Half A Pigeon presents a short notice night of noise featuring Vodka Soap, the solo outing from Spencer Clark of San Francisco drone overlords the Skaters.

" teleports straight into the nowhere zone with Native American rhythms and power visions, sudden spurts of percussive tape spool, choirs of alien visitation and what sounds like gamelan works scored for tiny pulses of light. With every jump cut the whole thing just seems to devolve into deeper, more primal alphabets until it sounds like the first music you ever heard, while your auditory canals were still connected to the source. Aspects of Cluster and Harmonia, Sun Ra's wiggiest keyboard visions, Terry Riley, early choral music, Nico and even Fripp and Eno combine in a fog-shrouded paean to black exotica. This is some of the deepest psychedelic sound to come out of the underground since Angus MacLise's skull exploded in Kathmandu."

Too Many Cooks Arkestra
Too Many Cooks Arkestra's origins seem wholly appropriate to the nature of the band; chaotic, ambiguous, fortuitous. An ever evolving lineup creating amazing sonic psychedelia. Every performance is improvised on the night with no group practice beforehand. It could go wrong, it could go right; such is life.

Sly & The Family Drone

The live vehicle for Matthew Cargill's cassette tape manipulations. Taking influence from zoe irvine's mmm and michael oster's tape destruction, he exploits tape to produce sound; the ‘warm’ warbles of wow and flutter transform into deep bass murmurs and spoken word becomes lost beneath a garbled layer of hiss.
