"Kent, Ohio's The Party of Helicopters brings art punk into the world of glam rock and heavy metal - If Ozzy had drunk thousands of pots of coffee all those years instead of thousands of handles of vodka, he might have created rock like this." - Epitonic. POH is x Harriet the Spy

[ EXTREME ANIMALS ]
crazed artsters making noises. the creators of an impossibly epileptic website, and settled nicely in the Paperrad constellation. noisey and difficult deciphering. I'm pretty sure they wear costumes.

[ ÜBERJERK ]
odd acoustic and keyboard death folksters from Manhattan, I think. "a noise-folk act that writes mean pop songs then covers them with keyboard sludge and guitar grease. The lack of drums makes them a little freeform for some people, but you should find it strangely cleansing, despite the surface mess. No matter what your state of mind, we promise you’ll walk out feeling melancholic and thoughtful" - NY Press
*website: http://www.weputout.com/Uberjerk/index.html
[ BLACK SPRING ]
mysterious and elusive. "Stark, dark and heavy" & "ten years in the making," so describes their website. 3 pieces, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet.

Wednesday August 25th @ FREDDY’S
:: Josh Reynolds’ SPELLING BEE ::
you see Spellbound? yeah, so did Josh. Actually here’s the story, this last May we were all watching the Kentucky Derby and drinking straight bourbon with mint and sugar in it and then, after yelling at the horsees on the teevee got finished, the sports channel suddenly started showing these crazy kids spelling “ichthyology” and what have you, in front of a crowd. So we substituted workaholic junior high school nerds for horses and re-commenced with the bets and the screaming. Alas, an interest in spelling bees was born.
Come on out and compete, it’ll be be totally awesome! Josh’s gonna be the spellmaster, costs one dollar to enter, and the winner takes the pot (less expenses and the winner has to Josh a beer).

another show of note (sorry to hijack your thread, Todd):
I'm not playing this, but a friend who's involved asked me to help spread the word, so here goes:
This installment of LiveListening is going to be very special for a few reasons . . .
ONE . . . The participation of Arizona-based sound explorationist Jeph Jerman.
TWO . . . The theatre space where we are are performing (name & address below) is simply amazing- nice comfortable seats, too.
THREE . .. This will be the last date of the first LiveListening tour (dates below- pass it on).

From the late 80's, sound-artist and improviser Jeph Jerman, here joined by guitarist David Daniell and percussionists Tim Barnes and Sean Meehan, has both quietly and loudly explored the various types of rustling, rumbling, and groaning that occur when objects are prodded with hands, or recorded, unmanipulated, in interesting locations onto cassette. Jerman is a percussionist in all senses of the word. The quiet agitations of much of his solo work contrast against the raucous free jazz he drummed in Blowhole. Jerman’s sound materials are often natural objects. On his gorgeous cd "The Second Attention" (Anomalous), he nudges small objects like sticks, stones and shells into an acoustic narrative of the dreams of things that sit in soil.
Meehan, Barnes and Daniell are well-regarded NYC based improvisers. Barnes is one of the busiest men in the NYC creative music community, having performed with John Zorn, Dean Roberts, Jim O'Rourke, Sonic Youth, Tetuzi Akiyama, and scores more. Meehan has worked a steady trajectory from a whole drumkit improviser to snare drum + cymbal and objects microvisor. He shares common ground with Jerman in a penchant for recording in the open air; his duo with saxophonist Tamio Shirashi (released as a 12" on Fusetron) was recorded under the West Side Highway. Meehan and Barnes' duo performances work like the slow-burn slapstick of Edgar Kennedy sans punchline, occasionally cresting rising and falling layers of trembling bowed cymbal, cavernous bass drum moans, and lace-trails of struck skins. David Daniell is a guitarist whose work ranges from the abstracted blues roll 'n' rock of his long standing trio San Agustin to the spare free-improv pedal steel of his duo with James Elliott. Table of the Elements released a three cd collection of San Agustin's work, and Daniell has also released a lovely solo disc of quiet manipulated field recordings, "sem" on Antiopic.
