KAMI, booze, spoken word, poems… you know how this is gonna go.
And for all you punker old schoolers who remember places like The Abaddon, Producers (old version), Madlove, The Tiv and The Wheaty (old version) – Kami will also be reading an extract from his first novella S.F.&T* ; set amongst the blood, bile and burst eardrums of the Adelaide heavy music scene. Who knows – you may even recognise something of yourself in the stories.
Even for a Spoke N Slurred this one is gonna get loose and sloppy!

Michael Hier, an original Paroxysm Press 98er. Featured in a truckload of Paroxysm anthologies, this is his second single author collection of poetry but his first with Paroxysm, after all these years of gigs and Australia tours. Come with us to a time when it was all about the words, before it was about the waving of the hands and the flash on the mic. And as ‘Signals’ says “in the beginning, something about the word”.

Meanwhile, check out Michael in action at the recent “Too Stubborn To Die” Paroxysm Press Birthday Gig at Jive:
This time we are taking CHANGESONEBOWIE and mashing the tracks with a stellar line up of spoken word artists to give you the freshest, most inspired writing on the scene. Each artist will give their spin on a track from this best-of album chosen by the man himself and encapsulating his early career, so sure to cover many people’s favourite Bowie songs.
The night will also include bonus tracks, interstate guest and hard core Bowie fan Meg Dunn and some very special acoustic Bowie covers from Pete Howlett and Piers Diprose.
Sunday August 6th, 6:00pm start
