Desdamona is the premiere female hip hop and spoken word artist in the Midwest. A FIVE time Minnesota Music Award winner for Best Spoken Word Artist (2000, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006). What about 2001 and 2002, you might ask? The award didn't exist those two years. It is clear that Desdamona's potent poetry and fierce hip hop delivery have been an invariable force. Making her mark not only in the Twin Cities, Desdamona has graced some of America's most famous stages including The Hollywood Bowl, The Green Mill in Chicago... Read more about Desdamona on Last.fm.
Alicia Wiley
From Minneapolis
First show since since October 28, 2009 • First Cause show • 22nd show on MN Live's calendar since March 10, 2006
From last.fm:
Alicia Wiley is a rare talent with amazing command of the piano, her voice, and the art of songwriting. Whether she's playing an intimate solo set or pounding it out with her band, Alicia Wiley puts on a show that defies her years. Although she's gathering comparisons to the likes of Fiona Apple and Diana Krall, Alicia has a sound all her own. One moment she's banging out piano riffs that get jazz aficionados bopping their heads and the next, she's belting out choruses that leave pop music fans delighted.

"Ill Chemistry" combines Desdamona's soulful, complex & thought provoking lyrics with Carnage's cleverly-executed, multi-angular beatbox skills and occassional off-the-wall rhyming to deliver a raw sound in an energetic & engaging live Hip Hop show that has traveled throughout the Midwest and East Coast!
