Bizzart
Bizzart's an experimental rapper out of Los Angeles. Between 2003's Ear Drung and 2006's Bloodshot Mama, Bizzart became something altogether new. Once a spoken word artist turned M.C. turned abscratch expressionist Bizzart now occupies a circuit-bent performance art hip-hop space that none before him have occupied. A reformed poet who has lost faith in words alone, Bizzart has tucked Alkalyne's boom bap into bed with Accident's live noise comprovisations and together they dream of childhood and pray to a sometimes distant God.

On and Off Superfast are here to unlearn you the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. we are here to drink beer. we are here to kill war. we are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us. and when planet Earth is finally and completely reduced to a cosmic Mary Celeste; to Arthur C. Clarke's proverbial carpet of "carbon ash on a radioactive wind, " there will be neither the time nor the place to tell you 'we told you so'. so i just thought that i should tell you now: we told you so. www.myspace.com/onandoffsuperfast

Cost: $6-10 sliding scale
