About the hosts:

Jennifer Lanier -- actor, writer, seriously hot drag king -- makes her Portland debut as producer and co-headliner as part of the northwest leg of her Fall '07 tour. The New York Times called Jennifer's work in her solo comedy, "None of the Above" a "flash of beauty and inspiration", "a rollicking monologue". Johnetta B. Cole, President of Bennett College for Women wrote, "your performance is nothing short of magnificent and meaningful.

Nationally touring spoken word performer Kimberly Dark co-headlines with a cross between slam poetry and storytelling, always with a humorous dose of audience interaction. The Salt Lake City Tribune says: "Dark doesn't shy away from provocative, even incendiary statements. But don't expect a rant." Nouveau Queer Montreal comments: "Dark's powerful feminine stage presence and poetic style held the audience transfixed from start to finish."

Blasphemy Ball - Seeking Artists/Info

2006-12-14T00:59:08Z

(x-posted a fair bit - but I promise not to be tooooo much of a pain in the arse.)

Hey y'all --

in light of recent personal events that call for a good old-fashioned bout of acting out, I'm gearing up to throw the biggest, baddest most blasphemous ball ever... tribal drummers for pagany goodness, fire dancers, suspension piercing scenes, fetish artists, and I'm going to tell people to come as their favorite perversion of faith. Any faith. All faiths. A big EFF YOU to zealotry, bigotry and other oppressive bullshite. One big night of heresy and hedonism, one night of focused, therapeutic (if mildly childish) rebellion.

So I'm seeking info on fire dancers, drum corps, DJs, suspension and other acts that lend themselves to the lewd and lascivious.

Also seeking info on large venues that are down with fire and suspension. Ideas? Wanna get involved?

In love and lechery - TD

PIG is Raymond Watts.

Watts began his arrest record in London where he was most likely pissed off about something and doing sound manipulations, loops and live sound for Psychic TV. He soon crashed into Einstuerzende Neubauten (probably in a strip bar) and escaped the smug complacency of the English music scene by moving to Hamburg, Germany and setting up his Building Site studio in a bunker of munitions factory, where he invited in artists including Sprung Aus Den Wolken, Die Haut, and Christiane F. In his pursuit of a cutting edge music scene he sought out like-minded souls to create terrorism instead of tonality. Playing on European/American Neubauten tours, he quickly earned a reputation for destroying PA systems -- the security guards sent by the PA companies to protect the gear were not amused. Between their security thugs and ones hired by Watts to protect him from them, most nights ended up bloody, tense and occasionally on fire. Burning the stage and blowing up the PAs...you should have been there.

While collaborating with Neubauten's "gritter" twins: Blixa Bargeld and FM Einheit, Watts lived in the red light district next to a brothel, in amongst the sleaze of the Hamburg docks. Watts heard about Sascha Konietzko who was doing bizarre work with vacuum cleaners, and after drinking him into submission, dragged him and his tall, pale cohort En Esch down the stairs into the freezing Building Site studio, where they locked themselves into Watts' "frozen cesspit" with 20' steel sheets and other garbage, emerging with the KMFDM debut What Do You Know Deutschland?

When the wall came down, Watts split his time between London and Tokyo, looking for a new alien habitat after Berlin's pleasure dome exploded. PIG is big in Japan. Well of course he is. He's 6'3". PIG morphed with various collaborators and Watts started working with Japanese musicians, turning his attention to Schaft, which became a huge hit there. The Watts system emerged as an elastic style of working with refuse and collaborating with pariahs: one man's trash is another man's treasure, darling.

Long-time PIG fan Trent Reznor came to see him around '91/'92 at a tiny club in Camden, London, England and introduced himself to the unimpressed Watts who was surprised that this fellow knew most of PIG's scattered discography. PIG was invited to open Nine Inch Nails' European tour in '94 -- complete with real pig heads on stage that were a load of fun after a few days' decomposition. Later, in 1995, Reznor's Nothing label released PIG's fourth album, Sinsation.

In the mid 1990's, Konietzko ran into Watts again and they worked on the KMFDM vs. PIG EP, which led to Watts returning to the fold for Nihil, the most successful KMFDM album to date, which included the massive Watts-penned hit "Juke Joint Jezebel."

For 2005, Pigmartyr was re-mastered by Isaac Glendening of Cesium _137 and three bonus tracks were added along with new artwork to create Pigmata.
