* Monday June 19th . CRANK STURGEON, Brian Ruryk, 
   Charles Balls and the Cincinatti Single-File and Jacob Horwood.
   CRANK STURGEON's interests as of late are removing most if 
   not all of his clothing, fastening a cardboard or plastic sturgeon 
   headdress to himself (with various outgrowths of tubing and 
   springs that may or may not serve a purpose) and manufacturing 
   zany bouts of aural dislocation out of a series of cheap electronics 
   and homemade gadgetry props.    
   BRIAN RURYK is an ex-folley editor taking risks with his 
   neighbourhood recycling! 23 Fanta bottles, 14 ravioli & artichoke 
   cans and 156 pieces of shelving & office discard succumb to 
   natural forces (ie. gravity, deflection and acoustic genocide) all set 
   to "bluegrass" guitar playing and slippery tape stop and start. 
   since his recent return to live performance the Tide company have 
   issued caution that their containers, once emptied, are to be
   recycled - not used as footballs or other outlets of leisure...  
   CHARLES BALLS AND THE CINCINATTI SINGLE-FILE is 
   andrew of gfreflex (sampler, slide whistle, mixer), michelangelo of 
   odradek (clarinet) and zoe of master (reed) playing to a 
   prerecorded reel. expect the evocation of archie shepp 
   accumulating on the saran of concrete bemusement. Jacob 
   Horwood aka Fudge Whoregagger plays in gfreflex as well and  
   likes to use reel to reel, modified electronics and sampler. second 
   solo performance offers to be the awkward moisture you so often 
   seep in the seat of your denim dreams. excessive body-odour 
   makes its appearance as fidgety psedo-collage fiesta!
   9pm . Neutral (349-A College Street, entrance off of Augusta) . $5
