March 20  Tuesday

White Mice
Black Helicopter
Small Framed Boy
Music
9:00pm
$TBA


White Mice(Load Records/Blossoming Noise)
Somehow as bombastic as it is sludgey and menacing...noisy rock and roll racket for appreciators of doom, gloom, and mindbending theatrics. 

Black Helicopter(Ecstatic Peace)
No nonsense punchy rock and roll. They've toured with Mission of Burma and Sonic Youth alike and the pairings couldn't be more fitting. Yes, it's that damn good. 

Small Framed Boy
A kick in the eyeball, a melted brain sandwich, this band is equal parts an allusion to kraut, noise, and psychedelia but don't be fooled...nothing contrived here..SFB is all it's own, a veritible powerhouse and oh so wonderful. 


March 21  Wednesday

March 23  Friday

Shaking Ray Levis
Music
9:00pm
$7

Shaking Ray Levis:
Dennis Palmer: synths and vocals
Bob Stagner: drums
Killick: H'arpeggione
A.S.A.P. Wings is the first album from the trio of Killick Erik Hinds, Dennis Palmer and Bob Stagner, a.k.a. the Shaking Ray Levis. The music is a juggernaut, a whale of a hoot. Post-post-modern revivalism at its ornery and most unabashed best. Chattanooga's finest meet the Appalachian Trance Metal. Open up yr wind-ers, open up yr doors... 

The Shaking Ray Levis is an ongoing collaboration of musicians with a
common interest in improvisation. The project was conceived and led by the Chattanooga-based team of Dennis J. Palmer and Bob Stagner. The latest incarnation of the group is a trio with Killick Erik Hinds of Athens, Georgia. They use storytelling, synthesizers, samplers, percussion, and Killick's one-of-a-kind H'arpeggione to achieve their distinctive sound. They are the first American group to have recorded for Incus Records, the record label of late British free improvisational guitarist Derek Bailey. Additionally, they have performed and recorded with John Zorn, David Greenberger, Fred Frith, Min Tanaka, Amy Denio, Ken Vandermark, Peter Kowald, Susan Alcorn, Larry Ochs, Habib Koité, Chris Cutler, Susie Allen, and Derek Bailey, 
as well as with many other critically acclaimed artists.

March 25  Sunday

Joshua Fried
Music
8:00pm
$7
Experimental music composer/performance artist Joshua Fried is known for turning technology on its head, challenging its assumptions, while using machines to accentuate the raw human qualities of live events that are unique to the moment. His work partakes equally of minimalism and the rhythmic experimentation of Nancarrow and his followers, as well as contemporary performance art, dance rhythm and sound processing techniques. 

Check out his website!




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 One:

Lost! photographs

We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith.
