2011 Royal MerCourt
Grand Marshall – Debora Iyall
Debora Iyall is best known as the lead singer and lyricist of Romeo Void, a San Francisco band that mined the sexy veins of new wave music with 1981’s “Never Say Never” and 1984’s “A Girl In Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)”. Iyall made one solo album for Columbia, Strange Language, in 1986. In his Real Life Rock column in New West magazine, Greil Marcus praised Iyall as one of the most exceptional artists to emerge from California’s new wave scene. Her 2010 album, Stay Strong, is available on Dottie Records. (www.deboraiyall.com)

Queen Mermaid – Heidi Ho
Performance artist, smart ass, and all around super hero. Has a penchant for Manhattans and 70s porn. Likes short walks from the couch to the refrigerator. Legs that can kill and a wit that will confound.
