Johnny Strike is the author of a novel, Ports of Hell, and A Loud Humming Sound Came From Above, a collection of short stories. In the late 1970s he played guitar and sang in the seminal San Francisco punk rock band Crime. He will read over a squall of sound.

Roger Pinnell’s fiction has been published in the Cimarron Review, Bananafish, Holy Titclamps and Harrington Gay Fiction Quarterly. His short story “Shave” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 2007. In the late 1980s, Roger sang in Piglatin, a band whose music the East Village Eye equated with “nighttime surfaces, shadows, cigarettes, and the seamy side of soured dreams.”

Alvin Orloff began writing in 1977 as a teenage lyricist for The Blowdryers. He dabbled in theater with The Sick And Twisted Players and performance art with the Popstitutes. His most recent novel is Gutterboys. He is also the author of I Married An Earthling, and his writing appears in Pills, Chills, Thrills And Heartache and other anthologies.

Carrie Hall has been published in the San Francisco Bay Guardian and on identitytheory.com, among other places. She’s at work on her second novel, Nothing Is Anywhere, about a paranoid schizophrenic, a sexual compulsive and an Eritrean refugee who find themselves in a love triangle while trying to figure out who killed their agoraphobic neighbor.
