MONDAY 2.11.08 :::

in order from first to last::

TULI
Aaron Hibbs of SWORD HEAVEN's variety hour : TWINK
BULLY/HUGS+KISSES/RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE
BOYZONE
CHILDBRIDE

TULI = XYC DJ Jon Page's solo cloud jams
WINK BULLY / HUGS + KISSES / RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE = an eclectic 40
minute program with Aaron Hibbs from Ohio's SWORD HEAVEN(!!!), who are
probably my first or second or third favorite live act ever. TWINK
BULLY is wallnoise free-rock, HUGS + KISSES is "dark topic, doo-wop
sketch comedy"(!), and last but not least is RATC, which Aaron
describes as being "...the most profound band I have ever taken part
in...  A Capella Grunge!  The subject line are some lyrics from a song
called 'The World is a Vampire Cage."  You can see a couple of clips
on YouTube. Song lyrics have no nouns and no meaning.  Bleak". If
you're me you don't want to miss the one-two back-to-back of this mess
+ Jon Page, then ...
CHILD BRIDE <<< Solo-ish deal of Shana, who was a member of the
excellent physically enveloping (they play in a huge tent that covers
the entire strobe-struck audience) Massachusetts free hippie ecstatic
improv band DREAMHOUSE, with some face-paint and eerie low-key
atmosphere and theatrics (the latter if we are lucky). It reminds me
some of the campfire industrial of Avarus or the sparse prettiness of
Kuupuu, the good parts! myspace.com/thechildbride

Show starts at 10ish after trivia, short sets, bring dollars.
