species fucking

if you missed the mardi gras parade on saturday night then you forsook the opportunity to witness the glory that was the thaw ballerina chickens (complete with interpretive dance to opera), not to mention the sleekly subversive cat, a cuh-ray-zee monkey and a bunch of vegie dancers!!!

the night in question featured a whole lot of gender fucking*, and discussions of species fucking. which brings me neatly to the below flyer. are they human or mermaid^? or one of each (i only see one tail!)? can a mythical being really be considered another species??? who knows the answer to these pertinent questions...

all i really know is that you should come along to these shows.


if you want a really special treat then venture up into the mountains on monday april the 2nd and partake in a night of powerful beauty:

ryokuchi + firewitch + the thaw
@ akemi, great western highway (meadlow bath, blue mountains)
from 7pm

there will be such a cacophony of droning bass love and mountainous beauty and delish baking and ace jap-english!

xxx kat thaw

ps this post may be slightly confusing as we still have 2 shows for march (see below), plus there's some rumor that some band called "what the" may be playing this thing called renegade parade... dunno what that's all about...

*if you are not familiar with this term (much as i recently was not), it refers to those who dress in an androgynous manner so as to confuse the onlooker - are they male or female? thus demonstrating that allot of what we perceive to be genetically pre-determined in the sexes is rather a product of society and gender constructs. but really i made this up from part of a tired 5 second conversation on the roadside so it's more likely a bunch of palaver...

^i wonder if there's gender fucking in the merpeople world? for aren't there mermaids and mermen? or is it a non-gender specific species?
