Vio/Mire, Centella, and Diego Perez
Thursday, September 9, 2010: 9:30pm
Centella is a member of extinct Sibyl Vane, ripped a solo project with a fast and fierce as lightning in the middle of the night. Back to more basic rock and alone with his sharp guitar, Centella are short songs. Concise and direct, inspired by scavengers or more agressive nature. Accompanied by a drum and a maraca as travelling companions. "Diego Perez invokes a world of terror and hatred. His music is the lynch pin of the Providence underground folk and intellectual scene. Since his first pan-national release entitled '(How I Fell In Love With An) Orca Whale' he has sold numerous pieces of merchandise and made many women sad... Many agree the byzantine imagery manifested in Perez's haunted musings hearken to a time gone by. The lilting meanderings of this modern day Orpheus stand in stark contrast to the relentlessly triadic progressions and unerring chromaticism of his contemporaries." - JPAF of the hip zine "The Fertile Croissant" Vio/Mire is ambient folk music. Extended major chords!

Tor Johnson Presents: Zann, Gods & Queens, and more TBA
Wednesday, September 8, 2010: 9 pm
Zann formed in late 1999 as a four piece. After some shows John joined on second guitar. Since then there were no line-up changes. Over the years we're lucky enough to play lots of shows, doing some tours in Europe, some in the U.S. and some in Japan, put out some records on vinyl, which have been re-released on CD by GeekScene and PerKoro records. Our full-length came out on Vendetta Records in the summer of 2006. The spilt-12" with Burial Year (R.I.P.) followed in 2008. Out for some time now is the four-way-split-12" with Perth Express, Ghostlimb and Trainwreck. Upcoming endeavors: Another tour DVD, but not sure when we'll get this one done. And there will be a 7" out on Protagonist Records (www.protagonistmusic.com) to celebrate our 10th anniversary in winter. Wanna come to the party?

DENIMVENOM, Rangda, Alec K Redfearn & the Eyesores, and Cool Reason
Wednesday, September 1, 2010: 9 pm
Rangda: when witch-gods collide, it might sound something like this. Rangda is Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) meeting (Sir) Richard Bishop meeting Chris Corsano in a guitar-guitar-drums mind-melt for the ages. (Members of SUN CITY GIRLS!)  Alec K Redfearn and the Eyesores: "...constructed from a diverse and unfashionable set of instruments, Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores are as bizarre as they appealing. This is wonderful stuff -- brave and experimental, yet warmly human. Make room on your folk revival shelf for something that may be influenced by folk, but is in no way a revival." - Splended   DENIMVENOM brings the best metal party EVER. Cool Reason: christopher forgues, sakiko, robert pickle, alley, and emily
