Let’s Hear it for the Boy!!!
Current mood:  nostalgic
Category: Pets and Animals
ouTsideRs presents: Let's hear it for the boy!!!
Wednesday, 14th May, 7pm
New kids on the Brisbane poetry block - ouTsideRs - look like being sued by one time Beast of Bourbon and regular Cruel Sea member James Cruickshankover claims that he & "the sea" are in negotiations with stock-aitken-waterman to rename themselves the Waves of Joy in an attempt to storm the Dutch charts as a rejuvenated boy band. James Cruickshank has shot a terse reply that the collective quote "better get a lawyer, son". The outsiders group has responded by leaking this onto youtube to support their claims - www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvpiuTizK6E . Mr Cruickshank will feature solo at their May showcase to reassure fans worldwide that he still banging out mad rhythms with a wooden spoon.
Suzanne Suzanne - former air guitarist / pole dancer in 90's nu-soul boy band Colour Me, Beige - will also be hitting out with her first solo set of interpretative "streets of the (he)art" spoken word so as to keep it real this winter & finish her 20 song deal with another bad creation records.
If that's not enough to colour you bad, choreographing the night will be Bris –vegas backstreet boi Ghostboy and his nu flavour sisters Maiden Speech & Miss Tess who invite you into the boyzone and ask can you take that? as part of their monthly poetry slam with the winner going into the December Woodford Folk Festival slam off + prizes from Trash video......they will have the session singers primed to 98 degrees for a range of boy band games which will have you reaching for your pitch modulator and 12inch remixes.
There is also a return of the famous Solid Gold Dancers (just ask 'Now You See It' host Mike Meade or Big Friendly Elf, Crazy Elf) but you'll have to be on time to see them!
Doors open 7.00pm, entry $5 with a free bell-biv-devoe. Come in your boy band best and prepare yourself for a poetry journey to the westlife.

Cum ouT OF THE WOODWORK - ouTsideRs Brisbane AUDITIONS
Current mood: Ready!
Category: Ready! Writing and Poetry
Cum ouT OF THE WOODWORK!!!
ouTsideRs (Brisbane) and The SiSTERs thREE are quivering to offer a fresh new initiative on the spoken word scene.....we are holding a free audition clinic for potential paid spoken word features this year on Wednesday 11th April from 3pm in T'N'G Cellar to give a chance for fresh freaks, poets and inspired kooky wordsmiths/smithstresses to hit the ouTsideRs stage.
We want people willing to engage / perform / push boundaries with live spoken word/performance art. It is about giving the audience a mental and visual stretch. Pieces need to be performed not read but other than this stipulation, there are no, no limits!!!
As places are starting to fill, those interested should email us via myspace to book a spot on the day or email ghostboy@aapt.net.au.
If you are unable to attend the audition, we recommend you message us anyway and then enter our slam competition, held each ouTsideRs - we'll be able to get an idea of your style.
Interstate and International performance poets visiting Brisbane this year should also get in touch, as can any other musos or performers who are interested in being included in the lineup.
