June 11  Sunday

Maxwell/Mosher
Music
6:00pm (doors)
7:00pm (start)
$10

Maxwell/Mosher is comprised of Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher, two of the original members of the now defunct musical phenomenon The Squirrel Nut Zippers. Maxwell wrote the tune "Hell" which put the Zippers on the map. After departing from the band in early 1999, Maxwell and Mosher took a short break and then released Maxwell's solo effort "Samsara". The release of "Samsara" was followed by a unforgettable tour featuring The Remember Quartet and Robert Sledge of Ben Folds Five. In 2004, they formed Maxwell/Mosher Publishing and have contributed to a variety of programs including A&E's "Family Plots", two Kanebo makeup commercials in Japan, Disney Channel Production's "Life is Ruff", and J. Todd Anderson's movie "My Mummy". In 2005 they released a new disc with 4 re-recorded Zippers classics and 12 Maxwell/Mosher originals.

On June 11th, the 2006 Atlanta Film Festival will be showing the short film "The Bread Squeezer" made by local filmmakers Kasia Kowalczyk and Tal Harris. Maxwell/Mosher provided six of the songs featured in the film. "When we first heard Tom Maxwell's solo album (Samsara) after the break-up of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, we were flabbergasted by how cinematic it felt. We joked that it would be great to work with somebody as talented as Tom" says Harris. After sending Maxwell the script on a whim they got their wish. "The Bread Squeezer" tells the story of Andrew Peadbody, whose loving parents die in a Tragic Christmas tree accident. He is taken in by his well- meaning, but extremely regimented Aunt Gertrude Crab. His life then spirals out of control as he becomes obsessed with squeezing bread. Fortunately for Andrew, the cashier at Pickle's Grocery has fallen in love with him, giving him love instead of bread.

Maxwell/Mosher will be bringing their band, complete with tuba and drums, to perform at Eyedrum in support of "The Bread Squeezer" and their self-titled release. Look forward hearing plenty of Squirrel Nut Zippers classics with a fresh new twist!

In the Small Gallery:

Sun Hong

Sun Hong, ink drawings on paper.
Through June 17th.

For her second solo show, Sun Hong is displaying a series of ink drawings where she explores the relationship between line and shape. She limits her materials to black ink and white paper and keeps the format of the picture plane the same, with the intent to concentrate solely on the qualities of line. This is a departure from her earlier works which consists of both paintings and drawings in mixed media and bright color.
Sun is a graduate of the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of GA. Currently, she teaches art at LaBelle Elementary School in Smyrna, Georgia.
