Performer Profile: We’re From Out West

we're from out west

artists:

Jesse Byiers and Thomas McKechnie are hetrosexual life partners who make plays together with [elephants] collective and Katzman Contemporary Working Group and also play in this shitty band called We’re From Out West that they created in the first lonely depressing winter together in Toronto.

abstract:

Shitty Songs for Shitty Kids is a music-play that uses the music that Jesse and Thomas have written together, their semi-autobiographical accounts of a road trip through eight of the ten provinces in this country, Jack Keraouc’s semi-autobiographical novel On the Road and whatever else is at hand to explore how we create ourselves as individuals. You have to get out and to come back in.

extras:

These are some pictures of Jess or [us] doing shit that may or may not be in the play. I (Thomas) took both.

I will be doing an acoustic performance of a handful of original songs that will be mostly comprised of my latest compositions. I’m hoping for some audience feedback and criticism to help shape the songs as I continue to develop them.

Near Strangers

I almost went to bed

without remembering

the four white violets

I put in the button-hole

of your green sweater

and how i kissed you then

and you kissed me

shy as though I’d

never been your lover

– L. Cohen
