Eddie the Rat are a cast of musicians under the direction of composer, Pete Martin. They have been performing since the year 2000. Eddie the Rat music is "experimental" and "avant-garde" as it calls your head to see who is home. It is "roots music" as it drills your heart for sincerity and simplicity. It is ritual music as it invites your feet to dance and for you to be in your body. All at the same time. It's All Part Of The Ongoing Construct.




Headboggle is a self described "culmination of diverging unsound musical and accidental pursuits by one Derek Gedalecia." He studied Classical and Ragtime piano under noted Ragtime Revivalist Dr. Brian Dykstra. Influences may/not include "Bartok, Scott Joplin, and Morton Subotnick, Eno's Oblique Strategies, Andy Kaufman, and John Cage.
Tonight: Head Boggle Acoustics in Auralsize

(XV The First Fifteen Years 1994-2009)
Rent Romus' Lords of Outland : broke from its 'straight-ahead' straight jacket in 1994 and through a series of transmogrification morphed into what you can hear today. Currently Culture of Pain and You Can Sleep When You're Dead! and The Pit are recorded results of this alchemy.
The 'Lords' feature Rent Romus on saxophones/electronics and a current line-up of sonically disturbed sound artists such as CJ Borosque no-input pedals/trumpet, Philip Everett drums/percussion, and Ray Schaeffer electric-bass.
Throughout the Lords' fifteen year history in the spirit of free form experimentation its core roster has changed numerous times featuring guests John Tchicai, James Zitro, Kash Killion, and many others.
Contained in XV are live public recordings many of which have never been released on disc one from 1994-2008 and, on disc two a new full length project recorded in 2009.

Cost: $6-10
