Year's Men <http://www.myspace.com/lastyearsmenband> / Pointless
Forest<http://www.myspace.com/thepointlessforestnc>-
*

*9:30 PM $6*

Ben Davis and company return to the NL with their punchy guitar anthems and
Andy's irresistible beat. Philadelphia's ambient post-gazers Controlled
Storms live up to their name, creating restrained bursts of musical
narratives that would make Angelo Badalamenti proud. Local garage
wunderkinds Last Year's Men and gaze-gazers Pointless Forest open.

*Sat 08/28** Flesh Epic <http://www.myspace.com/fleshepic> (members of
Future Islands) / Lord Scrummage <http://www.myspace.com/lennystoofy> /
Rapdragons <http://www.myspace.com/rapdragons> - DANCE PARTY! *


*You remember the Art Lord days? Back before Future Islands, Sam would be
surrounded by inanimate band mates and would scream with such Lord fervor
that the juxtaposition moggled binds and cut audiences free? Now Sam and his
bro have at it with their long-running collaboration as hip-hop underlords
Flesh Epic, rapping over gritty beats culled from a record collection
spanning chamber music, Ethiopiques, smoky jazz, and enough break beats to
keep your head nodding. Detroit's Lord Scrummage have decades of Motor City
techno history to live up to, but temper their leanings with electro
semi-sweetcore and enough neo-kosmische synth to interest Wire readers.
Lo-fi pop-culture gluttons Rapdragons hail from the Charm City and rap about
shit like girls over beats that grab some great samples like the Reading
Rainbow theme. Call me David Keenan, I'll call it hypna-hop. Dance jams to
follow so bring your shoes.*

*Tues 08/31** Binary Marketing

NY space-glitch new weirders Binary Marketing Show stop by the Nightlight on
their southern tour, working their psyched rhythmic take on American
songform with rolling keys, synth stabs, Balkan brass, and sampled drums.
Local prog/fusion trio Cracker Creeptacular and Alcazar Hotel side-project
Deluxe Handcuffs open.

*Khristian Weeks / Sooty Foots / Tonos / The Fox Sister / Conspicous
Convulsion (new improv group of* Jason Alyward (Valient Thorr), Crowmeat Bob
and Drew Roberston)

*9:30 PM $5 *

We're nigh-on ecstatic to see the 919 ers have wrangled the venerable Mr.
Weeks, Durham sound artist and break-out star of WXYC's Locally Produced
Digital Music Showcase (seriously, go to www.wxyc.org/showcase/ and listen
to "Perfect" and see if you don't get a li'l moist around the eyes when you
hear the electronic approximation of a slowly-melting brass gamelan ascend
through your consciousness while a toddler recites Whitman. Perfect.).
Huntersville hissy cassette tape hero Sooty Foots gets weird and wild, doing
Inspector 22-style oddball folk that passes into Hasil Adkins thrash. Local
guitar tone texturist Tonos and Morehead City dark ambient/drone artist the
Fox Sister open.

TALK<http://nightmovesblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/talk-august-promo-mix.html>/
DJ One Duran (WXYC & 1200 Problems ) / DJ Steph Russ (WXYC DJ)

Serious bass pressure at Nightlight to kick off the weekend portion of this
year's Signalfest. We're pleased to present the following lineup, with
headliners from the mighty Nightshifters label:

Jubilee [Brooklyn, NY]: When she’s not ‘regularly whipping dance floors into
a frenzy with her rambunctious combination of bass-heavy electro, upfront
house, UK funky, and tropical flavor’ (XLR8R), Jubilee is Publicity Director
of the N...ightshifters label with Jason Forrest (aka DJ Donna Summer).
Jubilee holds down a monthly residence at the infamous ‘Flashing Lights'
parties at 88 Palace in NYC, with fellow residents DJ Ayres (The Rub) and
Nick Catchdubs (Fools Gold Records). Jubilee has spread her sparks across
the globe in far away lands such as Bucharest, Berlin, London and Reykvavik.
In New York, she has played along side heavy hitters like Drop The Lime, The
Juan Maclean, Simian Mobile Disco, Digitalism, Jokers of the Scene and Green
Velvet.

Talk 
<http://www.nightlightclub.com/%20http://www.myspace.com/ttttalk>[Atlanta,
GA]: One of the newest additions to the Nightshifters label, Talk
helps hold down the Night Moves monthly in Atlanta. His debut EP "Holy
Mountain" will be out in October, and you can expect he'll be ready to
present it to Signal in a fine fashion.

*Sat 09/25** Signal Fest <http://www.signalfest.com/Home> - Second Evening

Safety (Dan Burke, Chicago)

*Mon 09/27* Spider Bags <http://www.myspace.com/spiderbags> / Strapping
Field Hands <http://www.myspace.com/strappingfieldhands> (Philadelphia) -
9:30 PM $5

O.G. Siltbreeze lo-fi rockers Strapping Fieldhands recently got the
justly-deserved reissue treatment of their first LP and are now rolling
through the Nightlight. Right as rain blooz-garage locals Spider Bags
headline. Don't sleep on this one-- Monday night, it'll start early

*Tues 09/28* Solo Performance by Asemina
Chremos<http://asiminachremos.com/>(Dance ARTIST)

*lightspace* is a 45-minute solo dance by Asimina Chremos. Think: Perceptual
artist James Turrell attends a Japanese tea ceremony and the host ends up
serving an unknown form of extraterrestrial, aquatic tai chi. The
site-sensitive dance takes into account the character of the performance
area, in this case, the interior of the Nightlight club. A resident of
Chicago for the last decade or so, Chremos recently made Durham her home
base.

Calling all North Carolina anarchists, autonomists, and anti-authoritarians!
Are you part of a radical bookshop, community organizing group, or
publishing project? You should reserve a table! Are you a book lover,
activist, firebrand, or just plain curious? Come check out what other people
in North Carolina are doing and thinking!

Email carrborobookfair AT gmail.com to reserve a table, volunteer, or suggest
activities. The deadline for reserving tables is November 1; we are asking
groups to pay a small tabling fee, but it’s important to us that tabling be
accessible to groups that do not expect to make any money.
