RYAN JEWELL
NOUMENA
RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE
JOHNNY NEBULA
ANDREA STROUD

Ryan Jewell live is one of the best things I've seen in the past year,
extremely entertaining wild free jazz / noise SKILLFULLY shaken from aerosol
cans, a few drum pieces, strings. The wringing of sounds is like a magic
act- He's played with Spencer Yeh, Jandek, Wasteland Jazz Unit, Bhob Rainey,
Greg Kelly, Psych Horseshit, on and on. Solo LP upcoming this year on Hot
Releases, bam.  www.myspace.com/ryanxing

NOUMENA = Aaron Hibbs of Sword Heaven's deeply physical and transcendental
performance piece. Stylus magazine describes it as including 'blood/nudity'.
Videos on the internet suggest that he will be struggling against trash,
metal, balloons, and himself in a weirdly touching display of humanity and
grace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHWsat3vpzM

RAGE AGAINST THE CAGE is Hibb's catchy acapella grunge band, really bleak,
no nouns and no meaning, just mouths and hair and oh whoa hey yeah uh huh
slow off
