The Cat's Pajamas is a monthly cabaret featuring spoken word, music, dance, and performance art acts that are an ode to the cultural aesthetics of the past. This Month join us for "The Revolutionary Poets Brigade" A celebration of the evolution of the revolution. Marxists and thinkers, border fighters and beatboxers, funk wailers and hip hop healers. dada tunes and videoscapes. It will be a night of expansion and if you don't have any idea what all of that meant you are just going to have come and see what it's all about. We are ready to honor all of the ways of the new.

Performers:

The Revolutionary Poets Brigade: They are a group of powerhouse poets who have battled the decades in search of meaning and truth. They walk their talk and are still invested in breaking this world wide open so that we can begin to live with a genuine justice. They prove that beautiful and vibrant words can actually make a difference. From this group two amazing women will be reading;

Dottie Payne: An intensely knowledgeable, supremely vibrant poet nurtured in literature and trained in the word fight for expressive rights who can also rock a pair of heels.

Jessica Loos: Is uniquely placed in the history of North Beach Poetry, having survived close relationships with many a Beat Icon, she brings both spirit and energy to the contempory table with her swagger and penetrating voice placing many of her peers decidely under that well notched table (and sadly in the case of some of her Beat predecessors, under the ground).

Other Performers: Xandra, Andy Warthol, Robyn,The Bombshells, Nate Pagel, We Are the Unreal, Sam Sax, and Paintings By Couca.

The Band:
Nkechi Live: With a voice that travels far past this known world into new and uncharted territory only to bring it all back and down with weight and earth and the gravity of soul, Nkechi has been known to cure your ills and heal your wounds through music but you didn't even know it because you were dancing so hard and having such a marvelous time. We get her and the full band so be prepared to move about wildly with a wide grin on your face. http://www.nkechi.com

I Stand :: words & music by Nkechi

I Stand  :: words & music by Nkechi

I Stand in Awe of U
I Stand Humbled by Ur Grace.
I Stand Receiving the Miracles
The Essence of Ur Name

When my eyes are closed and
No one’s looking in
U and I smile quietly inside
Remembering

U Came When I Least Expected U 2
U Came When I Least wanted U 2
U Came and Stayed and Stayed and Stayed
And Gave and Gave and Gave
‘Till I Couldn’t Stay Away.

I Stand in Awe of U
I Stand Humbled by Ur Grace.
I Stand Receiving the Miracles
The Essence of Ur Name

Even When Hopes Didn’t Seem 2 be Fulfilled
You Quietly Whispered Ur Purpose in my Ear
And Now I Exclaim I Hear U, I Hear U, I Hear U

I Stand in Awe of U
I Stand Humbled by Ur Grace.
I Stand Receiving the Miracles
The Essence of Ur Name

May 2010 Be Ur Most Blessed Year!

Blessings :-)
