Tuesday,  Aug 21, 9:00PM, $TBA
Mike Tamburo / Tusk Lord
Mike's solo work usually begins with the acoustic guitar; inspired by American folk traditions, he expands outward to include influences from avant-garde to noise to modern compositional music. Tusk Lord combines distortion and drone with rustling acoustic ragas evoking the current (free) folk renaissance and the new noise scene at the same time. 

Thursday,  Aug 23, 8:00PM, $5
Film Love: How to Cope: Performance, Possession, Politics
In which we explore the links between spirit possession and performance, and three examples of how both have been used to cope with colonization, oppression, and political despair. 

Friday,  Aug 24, 9:00PM, $7
Jaggery, Envie, The Ghosts Project
Jaggery works the dark edge of a genre-defying musical style. They bring to mind a more classical, organic, avant-jazz oriented Cocteau Twins, or a "white witch" counter to the haunting Diamanda Galas. Envie supplies intricate and pretty art-rock with a punchy pop undercurrent. The Ghosts Project is an effort to evoke emotional atmospheres through free improvisation on violin, percussion, and a wide variety of instruments. 

Saturday,  Aug 25, 9:00PM, $5
Cerberus Trio
A exciting new professional chamber ensemble based out of Atlanta performing percussion music of all types from the earliest avant- garde to the cutting-edge of contemporary music

August’s Eyedrum Podcast This month we played a whole lot of Mothguts' set from July, some things by Erik "Killick" Hinds and LaDonna Smith (who will be playing as a duo on August 9th), and a long song by Philly psych band Radio Eris. Then we had Gavin Frederick of Stickfigure Records visit us in studio and tell us about some bands that are playing two showcases that he's doing at Eyedrum on August 10th and 24th. We played selections by Sorry No Ferrari, Big Penguin, 13 Day Mission, Jaggery and Envie. hosted by Chris Campbell.
