The Good Asian Drivers broke into the national spotlight in 2008 when slam poet Kit Yan and songwriter Melissa Li launched an unforgettable cross-country tour, playing in over 30 states in 12 weeks. Together, this performance powerhouse emerged from their breakthrough debut as one of the most electrifying artists of their generation.

Melissa Li's music, a catchy blend of folk-rock and pop, has been heralded for its honest lyrics and bold sound. A seasoned songwriter, Li's voice and style are distinct in its delivery, urgency, and charm. Melissa started her career performing in Boston at the tender age of 16. In 2007, she received the prestigious Jonathan Larson grant for her talent in music composition. Her most notable appearances include Boston Pride, The Somerville Theater, and numerous colleges and universities across the nation. Her highly-anticipated debut album, "2 Seconds Away" released in 2008 to enthusiastic reviews.

Kit Yan's spoken word tackles race and gender with candor, eloquence, and humor. Hailed by the press as "a slam force to be reckoned with," Yan's resolute delivery packs a mighty punch, leaving his audience completely transfixed. Wittily crafted and genuinely passionate, his pieces are rare treasures amongst a new generation of slam poets. Accomplished beyond his years, Yan started competing in Boston with professionals twice his age when he was just a college student. Before the age of 21, he landed a coveted spot in the Lizard Lounge National Slam Team, competed in the Individual World Poetry Slam, and won the world's largest slam.

Their newest addition is veteran drummer and percussionist, Ashley Baier, who has over 15 years performance experience and a Masters of Music from Mannes College at the New School. Skilled in all styles of performance from classical to jazz, Baier is part of the experimental rock project Just Puppets, and formerly part of Changing Modes, a Brooklyn-based art rock band.

For tour dates, see below.

*Note: STILL BOOKING NOW. If you want them to stop by your college or venue, please send an email to goodasianmanager@gmail.com.*

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that I saw you at the True Colors Conference and I absolutely loved your music (even if it isn't my "typical style"). I can't wait until I get the opportunity to watch you guys perform again. Keep on being amazing :)

FTM Book Vol. 1 = OUT NOW!!!!!

About FTM Book Vol. 1
FTM Book Vol 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life is an easy-to-understand, yet comprehensive primer on FTM issues such as:

What is an FTM?
How do FTMs see themselves?
Appearance
Stages in Transition
Surgeries Available
Common Personal Histories
Violence
Discrimination
Health Issues
Counseling
Relationships
Common Legal Issues

We've worked hard to help create definitions that will help you talk about trans issues with others, including terms for body parts unique to the FTM and by naming the stages of transitioning. This book is great for anyone who who is having trouble understanding the lifestyle or choices of a transperson. When we first began dating, we were shocked that there was no one place that he (Aaron) could turn to show me (Crystal) "See, this explains what being an FTM means." We hope that this book will be a good start.

Best of all, when you order FTM Book Vol. 1: A Basic Introduction to Transman Life you can feel good knowing that sales of the book are being used to fund more research to help FTMs and their partners get through the challenges of their lives. This is a great book for youself and for anyone you know who could use a little more understanding. Also, you can help teach others about trans issues by donating copies to your local high schools, colleges, LGBT centers and libraries.


Get your copy here: http://www.cafepress.com/muskegon115

FTM Book Vol. 2 is also in the works (more focus on relationship issues etc), as well as a few other things to be announced...

haha, well it had been stuck in my head all week, so I decided to add it. Now the problem is that whenever I go on my profile I have to wait for the whole song to end before I do anything else because Im distracted by it's catchiness,lol. Plus, I have to support another Ani DiFranco fan.
