*MUSIC*

LAUREN AND THE GOODFIGHTS:

Your hosts for this evening; Lauren and the Goodfights! This noisy and unapolegetically trans/gender diverse punk band are known for saying what they think and advocating half dressed queer moshpits that put the they's and gays to the front.

CALYPSO AND THE SUN DEMON:

This dreamy powerpop/altrock group create a sundrenched, uplifting vibe, reminiscent of if The Cure met Alkaline Trio. Jangly indie heaven, baby!

callURmum!:

callURmum! are a fresh off the presses all femme six-piece that combine emotive indie, funk and jazz together to concsiously create an environment that is groovy, safe and fun for everyone.


*DRAG*

MISS PHORIA's (they/them/it) act explores gender and body dysphoria through impassioned, raunchy and detailed performances that will leave you feeling exhilarated and SEEN!

VEX VIPER (he/him) will be serving trans, drag king realness, possibly with a side of the most iconic ass in all of Boorloo (Perth).

FUSSLENOSE (they/them): On Halloween night 2020, Fusslenose was born out of an anxious decision to perform at Cherry Bomb. A year and a half later they are continuing to channel their energy into an absolutely fearsome, sinister fae monarch that is a regular in the Boorloo (Perth) drag scene.

IMPULSE CUNTROL (they/he/she and emphasis on the C*NT): From Cat in the Hat with a WAP to Drag Jigsaw to Boorloo's sexiest tradie, Impulse Cuntrol's act is diverse as it is enthralling. We can't wait to have this creative rising star stamp on our stage.

LOLA AREOLA (he/she/they):

Lola Areola is performer that radiates freedom. Freedom from gender and sexuality labels, freedom from being confined to either masculine or feminine. We can't wait to see what Lola brings to the evening, but we're sure it will be enlightening and a bloody good time!


*POETRY*

CHECKOUT CHICK (She/Her): Hostess of Perth Slam and Neon Readings, Joni Boyd has been bringing poets, artist and communities together for years and we are extremely privileged to have this QUEEN weave their magic
DALEY RANGI (THEY/THEM):

Daley Rangi is a Māori antidisciplinary artist generating the unpredictable. Speaking truth to power and reorienting hierarchies, Daley is inspired by ancestry and fuelled by injustice.
