8pm fognozzle
9pm French Radio
Jim Kaiser, Bruce Anderson and Andy Way

fognozzle is: (non-compact) fluorescent lightbulbs, the smell of the dumpster behind the fish and chips place, corvids fighting raptors with potentially Marc Arsenault, William Folwer Collins, Steven Fujisaka, Pete von Petrin, Slaugh, or David J. Walker who knows we will find out when we get there...

Experimental supergroup French Radio (featuring Bruce Anderson of MX80, Jim Kaiser of Petit Mal, and Andy Way of Maleficia) will be making a rare live appearance.
"Through their constructions of guitar, turntable, tapes, and boat-loads of effects, French Radio conjures an interconnected sound between all of their base elements. The flanging tone-float activity of mangled electricity into distant clouds of din, crackle, and spectral dust has the threatening aura of an electrocutioner's chamber buzzing with high-voltage tension. Unrecognizably abstracted vocal collages culled from varispeed tapes and reverse spun turntables spiral in and out of the ominous clouds, topped with squalid layers of thunderous distortion alternating with mournful half-melodies strummed on Anderson's guitar." From Aquarius Records

Cost: $6-10
