Lesbian rock legend, Gretchen Phillips (Meat Joy, Girls in the Nose, Two Nice Girls) has been a huge influence on young punks and queers for some thirty years--and she'll be performing here in Atlanta, on May 21 at Eyedrum Gallery as part of the third annual MondoHomo queer culture festival. This Michigan Womyn's Music Festival regular and Austin, TX pillar of the community has been claimed as a personal hero by such bands as Le Tigre, The Butchies, and Pansy Division. Her own songwriting has granted her national and international acclaim, and she is the recipient of a GLAAD media award. Known for her ingenous cover songs, quirky romanticism, and witty sense of humor, Phillips' current solo act showcases her many talents for hilarious story-telling, tongue-in-her-cheek lesbian Casio songs, and good ol' lesbian acoustic rock.

ATLANTA QUEER LITERARY FESTIVAL and CHARIS BOOKS co-sponsors the performance, which will begin at 9:30 pm, following HomoSpoken: Love & Politics (spoken word from the best local queer poets and national acts). Phillips will be followed by performances by Athens Boys Choir and a screening of Kyle Keyser's documentary, Stories from the Road - a Film about Following PJ Harvey.
