Eclectica ala Eyedrum:
Bosco Stravinsky
Praise the Twilight Sparrow
Stop By Fear
Yukari Yucca
Music
9:00pm
$7
Doing what Eyedrum does best - an evening of aural eclectica ranging from moody to geeky, jazzy to folky, poppy to spacey, and all points in between. Artists appearing are (in alphabetical order) – 

Bosco Stravinsky
From his bio: "...not content with pursuing a normal productive life the Stravinsky-thing presented as a singing bassist in such forgotten audio atrocities as The Visitors, The Guts, Falling Rock, Surface Tension, Children of Noise, and the inimitable Suburban Baroque. Then there was The Land. Swampy psychedelic sludge from the caverns of their minds. Then one day the words "you obviously don't share my vision" were uttered. The flames of a thousand hells burst forth from his tiny nostrils as he struggled for meaning in a world far beyond the Rock and Roll Laundromat at 21st and Blair. Could it possibly be true? Ask the people on Libra Drive in Tempe, Arizona. Try to find a decent plate of hummus on the streets of Louisville, Kentucky. Stay at home and make yourself a sandwich. Fall down on your knees and wipe your pants off when you stand back up. Walk softly on the scorched earth of your existence as the past fades into casseroles of confusion. Feed your hungry mind."

Praise the Twilight Sparrow
Raw bone, emotional and dreamy, reminiscent of moonlit sourthern woods or days gone by in silent fury and speechless awe, PTS defends a minimalistic approach and a firm rooting in folk music twisted as mad love or untold dreams. Founded by Pascal Hallibert (of Dutch indie combo Templo Diez), PTS is a project based in Bordeaux, France, Amsterdam, NL, and LA, USA with an ever-changing lineup, depending on the songs , the seasons and the general state of their friendship. On tour, PTS relies on its 6-piece French/Dutch core team and a sound reminiscent of tradition and danger.

Stop by Fear is a musical consortium: our music is a quintessential marriage of experimental, jazz and the avant- garde. The group has just completed a new CD entitled, "Momentum into Nothingness" and it was released in May, 2006. Momentum into Nothingness has been reviewed by "Signal to Noise", "Wind and Wire", "Ambient Navigator", "Vital Weekly" and several other musical outlets and on-line magazines. The group currently, is L.A. Jenkins on guitar and Chris Murray on drums, sampler and electronics

The Yukari Yucca Project is a brand new hybrid of multi media and culture.
"I was born in Japan and was involved with theatre in Tokyo. After graduation from university I decided to find more education in America. My five years experience in United States made me realize how different our culture and common sense is..."
"My most recent performance includes two Japanese kid's songs which are known 98% of children in Japan. They are performed with the beautiful instrument 'shamisen' (Japanese traditional instrument)."
"My show continues to evolve and improve with every new story. Different styles of using media, such as shadow performances that can interact with characters on screen by using rear projection of video, help to maintain visual interest as the story progresses. Interaction with audience members 
also keeps show enjoyable to all involved."

Rising Appalachia CD release party!
Music
8:00pm
$8 suggested donation
Rising Appalachia’s eerie banjo originals, gritty lyrics and effortless sister harmonies are compared to that of Ani Difranco, Gillian Welch and even Bjork. With their dynamic percussionist Forrest Kelly, the group now adds a unique drumming style to create a driving and hypnotic groove that is simply addictive. Playing a djembe, dumbek, boudrhan, kickdrum, snare, spoons, jawharp, washboard, and even the bones, the group Rising Appalachia offers a fresh, raw approach to a beautiful old tradition.

In the Galleries:




Small Gallery:

Nicholas Kuwik
“Eyes R Older Thank Rocks”
"It begins with the paper. Racks of paper dripping and drying with multicolored layers of washes upon washes of watercolor and gouache. Both sides of the paper are treated with my abstract experiments in color and shape. Watching the watercolor change, evaporate, dehydrate into something beautifully random. Creating a visual library, in the stacks of hundreds of sheets of double-sided paper, stained with my love of color." 

The exhibit runs through March 24th.

Gallery Two:

Carol John
“Smoking Sticks”
Gallery Two presents a solo show by Carol John, winner of the 2006 Eyedrum National Juried Show. 

Showing through April 14.

We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith.
