Byron Coley has been writing music criticism since the early 1980s, a direct descendant of Lester Bangs, Richard Meltzer and Nick Tosches. Preternaturally ³underground² he has been responsible for expanding minds with discourse on the most arcane of rock n roll sides, as well as being a co-editor of Forced Exposure magazine in it¹s post-hardcore phase of unrivaled significance. He currently resides in the wilds of Western Massachusetts and, while not tending to the labors of maintaining Feeding Tube, one of the USA's great remaining record stores, he files the celebrated 'Size Matters' column in The Wire focusing on describing documents challenging any semblance of categorization. This evening he will read the poems and observations of cosmo-earth poet musician-angel Sun Ra in collaboration with the junk electronics of Savage Pencil aka Sav X (earthbound name: Edwin Pouncey) who we all know from his writing and illos for The Wire and a long history in the UK underground as a messenger of otherness art and black realm investigation.

Sharon Gal came to our attention as a member of the legendary Mouthcrazy project, which released a mystical recording on Byron Coley and Thurston Moore¹s LP imprimatur Ecstatic Yod way back in the 1990s. She is a UK experimental composer and improviser involved with London¹s Resonance 104.4 FM scene and has collaborated with the likes of Alex Ward, Steve Beresford, Steve Noble as well as producing radio shows such as the acclaimed DIGGERS with Sav X. Sharon will duo with Andie Brown, ex-bassist of Cindytalk before developing her These Feathers Have Plumes project in 2007. Creating sonic landscapes using traditional and non-traditional instrumentation (primarily double bass and glass), found-sound and field recordings, Andie has performed live both solo and in group shows and has had work released in the UK and USA.

Thurston Moore, founder of Sonic Youth, first met Dylan Nyoukis after purchasing the first release by Sebadoh (Lou Barlow's post-Dinosaur Jr solo vent) which was released on UK label Chocolate Monk (which Dylan was proprietor of). A former heavy metal kid, Dylan found God in the guise of confused noise expression and has subsequently released thousands of hours of beyond-all-margins experimental sound puke on Chocolate Monk, as well as his own investigations into improvisatory nightmare beauty. The two gentleman became fast friends and Dylan's "bands" Prick Decay, Decaer Pinga, et al have performed alongside Sonic Youth many times to the utmost horror of indie-rock purists. They have spoken many times of duo-ing together with Dylan's vocal sput and Thurston's guitar skuzz and tonight will be THAT moment.

Appearing also this evening, as part of Byron and Sav X's meeting will be Josh Burkett, the golden boy of hidden within plain sight folk psyche no-questions-asked guitar vocal imaginings coming straight outta the freak-folked Western Massachusetts ether. Bring mittens.
