for the uninitiated, ORTHRELM is a way beyond complex and way beyond math mind-bending free form jazz inspired guitar and drums duo with Mick Barr (of CROM-TECH & QUIX*O*TIC) and Josh Blair (of ABCS). Records out on Troubleman. people oftentimes call Mick Barr "the best guitarist EVER."

FAST FORWARD is one guy from So. California making "music that sounds like Chrome or Christian Death or The Normal meets Einsturzende Neubauten; Lo-fi electronic, pulsing noise pop." - threeoneG. They have records on Vermiform, KOTM, & threeoneG.

Aa / BIG A little a is a five piece, four percussionist choreographed noise & flashing lights & sweat & (most of the time) stationary marching band explosion. "A Brooklyn dance party for the thinking feller with primitive vocals, primitive drums and weird electronic effects" - Narnack. Record out on Narnack.

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 started showing these crazy kids spelling “ichthyology” and whatever, 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 buy Josh a beer).
