HEYPENNY / HOW I BECAME THE BOMB 607 AND FROWN POW'R at the ACAC Saturday night 9pm $7 Check out an ecclectic night of music from Tennesseans and Arkansans alike! When bands intentionally piece together so many undiluted and disparate components of pop music with no regard to subtlety, it's like diluting cotton candy with syrup or concocting a cocktail out of the strongest liquors (and cleaning solvents) you happen upon in your kitchen. Heypenny works with that type of mad mindframe, throwing everything — horns, staccato chants, synths, marching bands, backup singers — in the blender, then seeing what happens. Surprisingly, the “suicide slush” of songs works really well. In fact, they've received a fair bit of attention from MTV, who ran their video for “Copcar,” for their OK Go by-way-of Go! Team sensibilities. (Also, it should be noted that this band is two-thirds Arkansan, with Ben Elkins representing Fayetteville alongside fellow UA alum DJ Murphy.) Heypenny also brings fellow Nashville pop-rockers How I Became the Bomb. Rap virtuoso 607 and (full disclosure, my band) Frown Pow'r, provide an odd duo of local support. From the Arkansas Times

Your Canvas Junkie Host

I am your host at Canvas Junkie and work in several media. I design and make one of a kind sculpture you can wear or jewelry.

As well as paint, make found object sculpture and generally will chase after anything sparkly. When I was a teen my dad would introduce me as his daughter with the disclaimer of "You know artists are weird".

Now that I have seen many years of life pass by (I'm in denial about exactly how many)............. I'm happy to be known as an artist because....... life is just weird.
