Normal Love

Tonight July 27th @ the People's Pint Greenfield, MA
Show is free, all ages and starts at ten o 'clock


“Philly’s best metal band is also its best avant-garde classical ensemble. Or possibly it’s the other way around. Unlike symphonic metal bands that simply layer cheesy strings over bombastic rock songs, Normal Love writes intricate and difficult instrumental pieces inspired by modernist classical composers, and then play them with death-metal ferocity. The result is music that succeeds at being alternately brutal and beautiful, sometimes both at the same time. By totally shredding and shredding clichés, Normal Love is proving that prog doesn’t have to be a four letter word.” –Billboard.com

Blues Control
http://www.myspace.com/bluescontrol

“Comprised of Russ Waterhouse (guitar, electronics) and Lea Cho (keyboards), Queens-based noise rock duo Blues Control established themselves as an enthralling live act and, following a series of limited-edition releases on cassette and vinyl, made their official CD debut in 2007 with a self-titled album on Holy Mountain. ” — Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

“Blues Control might just be the missing link between Van Halen and legendary experimentalist Henry Flynt. They are a duo. Lea Cho plays swank but grounded atmospheric keyboard parts (think Harold Budd), through which guitar player and manipulator of assorted junk-on-table Russ Waterhouse cuts, whittles and lays to waste. It’s a hazy, spaced world that exists between fuzzed distortion, jabbering electronics, and a lazy, stay-in-bed psychedelic glaze, with rhythmic keyboards pulsating below it all a la a guy named Florian— and you can choose which one you want. Oh yeah, I gotta mention the humid bikini-vibe that permeates the entire album.” — ?

Kurt Vile & the Violators
http://www.myspace.com/kurtvileofphilly

“Insound Staff Pick - 2009! Kurt Vile is the nom de plume of Philadelphian Kurt Vile (!) whose shimmering home recordings reflect the artist’s admiration of everything from delta blues to the minimalist aggro of Suicide, the downer psyche of 39 Clocks as well as the skiffle hum of Strapping Fieldhands. In other words, a real globe trotter. Kurt has shared bills…as well as wiped the floor…with the likes of Blues Control, Pink Reason, Clock Cleaner, Times New Viking, Magik Markers, to name a few. Lend him your ears.” -Tom Lax, Siltbreeze

Greatest Living Songwriter

Art closing party for Stephen Cahill featuring the music of Drag City recording artist Bryan Gillig, aka Phantom Fairlane, aka Corvallis Chehalis. "Bryan is without a doubt the greatest living songwriter of this or any dimension" - ??? Often times masked by his surly attitude or drunken demeanor, Mr. Gillig's song craft is a wonder to behold. Sometimes untethered, sometimes earthbound and always straight from the heart, Gillig will beat the shit out of anyone who claims to be a relevant singer-songwriter. Accompanied by L.D.G. of the Tom Jones Memorial Memorial.
