Bek Graham (The Quirk) and Chris Lidstone (Bong Mountain) perform the track: "Ronald McDonald's Malevolent Fantasies Revealed After Hours at the Butcher Shop P.II: The Second Bloodiest Groundhog's Day of the Century"
In addition to performance, Graham works alongside scene-icon Tyler Dykema to advocate for accessible venues and safer facilities for those with chronic illness and disabilities. In 2019, Graham started pushing venues to adopt Safer Scenes policies based on the book Making Spaces Safer by Shawna Potter (War on Women).
Safer Scenes Initiative[]
In 2020, Graham teamed up with lifelong friend and Chasing the Sky bassist/lyricist Kay VanAntwerpen after their journalism non-profit foundation The Kreisau Circle published a long exposé documenting a decade's worth of date rape and harassment allegations against socially prominent area rapper Sean Ladd Powell. The two connected with Kara-Lynn Ferberder of Safer Scenes in order to push stronger harassment policies at venues, but the project was put on hold in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
