"If there were ever a moment for a queer, disabled rapper with a love for jokes and revolution to be a star, the moment is now" - Village Voice
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 distinctly high pitched sense of humor. Backed by her gimp Greggy on drums, the band combines beats with shredding face live. Playing shows in every place they could, the band has since stretched into performance art, museum takeovers, politics, prison tours, permanent installations, theatre, film, and who knows what's next.…
"You can't really pin Kalyn's beats and collaborators to a specific era or subgenre of hip-hop, and she always switches up her configuration and presentation and methodology while making the music happen in consistently fascinating ways." - Tom Murphy from the Westword
"Anthems of emotional chaos are my favorite." - Andrea Gibson
"Heffernan drops a deft, cocksure, assonant emo rap... over a staccato art-rap twinkle (courtesy of keyboardist Ikey Owens of rock band the Mars Volta) and skewers otherizing media depictions that serve to make nondisabled people feel better about themselves. 'Ah "my cute wheelchair"?’ she raps. 'It costs as much as your sports car.’ ” - The New York Times
"So...damn...good." - Sage Francis
"One of the most risky and exciting MCs on the city's hip-hop scene." - Denver Post
