Murrrmph, gurgle, splutter, argggh. Hmmmm, do you have Cottonmouth? Then get ready to spit diction at Australia's newest spoken word narrative art performance night. It happens on the second Thursday of every month and occurs in a very unique format - part performance, part publication, part podcast - but a whole lotta fun. Yes, Cottonmouth is the new mark in literary chic, so read on and appease your inner geek.
Cottonmouth IV is coming to the Rosemount's Bar 459 on Thursday, July 10. There will be sonic delights. There will be an adamantine Tomas Ford causing trouble. There will be zines and keyboards. There will be the pegline project part IV, which is building a mass of materialb(check it out below). There will be performers confirmed very very very soon. Do you know of any better reason to break out your Cottonmouth?
$5 at the door for all the words you could reasonably digest. 7:00 pm for open mic registration, smallish dancing and drinks. Be early if you want to read at the open mic - registration closes at 8pm SHARP.
In the meantime, check out our new website located at www.cottonmouth.org.au & hear all the performers from last time. Yes...hear. We have audio. We have video. We have Cottonmouth.
Who I'd like to meet:
Writers, poets, word-smiths, sound artists, performance types, playwrights, musicians, nu-media creatives...in fact, anybody who thinks they have what it takes to get up on stage and intrigue an audience. If you think you are this type of person, then please by all means send us a sample of your work (two pieces) along with a 50 word bio plus links to your work online to info@cottonmouth.org.au as soon as possible.
Not only do we have a performance night, but we also have a monthly publication called C O T T O N M O U T H for which we are constantly looking for content. The focus of this publication is new writing with national - yes, national - focus. So, as above, if you'd like to be considered for the publication by all means email info@cottonmouth.org.au two pieces of work along with a 50 word bio.
In the meantime look us up at Rosemount's Bar 459 located at the corner of Fitzgerald and Angove in North Perth on the second Thursday of every month...or visit us online at www.cottonmouth.org.au...and get ready to spit diction!
The fox when it sees a flock of herons or magpies or birds of that kind, suddenly flings himself on the ground with his mouth open to look as he were dead; and these birds want to peck at his tongue, and he bites off their heads.
Hi Cottonmouth! How are you? I just thought I'd call in and let you know I've added three new song ideas in case you want to come and have a listen! 'Caught Between Two Worlds', 'Why' and 'Charming Man'. Bye for now, Stephanie x
