Whooh!

     We have had a whirlwind of activity at the Nightlight these days.. We
are sad to say goodbye to this year's incarnation of Sunsations (the outer
banks beach scene) at Nightlight.. We do have a NEW art show opening this
Friday with local artist, Peter Pendergrass showcasing his recent art with
DJ's Steph Russ, Breniecia Reuben and Ben Pittard to get the party started!

    Also, starting tomorrow, *WEDNESDAY, September 1st,* Nightlight will be
open Monday through Saturday starting at* 5pm.* . Join us for the opening
party tomorrow with an open Old-time Jam (either to play or listen),  which
will now be the *1st Wednesday of every month.*

   We will be serving coffee from the Carrboro Coffee Company (local
roasterie at Open Eye) in addition to our selection of local beer and wine.
Nightlight now accommodates casual and professional meetings, offers free
WI-FI internet access, an outdoor smoking patio, ping pong gaming and a free
lending library.

If things go as planned, we will continue to expand into a day-time cafe
serving food!

fingers crossed.

Thanks again for supporting the Nightlight. Hope to see you soon! Spread the
Word!

*Khristian Weeks / Sooty Foots / Tonos / The Fox Sister / Conspicous
Convulsion (new improv group ofJason 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.

*Fri 09/03** ART SHOW RECEPTION AND PARTY with local artist, Peter
Pendergrass: 6pm onward: FREE*

Oakland, California, continued work with the Performance Collective in
Chapel Hill, and new releases on his d.i.y. label for local experimental

*Tues 09/07 Skylar Gudasz and the Ugly
Girls<http://www.myspace.com/skylargudasz>/ Arlo
and the Otter <http://www.myspace.com/arloandtheotter> (folk/punk rock) / *

*Supreme Fiction : 9:30 PM :$5 *

Tonight ex-Harmute keyboardist Skylar Gudasz comes out front for beautiful
songs with the Ugly Girls and their smart piano-pop. Columbus, OH!O's Arlo &
the Otter is a fourtet of southwestern troubadours traveling between snotty
acousti-punk scorchers and whirling peyote dirges. Supreme Fiction open up
the night!

*Wed 09/08 The Toddlers <http://www.myspace.com/thetoddlersmusic> / Sin
Ropas <http://www.myspace.com/sinropas> / Father Murphy
(Italy)<http://www.myspace.com/reverendmurphy>/ Kellie Ann Grubbs
:9:30 PM $5
*

The Toddlers return to the NL with their travel-stained
country'n'blues-flavored ruminations delivered in Nathan's Chris Isaak
croon. Last time we sd: "Those of you looking for a gentle easing into the
world of noise should come out tonight to hear Sin Ropas, the long-running
experimental/post"alt-" country duo of Tim Hurley and Danni Iosello,
veterans of Chicago's excellent Red Red Meat and Califone. Now living in the
828, Sin Ropas will bring Waitsean dirges, feedback, and enough electronics
to please the 919ers." Still apt. On tour with Sin Ropas is the
awe-inspiring Italian guitar/organ/drums trio Father Murphy. There are
enough bouncy high-pitched bubblers in their repertoire to warrant
comparisons to future tourmates Deerhoof, but the tunes that get me the most
are the hypnotic organ droners that bring back memories of Religious Knives,
some Current 93 stuff, maybe a nod to several PSF bands. Whatever, come
early and see them.

*Thurs 09/09 Dark Water Rising <http://www.myspace.com/charlylowry>/ Lizzy
Ross <http://www.myspace.com/lizzyrossmusic> / Aden Darity of Language Arts*

*: 9:30 PM : $5 *

"Dark Water Rising" album available online: www.cdbaby.com

Robeson Co. soul-rock sextet Dark Water Rising gathers around the master
voice of Charly Lowry and the floating Staples-style three-part harmonies
created with Ciera Dial and Brittany Jacobs. Local folk-country songbird
Lizzy Ross opens.

*Fri 09/10 ** D-Town Brass <http://www.reverbnation.com/dtownbrass> (Durham)
/ JazzHandzz <http://www.myspace.com/jazzhandzz> (Brooklyn) / The Hem of His
Garment <http://www.myspace.com/thehemofhisgarment> - $5 *

* *Though its name conjures images of the Bull City and the brass krewes of
New Orleans, the D-Town Brass brings a wink-eyed big-band soul bossa nova
lounge shuffle shake squall reminiscent of some of the large ensembles
working in Chicago today. Running in the same pranksterish spazz-jazz
circles as our favorites Talibam! and Peeesseye, JazzHandzz is a trio of
Andres Marino, David Moss, and Nick Lesley tackling freedom a la early Sun
City, NNCK, etc. but with a definite jazz mindset. Local drone experimenters
The Hem of His Garment will heal you with just a touch.

*

* 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
of Southeastern Electronics Music Festival - 9PM : $10 *

Rapoon (Robin Storey, ex Zoviet France member, Newcastle, UK) / Illusion of
Safety (Dan Burke, Chicago)
Ethan Clauset / Steve Burnett / Khristian Weeks / Bicameral Mind

*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 Asimina 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.
