He has been creating and performing with The Living Theatre (the oldest avant-garde theatre company in USA) since 2014.&nbsp; He was a part of the company in the last year of the co-founder, Judith Malina’s life, when he performed in her last completed play, “No Place To Hide” on the streets of NYC. Brad also toured the US with The Living in 2016 on the Know Your Rites tour, performing a revival of The Living Theatre’s 1973 play, “Seven Meditations on Political Sado-Masochism”, while also performing direct-action street pieces at specific sites of coercion, oppression and exploitation around the USA. Brad also collaborated with The Living Theatre to collectively devise Electric Awakening (Despertar Eléctrico), which was workshopped and performed with local artists in São Paulo, Brazil in 2017 at SESC. Brad also helped produce the The Living’s Theatre’s Al Límite Tour in 2019, which brought Electric Awakening workshops/performances to Mexico City, Tijuana, Mexico and Los Angeles, CA. In 2016/2017, Brad wrote and produced music and live performances with Child of No Nation, a radical, experimental sound and performance project (with Leah V Bachar, jdaugh and Cypress Atlas). He is a co-founding member of the Al Límite Collective. &nbsp; (A clip video (preview) of some of the work with&nbsp;The Living Theatre - 2018 - video made by&nbsp;JDaugh) Projects/Tours:(CLICK ON

Using warped lap steel, experimental vocals, and found sounds, CNN excavates the relationship between panic and power. The album is a surreal commentary on virtual occupation via theatrical storytelling by the entity, La Panica. Embracing their panic as power, CNN emerges from the information stronghold where our senses are currently locked through audio and video revolt. In their live performance art, CNN collaborates with and celebrates the fluxus nature of society. Their live audio revolts are sound collage turned up. This agit-pop project has many faces and many lives as CNN continues to re-contextualize and revolt each track every time they perform live. Nothing is meant to stay the same. This is not music. We decided to release on Saturday April 10th to honor the death day of our deep muse and Patron Saint Judith Malina, who is still revolting with us every day. You’ll hear her voice and many others on this experimental record.

The year is Always. Written to survive. The Long Brainwash.&nbsp; Rinse Twice before Dream. Snapshots of a Popular Sickness eating itself (in the mirror). The slow-motion Anxiety of wage-slavery in dress Code. Double XL intuition, sagging without a belt.&nbsp; The loudest voice in a vacuum, pulling back the rug. (Undressing emperors with Words) Written from the Turning Gut of the Bureaucratic Beast brought to its knees picking up Change. The feeling’s been there for years. The feeling’s been there for years. Knew before knowing how to say it. Then said it in as many ways possible. To draw a room of the feeling. To write right next to the point, to just suggest one’s mind’s eye towards something but always allow them to find it themselves. No wrong answers, no stupid questions. The Humming Prole is a cigarette break, without a phone.&nbsp; A way home, to repeat tomorrow (and see something new). The Humming Prole is part rant, part deep breath. An uphill swimming pool. A room filled only with Tools to Break Out. The Humming Prole by Brad HamersAn introduction by jdaugh Meta4etry was the first book published by Brad Hamers in the year 2000. While it is the author's least favorite offering, its title might be the most apt and illuminating description of the writing you are about to consume. The communiques of Brad Hamers break from patterns of modern language in that they refuse the flag and staff of English rules or fad. He confiscates the rules of the language and breaks them to use as weapon. These poems are the washrag and loofa for the caged up soul. Some are the castille, some are the steel wool and 20 grit. This collection spans nearly 15 years of writing; a selection of poems that feeds the humming prole, but only makes them louder. Read it loud aloud. ---------------------------------------------------- The Humming Prole is Brad’s 3rd full book of poetry to be published, his first full book in 17 years, since the 2003 release of Leather Raincoats (+18 other titles). The Humming Prole is 60 poems and over 130 pages. Each copy is Handmade by Brad, perfect-bound with a homemade book-binding jig (video below).

Press: Queen City Sounds and Art .COM (2020):“Through Flames Deconstructs the Dystopian Late Capitalist Conditioning in the Call and Response Dialectic of “No Clothes on the Warden”“Brad Hamers and jdaugh bring their respective backgrounds in music, poetry, performance art, visual art and filmmaking to bear for their new project Through Flames. The duo released its debut self-titled LP on Apri 24, 2020 and the single “No Clothes on the Warden” cleverly makes use of the concept of “the emperor has no clothes” to deconstruct the economic and political realities we internalize and take for granted that if we’re able to break our conditioning and see things for how they are the whole thing could crumble in a matter of days or months and maybe we would be forced to simply live in a better world where there’s no techno-plutocratic agenda necessitating a police and surveillance state to smooth the funneling of most public goods to the upper one percent of one percent. In a fascinating use of call and response delivering couplets of observations on society in a way that challenges rote and familiar constructions of thought and language to almost force you to think about what’s being vocalized and in turn examine your ow thinking on the subject of our ascribed roles in the dystopian late capitalist international system that we find ourselves in now and which threatens the existence of us all and the safety of the planet. But rather than torching the edifice of such verbally and musically, Through Flames with this song dismantles the cognitive framework that keeps it in place in your brain in a playful and charming way. The accompanying rhythms, drones and spare melodies make what is a fairly radical set of propositions vis what is now for us the norm much easier to accept and that is what makes for a work of art that might help change things.” ------------------------------------------ Tome To The Waether Machine .COM (2020) :“Word of the Day” by Through Flames – a recording project between musician and poet Brad Hamers and filmmaker and performance artist jdaugh – was “borne from exquisite corpses, radical participatory theatre, spoken word, and love in Portland, Oregon.” A multi-part and divergent slice of “Sorrow-Pop”, spoken word poetry, choral arrangements, sound collage and slow-burning dirge-like synthesizer and guitar explorations, “Word of the Day” strains at the corners trying to contain all of this content and all of these ideas flying through the air. The loose narrative thread forms around ideas of vulnerability and safety confronted with the inherent instability of a system at it’s breaking point. Brilliant work.” ------------------------------------------- Last Day Deaf .COM (2020): Beyond Boundries Playlist (aiming to feature 10 “out-of-the-box”, outstanding gems!&nbsp; Not exactly unclassified, but certainly unique and uncommon) featured Through Flames’ Bombs Remind US of Freedom as track 1 on Playlist #29.“Welcome to the new dystopia!“ ------------------------------------------- Trip-Hop .NET (2020): (French):“Through Flames est le nouveau projet musical collaboratif de Brad Hamers, artiste aux talents multiples, poète et musicien de Portland connu aussi sous les noms de ses autres nombreux projets tels que Phlegm,&nbsp;Two Ton Sloth,&nbsp;The New Police,&nbsp;Child of No Nation, et notamment&nbsp;Dust On Snow, dont nous avions découvert l'album You Were Murdered As A Kid.(paru en 2011 et dont une version re-masteurisée a été publiée sept ans plus tard en 2018).Il s'est associé sur ce nouveau projet avec Jessica Dhaugherty,&nbsp;alias&nbsp;Jdaugh, écrivaine, poète, créatrice de musique expérimentale et de performances multimédia, aussi productrice et réalisatrice, basée à Portland.Fruit de cette collaboration, Through Flame, l'album éponyme paraît le 24 avril 2020 :Ecrit et interprété par Brad Hamers&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;jdaughParoles et voix de Brad Hamers&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;jdaugh"Chaque morceau du nouvel album est le résultat d'une écriture unique et d'une expérience vocale qui donne lieu à des structures de chansons non conventionnelles et à des tournures inhabituelles... il est conseillé de lire les paroles en même temps." ---------------------------------------- LYRICS: Tool Belt Down B: she brings her tool belt down from the highest coma the pointiest cloud drags it down like a parachute from a tree like all day rain like wet shoes she brings the Named ladder down last wiping crosses from her eyes blowing knows into the flag the pointiest dreams wild slugs on a team nation: gun made of money (pooh and turned honey) (made of) glut and fuck me he brings his wet pussy down from ivory towers like storm rain in a house gutter cums crashed planes like deployed troops money shot on afghan land she brings her ideology by a leash drags it around like fog like the lightest mountain &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (those only at the ‘top’ can climb) jog harder lift those sopping wet socks with holes you’re all day rain you’re (shackle-grade) lead shoes he brings the iron she brings the toast they break the hour glass and eat it like all day lunch the pointless-est cloud drags ya down like a fireman from a tree like all morning shakes he gets up gun first works backwards, draws straight lines with two right feet she dances in crosses and squaresthey weave pipe dreams (and bombs) in and out of herhe steps on her feethe makes them smaller and sells them to touriststhey dance for each otherthe stage half collapsed eaten and full of itself tool belt down aisle pointless six black sites with mops Now get your shoes wet bring the ladder down wipe your fee(a)t of muddied dreams they bring their tool belt and horse down last the dullest of butter knives the barely a drizzle &nbsp; (annoying rain(reign) in your face) &nbsp; the pointiest cloud you drag it around like someone else’s balloon you found stuck in ‘your’ tree she congratulates you and hands you summer he charges you for it and calls it ‘vacation/holiday’ pay with your broken pocket guitar punching down nails pick something to climb and eat fruit from before they both kill themselves and we realize they never existed it was just a downpour in a dream it was just timeblowing kisses into a ragit was only life dragged down like wet toilet paper from a front yard tree “tool belt down” --------------------------------------------------- Why Can’t I Dream.
