This wasn't a traditional Hip-Hop show. In fact I was the only Hip-Hop artist on the bill. I was opening up for the other groups that were rock&roll acts that put on a really great show!
Here's the flyer:
I love branching out and doing gigs where there isn't a hiphop crowd. People are listening with a fresh pair of ears and are more open to you experimenting with new things. There's also the fact that I'm performing in front of people who have never seen or heard of me before. The vibe is just different. There are plenty nights though that performing for a hiphop crowd can be tribal, the audience just gets it, and you relate to them as much as they relate to you!
They killed it during their set! More on them later!
This is me, in front of the venue before the show. Jesus, I look so happy to be there, lol.
I was though. When I walked in and went downstairs I was greeted by the door person, the lovely, Kirsten Wicked.

Universal Truth Machine
Yo this band is sick! They did some cover songs of the Rolling Stones which sounded great. Their original songs were great! they mixed satire and informative lyrics that curse the way media and government manipulate the public. Give them a listen and check them out at :

Lee Lawless the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band was even nice enough to give her take on my performance that night:

| Nothing but love! I look forward to the day when we share the stage again! Most definitely sooner than later. |
Now she mentioned my song lyrics "vagina monologues", and "riot squads". Those are from my song 'Henny on ice', off of my album #Goneistheillusion. It's a song about my sexual experiences with the opposite sex. A dream of mines came true on stage that night when I had a dancer perform on stage during my performance of that song. Check it out below!
