"Pretenders" Graphic Novel Memoir

The rough pages of the beginning of my "memoir" of my time at the beginning of the 80's and particapation of the Minneapolis music scene, through a series of lip synching contest at First Avenue (made film famous by Prince.) Contestants could portray any musician or group, but not use real instruments, instead use handmade props or household objects. Yes, that's what I looked like in '81. Friends and I competed in weekly contests leading up to a grand prize finale.

I'm really excited to see more of this. It's different and it's personal.

I've got some covers and a couple of my own on Instagram, done in my living room so the vocals aren't too audible. I made a demo with some better recording equipment, the mp3 format doesn't let me post though.

We were a horror punk band but I wrote a bunch of queer songs. We were called Midnightmare, I think I have the files somewhere. Do you have a link to your music?

Cool, what was the band? We should talk, I'm a guitarist/writer/sorta singer

As a former queer punk singer I love this
