Mudd Fest II
¨SKAET or DIE!¨
a benefit for the Turners Falls Skate Park
This Friday, April 24th
@ the Brickhouse
24 3rd st Turners Falls
this is an early show 7-9ish
Move to Turners Falls!
Danny Cruz of Flaming Dragons of Middle Earth put this show together as a benefit for the troubled Turners Falls skate park. ¨SKAET OR DIE¨. Flaming Dragons will be performing all their Mayan hits as well as the apocalypse.
O.F.C. is the punk band of Turners Falls they live in a ramshackle house behind the dumpsters behind the grocery store. I saw one of the most awesome shows ever there, featuring next band:
Big Kids from Brattleboro VT, which is pretty cool like Turners Falls. Almost as cool...cooler. This is like female cats who are rasty and also male cats who are playing instruments to soothe the cats who are girls, but they can´t be soothed. (the super cool Abby Banks is one of those cats).
Heat Wilson is not from Turners Falls, though they want to be. They are not basketball men, but would rather piano or poetry. Also there is music very good.
The event will be MCed by Greg & Ted
Danny says ¨If you haven´t seen these bands don´t miss this opportunity for some of the amazing bands in rock and bring some money or just love and give it to the skate park cause the bands get jack and have a good time and it´s all ages too, so you should totally come and then do something else after if you want, cause it won´t be too late.

Bookmill Shows
Eugene Chadbourne
@ the Montague Bookmill
Thursday April Sixteenth
Eight Dollars, Eight O´Clock
Since recording his first record in 1976, Eugene Chadbourne has oscillated determinedly between the worlds of free improvisation, modern composition and the broad tapestry of American popular music that wall-papers his musical imagination. Initially inspired by rock n roll guitarists, Chadbourne quickly outgrew the limitations of the form, and instead chose to refuse the sorts of idiomatic constraints that tend to place an artist into a cul de sac of easy categorization. Collectively, Chadbourne's discography is an orgy of compulsive improvisation, serial collaboration, pranksterish humor, radical critique, psychedelic overkill and loving homage to the same set of musical edifices that he's spent more than thirty years demolishing. These are characteristics equally applicable to his live performances undertaken on guitar, banjo and a number of electrified household and/or stringed implements. Even at his most demented Chadbourne has never been less than relevant, and more often than not these musical detonations provide perfect counterpoint to his relentless critique of a world gone Mad.
Mudboy, AREA C, Paper, Dark Inside the Sun
@ The Montague Bookmill
Friday April Seventeenth
Eight Dollars, Eight O´Clock
"Erik Carlson is a composer, media artist and architect based in Providence, RI. His work examines sound as an evocative presence, often acting as a marker, in the physical and mental spaces we inhabit. Since 2002 he has been recording and performing under the name AREA C, whose compositions work with timbre, texture and live loops, exploring cyclical relationships and the details of their decay over time. Improvisation plays an important part in both recordings and live performances, encompassing extended explorations of minimal rhythm and melody, drawing on remnants of other times and places, outdated and untested technologies, signals sent out but never received."
"Paper is Aaron and Adrienne Snow, who create music inspired by drone music, tryps, and repetition, mixed with a bit of spacey poppy crud. Adrienne and Aaron have played in bands such as Landing, Surface of Eceyon, White Rainbow, and Dragon. Paper is a new project influence by the likes of Harmonia, Neu!, Cluster, Harold Budd, Eno, and many others."
"Mudboy, Doctor of experimental organomics. Lives in Providence RI. still :Home built keyboards, circuits brain mush. Dark Dub- Doom Dub Home made recordings at freematterfortheblind a label run by selfsame."
"Mashing soft, eerie songwriting against cathartic drum attacks and agit-prop crowd bantering, Dark Inside the Sun is as much a performance art concept as a band. Everything here is live; there can be no Dark Inside the Sun Studio album. So much of the album depends on Gigante’s conviction. Otherwise, his onstage antics—calling out Civil War Generals, half-mocking semi-philosophical slur poetics, feedback fuckery as intentional audience irritant/attention-getter—would fall flat. Luckily, Gigante does not lack conviction."
