Friday, August 22 at BCHQ, 9 p.m.:

The Debacle (aka The Scott Waite Debacle)
Cairo
The Gates of Beauty
Clawform

The Gates of Beauty is me on bass, Wendy Spitzer (Lemming Malloy, Felix
Obelix) on bass and Shannon Morrow (Scene of the Crime Rovers, Mahasamatman)
on drums and occasional keyboard. We all 'sing,' sometimes simultaneously.
We would like to think we sound something like the Ruins and the Slits
having a drunken tea party, but that might be setting the bar a little too
high.

The Debacle is a punk/prog trio headed by Seattle import Scott Waite [Rob
and Eleni of Beloved Binge have been on a mission to move their friends here
from Seattle after Beloved Binge relocated here a few years ago; they were
successful with Scott, to our benefit]. The Debacle is definitely a 'punk
rock' band, but it's got a King Crimson/Return to Forever/Mahavishnu
Orchestra vibe going on that will satisfy your hidden love of jazz fusion.
And I kinda hear a little Steely Dan in there too. How can you go wrong?

Cairo is a band containing another of Rob and Eleni's recent transplants
from Seattle. I don't know what Cairo sounds like, but I'm hoping for some
mixture of Beloved Binge and The Debacle, with a little Mudhoney and Stone
Temple Pilots thrown in for good measure. I hear Eleni might be playing
drums.

Clawform is Colin Booy's solo metal banjo project - not to be missed. And
maybe, if we're lucky, he'll wear his hot pants. In fact, I'm making a
special request.

NOTE: The order of bands is as above, with Clawform playing first, and
Gates of Beauty second. So get there early!

Some other things I'm doing:

8/15 (today): Durham Third Fridays Celebration w/Scene of the Crime Rovers
(7 pm) - Scrap Exchange.
8/17: Cy Rawls Benefit Show: Fin Fang Foom, Double Negative, Polvo,
Cantwell Gomez and Jordan, and Magic Babies (7:30 pm) - Cat's Cradle.
8/23: Maple Stave CD Release Show w/Cantwell Gomez and Jordan and Red
Collar - BCHQ.
8/28: Monsonia CD Release Show w/Cantwell Gomez and Jordan and The
Grappling Hook - Slim's.
8/29: Paperhand Puppet Intervention w/Scene of the Crime Rovers - Forest
Theatre, UNC Campus.
8/30: Paperhand Puppet Intervention w/Triangle Soundpainting Orchestra -
Forest Theatre, UNC Campus.

If you've gotten this far, thanks for reading!

See you soon,
Anne
