ARTIST VISIT | August 11-15, 2021
Pacolli's week at Lion's Tooth
On the week of August 11-15 Lion's Tooth is getting a special visit from Pacolli, the incredible artist who designed our logo. During her time here Pacolli will paint a mural on our bar and other fun stuff around the store. SAVE THE DATE and don't miss the mural reveal party on Saturday night starting at 4PM.
Bar mural reveal: Saturday August 14, 2021 4PM CST
Come meet Pacolli and celebrate our new mural with us!
San Francisco based artist Pacolli, seen here installing her art at Banksy's legendary print shop and gallery Pictures on Walls, in London, is originally from São Paulo, where she was a producer at MTV Brazil and curated and ran an art space called Bendgy. Self taught and with a strong DIY ethic, Pacolli works in a variety of media and styles, including painting, silk screening and collage. In addition to the original pieces, her amazing compositions can be found in prints, zines, and an array of one-of-a-kind gear and objects -- and soon also on murals at Lion's Tooth!

BOOK EVENT | Thursday August 5 5PM CST
Punks in Peoria: Making a Scene in the American Heartland
By Jonathan Wright and Dawson Barrett
Lion's Tooth presents a celebration of Punks in Peoria: Making a Scene in the American Heartland, by Jonathan Wright and Dawson Barrett. In person at Lion's Tooth and broadcast on Instagram Live @lionstoothmke
The authors will be present virtually for a discussion, reading and Q&A.
About the book:
Synonymous with American mediocrity, Peoria was fertile ground for the boredom- and anger-fueled fury of punk rock. Jonathan Wright and Dawson Barrett explore the do-it-yourself scene built by Peoria punks, performers, and scenesters in the 1980s and 1990s. From fanzines to indie record shops to renting the VFW hall for an all-ages show, Peoria's punk culture reflected the movement elsewhere, but the region's conservatism and industrial decline offered a richer-than-usual target environment for rebellion. A raucous look at a small-city underground, Punks in Peoria takes readers off the beaten track to reveal the punk rock life as lived in Anytown, U.S.A.
About the authors:
JONATHAN WRIGHT is a writer, editor, musician, and longtime veteran of the Peoria music scene. He is editor in chief at Peoria Magazines.
DAWSON BARRETT is an associate professor of history at Del Mar College. His books include The Defiant: Protest Movements in Post-Liberal America.

POETRY READING | Wednesday August 11 5PM CST
Holding My Selves Together: New & Selected Poems
By Margaret Rozga
Join us for an evening with poet Margaret Rozga to celebrate her book Holding My Selves Together: New & Selected Poems. In person at Lion's Tooth and broadcast on Instagram Live @lionstoothmke
About the book:
In Holding My Selves Together: New & Selected Poems, her fifth volume of poems, Margaret Rozga brings together some of her best-loved poems about Milwaukee’s fair housing marches and her concern for issues of peace and social justice with new poems that identify with Alice in Wonderland and imagine new Alice adventures. New poems also grapple with issues of recent political turmoil and pandemic-induced uncertainty. They seek and sometimes find the words, the moments of calm, needed to hold oneself together.
About the author:
As 2019-2020 Wisconsin Poet Laureate, MARGARET ROZGA edited the anthologies Through This Door: Wisconsin in Poems and On the Front Lines // behind the lines. She is an emeritus professor of English at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee at Waukesha and was recently chosen the first scholar / artist in residence at the UWM at Waukesha Field Station.
