---------------------------------------------------------------


(My personal) notes on the performers.

 Maya is an illusion but might sing for you.

 Tom Swirly (open loop, Verge, etc) plays electronic wind instrument,
sings, manipulates machines, and does various other entertaining
activities.

 Volectrix is an electronic hip-hop a cappella duo whose last show was
in Knitting Factory in 2001.

 Tristan Perich is the inventor, circuit maker, drummer and composer
behind too many musical ventures to count.  The (*) means I haven't
gotten a final confirmation yet.

 Puppies Hold Hands has Touching You (Liquid Tapedeck, Haunted Pussy,
etc) and Tom Swirly together again as an electronic rock duo for only
the second time in five years.

 Kid Lucky  is the groundbreaking beatboxer.

 Jeremy Weirdo is a musical peculiar and my longtime partner as the
Founder and Musical Director of the band Verge.

 Dan Jones is really the Welsh guitar wizard.  The Dan Jones last week
who played the small cardboard synthesizer was a fake.  We apologize
for the error.

 Bonnie Kane is the driving saxophone force behind the various W.O.O.
incarnations, World of Tomorrow, Mambo Mantis, etc.


Notes on the space:

 It's super-fantastic for the audience and performers alike.  The
performance area is in the back, comfortable, nice big stage, good PA,
we can hardly go wrong.

There's a nice bar area in the front separated by a hall from the
performance area so you can go away and chat and then come back and
watch again.

Mind the step on the way in!!
