Trista diGenova-CHANG stirs it up onstage, from a little standup at Taipei Improv, to open mic & MC’ing LITERATI open mic @The Living Room, to poetry readings in Dublin’s International Pub & a telephone kiosk in Belfast, & opening for punk band S.U.E. at Spring Scream, Asia’s Number #1 music festival! A little something-something for everyone. PS: I’ve been censored since the 2nd grade!

This song, ‘In The Death Camp’ by members of the band Radio Banciao – Mark Perrault & Trista diGenova-CHANG, glosses over tough living conditions in Nazi death camps, but seems to apply well to the current Time of Covid!
One for the Aussie contingent, & possibly sell to Vegemite company as fun – & hopefully lucrative form of advertising.
