I REALLY like this act, and think the name of it is
Brilliant! Now, the act is indeed from Athens (Georgia), and started out as a
duo, releasing a debut album in 2004 on Daemon Records (label of the Indigo
Girls). That one had the clever title of “Rhapsody in T”…clever because the now
solo member, Katz, is a trans man, and clever because, hey, the lyrics are
clever…and biting, and funny, and political, and very queer. Three more CDs have followed over the years, each one fresh and powerful and in-your-face (in a nice way). And if you didn’t
think you liked slam poetry or spoken word, well, give some tracks a listen.
Katz is also an activist, and last year alone gave over 50 “Trans 101” talks.
As I’m quite fond of Katz’ spoken word gems, I went to his
site to see if there were any new releases, and…whoa, there’s a Kickstarter
Campaign right now for a new CD, and there’s only five days left and almost
halfway to go. So, while this blog started out solely to let folks know about
the artist and CDs, now I’m switching to plugging the Kickstart drive. We need
more Katz treasures preserved.
