Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase
A moustache twirled sufficiently and held in place with tears can serve, the way cats' own whiskers do, as antennae directing vibrations to the philtrum where they resonate uniquely between septal and orbital bones amplifying gravity waves so weak as to be otherwise undetected despite playing their fundamental role in spinning the Sun. To all face-shorn humankind, Chris Cooper brings withering critique of fear's own coping mechanism: Logic. Mindful of human cowardice, he myofascializes weak forces upon amplifying waves, directing gravity through his own hands into heaps of pie cutters, spinning tops, stiff brushes, long strings, and power amplifiers, gently emboldening all who, alas, must one day perish.

Shin Chida
Tapes, synths and a contact mic buried deep inside the enfleshed animated skull of an artist. In league with cicadas, Chida (nee, Buried Machine) vanished from sight for a decade, brooding underground near Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture in Japan. But this year in a chewing apocolyptic hatch, he obliterates the Sun in shrouds of overwhelming volume moving up the Pacific coast. "Like a machine ocean" as Ruby Ray described his music. Pouring into the Peacock Lounge, comes the revelation that industrial noise innoculates against glib cultural demise. Don't be late for your lifesaving dose. Chida is also a master brewer of India Pale Lagers!

Danishta Rivero
It's no longer a question of whether you're a brain in a jar, but what qualia is the jar made of and is the brain yours alone? Danishta Rivero pokes pitch dark fun at these questions from the inside out. Using multivalent circuits and specialized contractions of the laryngopharynx, Rivero agitates rods of Corti, gypsum, superior temporal gyrus, glass, epidermis, and concrete in stochastic sympathy. If during her performance you remain unaware of any jar, continue to row row row, gently.

Seymour Glass
Known libertine, member of Glands of External Secretion [duo with Barbara Manning], foundling member of Bren't Lewiis Ensemble, publisher of the legendary Bananafish magazine and purveyor at Tedium House distro, and “a psychotic butcher with logorrhea,” grumbles Alan Bishop. The “vocal-driven, collaged compositions” move along “on the verge of collapse,” notes the Canadian BlogTO. “Errant keys chime out over the heavy breathing of taxed strings, collapsing under their own weight." Surreal murk and jarring cacophony, from live electronics to varispeed tape to accompany such stage antics as cabbage-shredding, dropped ice cream, assaults upon empty pet food cans with steak knives, and various other mad-housewife-evoking delights.
