Slanty Eyed Mama

Meet Slanty Eyed Mama: two good Asian girls gone bad-assed. Virtuostic electric violinist Lyris Hung (who has also played with Jay-Z, Bono, has her own death metal band called “Hung” and tours with The Indigo Girls ) and Comedian/Poet Kate Rigg.  Their collaboration started as students at NYC’s Juilliard school where they  experimented with mashing up rock n’ roll, political comedy and spoken word. Invited twice to the Smithsonian, featured on PBS, LOGO, Pacific TV, and headlining major music and comedy festivals they are a dynamic force to be reckoned with!

The musician and multi-media artist, Daniel de Jesús was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His art artwork and music are a fusion Baroque music and art, pop-culture and the history Puerto Rico and South America.

Daniel de Jesus is celebrating the last 10 years of his recording career with the release of “El Oculto”, a survey of his underground recordings. The performance utilizes the brilliance of Daniel’s technical cello playing and singing, accompanied by electronic beats, and a video piece created by the artist.  The artist will also be wearing a costume designed specifically for him by designer Sienna Martz.
