January 15th 2010 - Zine Release & Psychedelic Experience in Ridgewood, Queens, NYC
@ the silent barn (915 Wyckoff Ave)
SHOWCASE STARTS AT 8 PM
with:
Pots and Powercells
(New Brunswick, NJ, on Earthly Illusion Records, DIHD Records) - "Freak improv / 'junk jazz' collective, picking up where, New Brunswick's Buckets & Batteries left off in 2003. Featuring members of NJ avant garde and psychedelic acts such as, Human Adult Band, the Yets, Whorl and of course Buckets & Batteries." - DIHD
Cache
(Brooklyn) - "Like an artisan setting delicate watercraft adrift in obscure and densely misted marshlands, Cache (Brooklyn artist and musician Christiana Femano) guides fragile melodies into amorphous landscapes of quiet noise." - Impose Magazine, 2009
Magnet City Kids
(NYC - Philadelphia based) - Tri-state all stars. Some have compared them to a riotous early Yo La Tango - Its always been a fun time.
Anisette & Divets
(Rhode Island) - On tour, with blasting, ascending guitar 'rifts' that tear chasms into your bowels. Tapes and vision quests accompany.
Andy Borsz
(Brooklyn) - Of Slasher Risk, brings deconstructed guitar mayhem into a solo performance. Not to be missed.
Kohoutek
(Washington D.C.) - "What we get is a sonic bag that is raw, gorgeous, loud, dreamy, dissonant and mystical at the same time, somehow managing to transcend all sorts of seemingly limited genre barriers. Dedicated followers of bands such as the Spacious Mind, SubArachnoid Space and Ash Ra Tempel will for sure want to check these cats out, with a musical style that at its best rarely goes wrong in the live setting." - Mats Gustafsson
Sharks with Wings
(Brooklyn) - Heaving "electronic murk" from the prolific Heat Retention Records.
N/A
(Brooklyn) - Adam Collision's Baltimore to Brooklyn transplant; tripped out hymns on tape and chanting makes for one man sounding like a hall of monks.
Viewshed:Awesome Reality is a compilation of short stories along with fantastic illustrations contributed from 15 up-and-coming artists and writers from around the USA; one major art contributor, Jason Krugman, recently installed the glowing, larger-than-life human sculptures in McCarren Park in Williamsburg; another contributor, writer Adam McDermott is set to have a comedic memoir published in 2010. Each piece flows into the next; the result is a good read.
