Rumba Psicodelica! returns on Monday, October 26th to Hampshire College, this time presenting 21st century funk heroes Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada, out of Austin TX/Brooklyn NY.
Ocote play a "danceable, but spaced-out mix of afrobeat, afro-Cuban, cumbia, dub, soundtrack, and heavy doses of FUNK and SOUL with a bit of demented salsa and acid guitar thrown in for good measure"--(Pablo Yglesias).
Ocote feature Martín Perna and Adrian Quesada, and are surrounded by hand-picked talent on their excellent recordings and in the live show. Martín is a founding member of afrobeat collective Antibalas, as well as a number of other musical, artistic and community projects. Click here for his blog and here for his mix of Afro-Nicaraguan sounds. Adrian is a major force in contemporary music with his bands Grupo Fantasma and Brownout (new album out now!). Together as Ocote Soul Sounds & Adrian Quesada, they have three amazing albums out, including the new one, "Coconut Rock", available on ESL Music.
Ocote are on the "Coconut Rock" tour and will stop in to Hampshire College's Recital Hall in the Music & Dance Building on Monday October 26th. Rumba Psicodelica! will set the vibe with DJs Andujar and Bongohead, with projections by Bell & Howl. It's free for all, students and general public. The fun begins at 730pm. For more info: bombasticos@yahoo.com

Barn Owl
Layne Garrett
Belltonesuicide
Grey Matter Books
47 East St., Hadley
Thursday Nov.5 - 8pm
5$ suggested donation
Details about the performers:
"Who is Barn Owl? Barn Owl is a trio of noodlin' doods - namely, Chris Cooper on prepared guitar/electronics, Andy Crespo on super-farty-squeeky bass, and Matt Weston (a chicago transplant!) percussion/electronics. They make good squiggly crakle raking improv noises - Crank Satori put out their 3" CD - and, finally, i think they're gettin' the credit they deserve, i mean, they've been around a while, and it seemed nobody gave a fuck. i was gonna rant here, but i think this'll suffice - let's just remember, 'Barn Owl = good.'" (-Neil Youg interview with Blastitude)
http://www.barnowlrocks.com/
Layne Garrett works with found objects, found sounds, guitars, and self-built instruments. Recorded output ranges from assemblage-drenched americana to a new cd of improvisations on guitar and prepared guitar; a disc of improvised duos (with Scott Allison, Christian Brady, Ryan Jewell, Janel Leppin, Sam Lohman, Anthony Pirog, and Jenny Tucker) is on the way shortly on Sockets Records. Solo performances have lately hovered in the heady realm of improvised explorations on buzzed-out prepared resonator guitar and homemade light-sensitive electronics. Other recent activities include: organizing a large-scale tape-loop intervention in Rock Creek Park (Washington DC), hosting shows at the Lighthouse in DC, and completing several construction projects, including a version of Glenn Branca's harmonics guitar, a set of hanging car-metal gongs in the shape of a map of the USA, and a large freestanding playable structure about which a collaborator said: "man i would really love to play that big baby for 12 hours straight it is obviously a meditation key."
http://www.questionthetruth.com/noise/asdf.html
Formed in 1998 as GAT-384. Released two tapes and did 3 or four shows before changing the name to Belltonesuicide officially in summer 1999. In 2000 recorded at Larry's Bar & Grill, in Branford, CT with Gerard Gerard. Most of those recordings came out on a cassette released by Crucial Blast in 2001. Around that time, I released a split/collaboration CDR with Abortus Fever and another CDR called "Fight For Silence." 2002 was when I met the Breaking World Records folks, and talked them into releasing "Shastokovitch is The Devil" in 2003. In 2003 played a bunch of shows around the area, and one in Kentucky. First tour=failed. In 2004 and 2005, kept gigging up and down the Pioneer Valley. Put out a bunch of CDRs and one tape. Was very bad at networking. Mostly due to college and not having money. In 2006, I put out 4 CDRs to start off the year, then just gigged once a month or so, usually in Bridgeport at NEST. In 2007, got serious again once I started having more money and time since I wasn't taking classes. Go hooked up with The Ear The Eye The Arm (old friends from the Old Store/Flywheel days) who offered to take Brett and I on a three hour, I mean week, tour. And that is how we landed on Gilligan's Island.

$10 door
From Amsterdam: Composer/lute player Jozef Van Wissem is renowned for his unusual approach of the renaissance and baroque lute. He cuts and pastes classical pieces, reverses melodies, adds electronics and processed field recordings made at airport lounges and train stations. The unusual wedlock of composition and improvisation creates an unheard amalgam of contemporary folk and late renaissance music. He has accomplished the strange feat of bridging the idiom of seventeenth century lute literature and twenty-first century composition. http://www.myspace.com/vanwissem
The night also features the combination of Cheyenne Brown's exuberant and sensitive harp playing, Seylan Baxter's mellow, natural singing and her creatively atmospheric cello playing forms rich and varied musical textures with a distinctive style. Whether in slow airs, jigs and reels or traditional songs Cheyenne and Seylan bring precision and empathy to their quirky, innovative arrangements. Their energetic performances and warm stage presence dispel any stereotypes of stuffy instrumentalists and prove the effectiveness of this unusual line-up.

Talk Normal show, Oct. 28th
WMHC, (The radio station at Mount Holyoke College) presents:
The Vincent Price Concert Series Halloween Show
Wednesday, October 28th
New York Room, Chapin Hall, Mount Holyoke College
8 P.M., FREE
Start off your Halloween early with a show at Mt Holyoke College, featuring the bands TALK NORMAL, ERIC HNATOW, WHOARFROST and THE NOVELS. A line-up this diverse means there’s something for everyone! Don’t waste the scariest time of the year by sitting at home, come out and see the show. FREE!
Talk Normal: This duo from Brooklyn, NY pick up where no wave music left off. They are not just an imitation of Lydia Lunch, though; these ladies push the envelope. A simple drums and guitar set-up packs a heavy, edgy punch for a dark, hard-hitting show.
Eric Hnatow: Local legend and serious contender for the hardest working man in show business title, Eric Hnatow plays some seriously fun experimental electronic pop. There are strong influences on his sound from the likes of Dan Deacon and his Baltimore ilk, but Hnatow makes the sound all his own. It’s impossible to stand still when he takes the stage.
The Novels: Hailing from Northampton, The Novels are a more traditional rock band, but don’t think traditional means boring. Taking cues from The Kinks and incorporating plenty of solid melodies and handclaps, The Novels are the perfect pop edition to the show’s line-up
Whoarfrost: Whoarfrost combines elements of free jazz and psychedelia with hints of dub, jam band and experimental sounds and angry lyrics thrown in. Although that list is an ambitious combination of genres and styles, the dudes of Whoarfrost pull it off.

Kurt Vile, Flora and Fauna, Duchampion
Friday October 9th
Middletown, CT
Wesleyan University, Eclectic Hall
10pm FREE
KURT VILE
Colossally psychadelic. Monumentally hypnotic. Lots of hair. Matador
Records' Kurt Vile serves up tripped out bedroom pop jams that make
you feel like you're on drugs, even if you're not in real life!
FLORA AND FAUNA
While eating a box of Trix, old friends Matt Bernstein '11, Adam
Gunther '11, and Casey Baird found three green rings that miraculously
fit together and immediately knew they had to get their Big Star-ish,
Radiohead-esque, Television-ness out to the masses. A Wesleyan staple.
Duchampion
"Duchampion was formed in Fall 2009 at Wesleyan. It is composed of Ben
Seretan, Jake Nussbaum, Will Brant, and Asa Horvitz ('10), people who
you may have heard in other bands at other times. Duchampion loves
Fugazi and Arthur Russell and hopes you come see them play."
