Hey gang -

and meet our featured player for May/June 2009 - Canadian guitarist & 
transgender-rights activist Suzy Wedge of Nanaimo BC Canada. Photo-filled review &
 interview by Robert Urban.

SUZY WEDGE was born in Turkey, Istanbul as Cihan Unal in 1983 and moved to 
Canada in 2006. She attended Vancouver Island University, Jazz Studies 
Program as a guitar major. On December 31st 2008, new years eve, she realized 
that she was actually a woman. She changed her name to Suzy Wedge and in 
January, 2009 formed the surf-rock trio Suzy Wedge & the Waves.

"So now I am a transsexual girl", says Suzy. "I live full time as a girl. I 
go shopping and have fun with my friends. I am so much happier living as a 
woman. Also I am so proud that I am a trans woman. I read a lot about 
transgender issues and afterwards, I decided to become transgender activist 
musician."

Suzy combines her ideas with Garage punk attitude and Surf rock music that 
is her revolutionary vehicle. Her compositional themes are sex change, fear 
that creates transphobia, gender (im)migration, transgression, prejudices 
against transgender persons, moving beyond the gender binary...

"Expert guitarist SUZY WEDGE - who specializes in the venerable genre of 
rock know as "Surf" - captures all the signature sounds - the trebly bite, 
staccato riffs, dive-bomb slides & vintage reverb of classic surf-guitar rock. 
Along with her trusty sidemen - drummer Paul and bassist Dustin - SUZY WEDGE 
& THE WAVES offer up a most danceable & energetic version of west-coast 
inspired instrumental guitar-bass-drums surfdom. I daresay their sound could 
provide soundtracks for a variety of wild, edgy & fun-filled pulp fiction, 
biker, beach party, etc. type teen films". - Robert Urban, URBAN PRODUCTIONS,
