BLED SORGHUM
The historic public debut of Bled Sorghum, this master-trio comprises Jake Rodriguez, Matt Ingalls, and Tom Djll severally renowned for intense spontaneous manipulations of horns, celli, electronical circuits, woodwinds and unlikely human anatomy.

OMNIVEROUS SENSILLIUM
Sporadic reports of the mysterious appearances of two impeccably groomed arachnids date back to the San Francisco of the 1990s. With the help of spider baiting, we hope to lure them out once more. Audiences are forewarned: more alarming than the sharp fangs curving beneath their compound eyes is the silver case each creature lays open revealing a horrid nest of patch cables and synth circuits that being transmitting their abstract rasping song across the Wittgensteinian chasm of anatomicaly-bound consciousness that heretofor separated bug from man. Until you've had a spider perched at each ear, you've never experienced true stereo.

SHARON TATE FETUS EXPLOSION
No Wave-inspired, post-industrial, art-damaged, and generally damaged. Huddling under the noise umbrella, some of STFE's material is songs with words. STFE has been compared by relatively undiscerning listeners to Not-Available/Moleshow-era Residents and Sonic Youth.

"We will be incentivized
For the glory of the hive
Premium... Royal... Jelly
Throughout our larval lives
Eyeless, legless, soft, white worms
Mentored by consulting firms."

NAMES
The long awaited return to live performance from Names, the inscrutable hyperpresent duo of Gerritt Wittmer and Jesse Jackson. Using crafted sounds and various synth based instruments, they meld darkness with melody and rhythm, strengthening ties to a new reality by exploring concepts of life, death, pain and the absence thereof while embracing a void of depravity and austerity.

Cost: $5
