Doug Upp
Decades after quitting bands (Imminent Riot, Patty Judy & The Dirt), canceling his talk show (Shaka Talk), and halting the presses on several zines (Shaka Zine, HoStage, Contraflow), Doug Upp is lucky & grateful his words were recently seen in local magazines Tropic, and The Manifold. In 2019, Canadian poet Amber Dawn picked upp and paid Doug, to be included in Arsenal Pulp’s Hustling Verse: An Anthology of Sex Workers’ Poetry. If the dope ain’t too mean he won’t blow this, and finish his latest sex worker rights zine KICKT (Kaniela Ing Can’t Know This).
