ps - I'm looking for volunteers & for an intern – If you're interested, write me at the address above. Volunteers would be making flyers, handing them out, maybe working the door, helping set up; intern would be doing data entry, reading email, helping day-to-day whatever. Free show entry forever if you sign up & follow through with either.

[ OCTIS ]
Mick Barr is the guitarist from Orthrelm and plays bass in Quix*o*tic. Mick was in Chrom-Tech too. "OCTIS is Mick Barr from ORTHRELM's solo endeavor. Mick has been called one of the greatest guitarists in the underground, if not world/universe. This particular release finds Mick playing solo over programmed drum machine blast beats. The results are simply incredible. A total of 12 bursts of power. Is it thrash? Is it jazz? Is it metal? Is it "avant"? Who cares? What we DO know is that this shit is the future." – Tonevendor. Single out on Troubleman Unlimited.

[ PAUL FLAHERTY / CHRIS CORSANO DUO ]
"Saxophonist Paul Flaherty and drummer Chris Corsano are New England-based musicians dedicated to the promise and purpose of free improvisation. Paul has released numerous recordings since the late 70's, while Chris is a relative newcomer. For the past 5 years, the two have operated together in duo format as well as in collaborations with some of the finest freedom thinkers around such as Nmperign's Greg Kelly, Thurston Moore and Jim O'Rourke of Sonic Youth, Matt Heyner of Test and the No Neck Blues Band, Daniel Carter, Christina Carter and Heather Murray of Charalambides/Scorces, Wally Shoup, and Steve Swell. Together, Flaherty & Corsano seek to champion the cause of total free improvisation, an often misunderstood, underestimated, and sometimes even hated artform." – Hated Music. Matt Heyner of the No-Neck Blues Band *may* be making the duo a trio for this performance.

[ ZEKE HEALY ]
Zeke also plays in the Boggs. An astoundingly great guitar player, bluegrass like songs played super fast with a lot of soul and - right there under all the finger-picking - a great ear for melodies. With touches of noise experimentalism, John Fahey moments.
