8:30 – BERARDI/LIEBIG duo
Improvised textures, rhythms and atmospheres for bass, drums and a steaming pile of electronics from these two local magicians.
history is littered with the corpses of unrequited genius™

9:30 – HELENE RENAUT – Video Release – w/ Adam Stafford (guitar) and Gregory Desgouttes (percussion)

‘Imagine Syd Barrett and Françoise Hardy having a musical baby’ – West Coast Folk’s best kept secret, Hélène Renaut’s French psych-folk explores that improbable territory where Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake, and 60s girl groups would be having a party while Brahms is conducting a quartet in the other room. “Renaut’s voice is more unique and bewitching than her contemporaries or influences.” (Eric Shea)

10:30 – GREX – Karl A.D. Evangelsta-guitar, vox, M. Rei Scampvia Evangelista-keys, vox, Robert Lopez-drums

Grex has been called “essential current-and-future listening” (Tiny Mix Tapes) and “true genre-warping music” (KFJC). Grex is not just “eclectic”–it synthesizes all of its influences into a brand of “art rock” that is truly unique. The band’s fun, endlessly surprising sound draws from psychedelic pop/rock (Jimi Hendrix, Cream), alternative rock (Sonic Youth, The Pixies), and modern jazz (Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane).
