Bad Flower Radio Multi-genre music by trans and queer artists of today and days past.

Hey everyone, welcome to Bad Flower Radio and Blog!

The mission of Bad Flower Radio is simple: it is to scratch the surface and then dig into the eclectic mix of talented trans and queer musicians, and create bridges among genres and within community.

Trans and queer music artists, all have at least one thing in common: We are poorly represented in both mainstream and indie music. Thankfully, there are a handful of music lovers out there working to get exposure to queer musicians. Out Radio, TransFM, Trans-Genre, and the Queer Radical Radio Blog are some great projects that come to mind. It is my hope that Bad Flower Radio will help contribute to the great work these sites are doing.

Bad Flower Radio will stream trans and queer artists who are both new and established, mostly indie, and occasional mainstream acts for nostalgia and guilty pleasures. J

Although not exclusively, Bad Flower aims to feature artists of color and mixed race heritage, both on the radio and in the blog. The blog will include interviews, reviews, articles, videos, and occasional guest writers. I admit, there is not solid plan. I’m just following my passion and instincts. We’ll see where Bad Flower Radio takes us, and where the listeners take Bad Flower Radio.

I welcome suggestions and comments about the site and station, but because of time and bandwidth, I may not be able to address them all.

Please, feel free to suggest artists and to submit your own work either to my email address: storm@stormflorez.com

One final thing: In order to pay artist royalties and stay in business, Live365 has two options for listeners: You can listen for free, but you will hear advertisements, OR you can become a VIP member, which I am considering doing. With a VIP membership, you can listen without advertisements, and you can listen to stations who have reached their listener limit. Also, a portion of your VIP membership will go to your favorite broadcasters, which helps us keep up our sites.

Check here for their VIP deals: http://www.live365.com/web/index.live?cont=hom

I hope you enjoy the music!
