Alan Mudd seeks the performance of small inarticulate spaces in the natural human world, but, son of a preacher, often confuses for poetry. Otherwise the logic of a daydream. Dislikes windows that won’t open. Author of Bumble (2013); co-founder of the Full Moon Poetry Jam in Morrison Alley; recipient of the Robert Creeley Scholarship (Naropa University); co-founder of LuNaMoPoLiS; his work has appeared in Semicolon, American Letters & Commentary (Alan Collier), and Squid Quarterly (Alan Collier).
Teacup Gorilla are petite & deadly ground-dwelling apes that inhabit the china-shops of Denver with angular riffs and obtuse stomping. Since forming in 2010, Teacup Gorilla have performed at poetry readings and hard-core house shows; in bars, breweries, and garages; composed live theatre soundtracks; and founded The Bakery arts warehouse. Inspired by bands like Mogwai, Modest Mouse, Tom Waits, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Fugazi, they create a music of conflict, disagreement, struggle, and collaboration without compromise.
