An yes, Oso is that madman who was touring with the Oxes the last
time, and started the whole onstage gentleman urine drinking
competition thing, and more crazy stuff. Anyway, he'd like to perform
while unicyling this time (maybe not inside Henry's, but he might be
doing additional last minute performances), so if you know of anyone
who could lend us a unicycle for a couple of days, please let us know!
Anyway, hope to see you at these shows, and here's the Corsano info
below...

Chris Corsano 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 his fellow musicians.
He has recorded and gigged with, among others, Paul Flaherty, Wally
Shoup, Thurston Moore, Jim O'Rourke, Mick Flower, Jandek, Greg Kelly,
Daniel Carter, Six Organs of Admittance, Sunburned Hand Of Man, and
many more.
Corsano has recently focused on developing an expanded solo
percussion music of his own, incorporating sax reeds, violin strings
and bows, pot lids, adhesive tape, and other household devices into
his drumkit.
"...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
