Troy Curtis heads out east with PMR!
Troy Curtis at Anno Domini
Our good friend and partner in crime, Troy Curtis, is heading out east with the Perpetual Motion Roadshow. If you live in or find yourself visiting Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, New York, Montreal, Ottawa or Toronto between September 16th through the 23rd, you should pay one of the fine hosting venues a visit and catch his performance. Troy will be travelling to 7 cities over 8 days to perform with China Martens (zinestress extraordinaire) from Baltimore and Eric Lab Rat (faithful urban scribe) from Chicago.
Troy's debut album Songs for Girls Who Don't Deserve Them (recorded in an abandoned church) will accompany him on the journey as well. Please show him some of that East Coast and Canadian love!
PMR heads out west again starting in November. Watch Anno Domini's schedule for details.

Troy Curtis has settled in San Jose, California after years as a rambling poet and musician. Born in the small blue-collar town of Rockville, Connecticut, Troy's desire to perform stems from his parents' sacrifice of their artistic dreams. With a voice that perilously floats, Troy's titanic lyrics sink into one's heart like stolen treasure. Recorded in an abandoned church, Troy's first album Songs for Girls Who Don't Deserve Them is presented live and unedited. The album was created to replace mixed tapes and CDs as the preeminent way to express loss at the unfortunate endings to romantic relationships. www.myspace.com/troycurtis
China Martens is the editor of The Future Generation: A Zine for Subculture Parents, Kids, Friends & Others, and is expecting her first book out this winter -- an anthology of the last 16 years of The Future Generation -- with Atomic Book Company. She also writes a column for Slug and Lettuce and puts out numerous other one-shot zines and chapbooks like Dustbunny, SuperMarket SuperModel, and the Baltimore City Paper "Best Zine" award-winning I Was... a Student Nurse!
Eric Lab Rat traverses his native Chicago on a blue Schwinn tricycle, meeting interesting people and collecting curios from dumpsters. He splits time between stints as a DJ, math tutor, and landscaper. On Tuesdays, he hosts a soul show on WLUW; on Fridays he throws down on the legendary freeform station WZRD. His set may include letters written to concepts, God, and government; poems about ghosts; and songs about celebrity vaginas. His work can be found under a variety of aliases in Gapers Block, the Banana King, and The 2nd Hand. A couple of times a month, he unloads on reverendlabrat.blogspot.com.
