JACK ROSE (Beautiful Happiness / VHF):
twelve-string and slide guitar by the lead guitarist from psych drone
group PELT. Rose positions himself as one of the few heirs to the
solo folk guitar tradition paved by John Fahey and Leo Kottke or even
Blind Willie Johnson. His almost ghostly, spectral melodies float
over the drone instead of within it

CHRIS CORSANO provides a solo drum show with no parallel. Known to
expose the audience to sounds, rhythms and explosive propulsion that
defy normality. Recently he has toured with the more than enigmatic
Jandek as well as appearing on the last Six Organs of Admittance
record on Drag City. He has gained a well-earned reputation as one of
the best drummers around. Equally at home with intense kinetic
explosions of energy and concentrated near-silence, he effortlessly
flows from one idea to the next, always simpatico with the space.

He has recorded and gigged with, among others, Paul Flaherty, Wally
Shoup, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Jim O'Rourke, Daniel Carter,
Sunburned Hand Of The Man, MV&EE, Dredd Foole, Vampire Belt and Tony
Conrad.

"...deadly drum explosions...swatting his kit as if it were covered
in giant ants, with every component used to full effect - a tighly
orchestrated beating of skins and rims resounding over the ensuing
flow of inventive exploration" - Edwin Pouncey - The Wire

SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN:
"Sunburned Hand of the Man is a band in the loose sense of the word;
it's better described as a banner under which a collective of musical
freaks have gathered. Their sound incorporates everything from early
American folk music to drone, free jazz, space rock, and funk." AMG

There can be anywhere from 4 to 12 of them on stage, and what they do
up there is an even bigger gamble. Boston's Sunburned Hand Of The Man
is a collective - freethinking and freewheeling - and like their folk
improv colleagues No Neck Blues Band (of similar sonic commune
descent), anything can happen. "We bring tons of gear to the show
because everyone has their primary instruments," explains guitarist
Paul Labrecque. "So we'll set it all up, and then in the end what
happens? Two people are there, banging on a piece of metal."

HUSH ARBORS
"Lines from poems, tidbits of letters, a photograph, a drawing or
painting, the colors in the sky at sunset, drives along the parkway,
hikes, all things psychedelic in nature, from leaves to the moss
covering a tree: these are the elements of one man folk/psych/drone
ensemble Hush Arbors, a.k.a. Keith Wood. [...] This is gentle free
folk bristling with rare invention and spirit, and the results are
well on par with the undisputed masters of the genre." Mats Gustafsson
