S2E23 - For the Love of Creation ft. Debora Iyall

  • Summary

  • We are back with a brand new episode of Drag Time with Heklina! This time our very special guest is none other than the artist, poet, and total rocker Debora Iyall. She tells us all about the genesis of her post-punk/new wave band Romeo Void which formed at San Francisco Arts Institute in 1979.

    Debora is a member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, a tribe of Southwestern Coast Salish and Sahaptan indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest located in Washington. She tells us a little about her time with Occupy Alcatraz at just 16 years old. Debora has some great stories, including the time that Miss X (Vegas in Space) did her makeup when Romeo Void opened for the Jim Carroll Band on NYE. It turns out, she was in the music video for “Brand New Dance” by our friend Timmy Spence!

    She is still performing but now spends most of her time helping high school kids learn about creating visual art.
