Wheelchair Sports Camp is certainly not your average hip-hop act. Hailing from Denver, CO, fronted by Kalyn Rose Heffernan—a wheelchair using, profanely queer and tiny rapper, with a very distinctly high-pitched sense of humor. Backed by her gimp Greggy on drums, the band combines fantastic beats with an absolutely face shredding live show. Playing shows everywhere they could, the band has expanded into performance art, museum takeovers, politics, prison tours, permanent installations, theater, film, and now the release of their newest album, “Oh Imperfecta!” on Alternative Tentacles Records. They bring together contributions from Jello Biafra (twice), Radio Pete (who happened to come up with the name Dead Kennedys when Biafra was a teen in Boulder, CO, and this is their first time ever collaborating musically), Kimya Dawson (Moldy Peaches), Oliva Jean, Junia-T, Amy Goodman, and some honorary WSC members: Qknox, Michelle Rocqet, Wes Watkins, RAREBYRD$, and many more; to create 11 absolute bangers.

Alternative Tentacles Records is proud to introduce Wheelchair Sports Camp – Denver’s biggest smallest band! Combining humor, playfulness, middle fingers, and an undeniable love for the groove, Wheelchair Sports Camp is certainly not your average hip-hop act. Fronted by Kalyn Rose Heffernan—a wheelchair using, profanely queer and tiny rapper, with a very distinct high-pitched sense of humor. This noisy experiment was birthed by the DIY, combining beats with shredding face live. Playing shows in every place they could, the band has since stretched into theatre, performance art, public television, politics, prison tours, permanent installations, and who knows what's next…. With two songs on this Alternative Tentacles Records debut 7-inch record, the band has written a future viral-hit with, “Yess I’m A Mess”. Conscience hip-hop mixed with acoustic beats, swelling keys and a lyrical flow that will get one singing along on the first spin. Side B does not slow down with Heffernen taking aim at her very own variation of trip hop beats and tones and her own experiences. For fans of Living Legends, People Under The Stairs, and J5.
