9pm Poet Robert Anbian w/Rent Romus saxes/accordian/objects and Bob Marsh cello

“Mere words can’t even begin to describe how...whacked-out yet utterly brilliant Anbian’s poetry is.” — RKF, The One True Dead Angel Magazine
“His voice crackles with a midnight vibe....” – sea of tranquility
“Anbian creates an impressionistic, dreamy ride through a typical cultural Mecca at night, with love, politics and the aforementioned [anal] fetish in mind.” — Music Emissions
“These stories have erotic connotations, but much more than describing fantasies, they are depictions of a life that is rewarding and rich and sees something exciting happening around every corner. It is hooked by all the little things...as well as by the colorfulness of a city filled to the brim with manifold languages and cultures.” – Tobias Fischer
“A passionate virtuoso steeped in these times and deep with tradition. His poetry crackles with currency — hiply linguistic turns of natural originality, rhythmically brimming with a tempestuous taste of ecstasy, reason, and love.” — Oxygen

"Others describe Polly Moller as an 'urban assault flutist'. Polly masterfully performs in the boundaries between art, music, poetry, and the human condition. Her 2003 CD 'Diogenes' 'was named after the legendary Greek Cynical philsopher who prowled the land day and night with a lit lantern, in search of an honest man.' Be prepared for punctuated poetry and percussion. Reminiscent of a beat generation combined with the current age, Polly generates a mental engagement that doesn't let go of you and awes you in wielding her prose and the unimaginable sound of what a flute can do in a poet's hands. Heading towards in 'E ticket' for the spiritual path." -- Austin Space, KFJC
