Ferlinghetti’s Routines
Theater
8:30pm
$12
Routines was first published by New Directions in 1964. Written by legendary poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti, it was his hope that in, "feeling around on the frontiers of the theatre, we may yet possibly discover some ‘seeking action’ in life itself." He continued by calling it "a kind of Third Stream Theatre (re Third Stream Jazz scene): a "third stream between oldstyle dramas and spontaneous Action or improvisation, between Well-Made Plays and those free-form Happenings made of perceptual chaos."
We choose to call Routines Installation Theatre; it is theatre that we hope will modify the way we actively or inactively participate as audiences and performers alike. Participants include local area sculptors, tattoo artist, painters, musicians, animators, videographers, historians, fire dancers and actors. This will surely be an experience to not be missed.
Routines plays May 24th, 25th and 26th 2007 at 8:30 PM. This play does contain vulgar language, full frontal nudity and hyper-sexual situations. Tickets are $12-$25 pay what you want sliding scale style and are only available at the door the evening of performance. 50% of the proceeds go to support Eyedrum programming.
The participants include: Collin Guy, Ben Winter, Sean Parris, William Tucker, Laura Krueger, Tae Eady, Jillian Fratkin and Carol Tulloss.

Miscellany
May’s Podcast started with some live recordings of The Subliminator, Team Gina, GFE (playing again May 8th with GKduo), Bent Frequency (May 20th), Atlanta Poets Group (dedicated radio show next month, June 3rd), Wilbert de Joode, Peter Brotzmann Trio and even Amy Ray. We played a field recording of the Eyedrum crew blowing minds in the annual Inman Park Parade on April 28th. We then continued with some recordings of Lid Emba, Spaceseed, The Strix Varia and Z-Axis -- all playing at the May 18th "Outer Space"-themed show. Todd Nickelson and Nashville Nuns (members of Stovall) were up next, appearing at the Peter Loose art event on May 12th, and finally we closed with some industrial noise / percussion by Z'ev (playing at Eyedrum on May 16th). Another show that was stylistically all over the musical map. Something for everyone! Studio guests included Allen Welty-Green, Bryan Dodd and John Gillett; hosted by Chris Campbell. Download link or Podcast feed.
April’s Podcast is now available! We had quite the genre-defying show this month. We started with a couple pieces by Steve Reich, due to the upcoming April 8th event. Then we shifted gears into the folk punk of This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Anna Kramer and Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship, all playing at the Bike Spectacle fundraiser on April 21st. Then we went into a noise set, playing Black Meat and Tree Creature, both recorded live at Eyedrum. Peter Brotzmann was up next; he'll be appearing at Eyedrum on April 16th. Lid Emba screwed around with an Asa-Chang and Junray recording, Isia Cooper performed a song, Duet For Theremin and Lap Steel got their drone on, and we finished a quick bit of Guru Guru. Studio guests included Nisa Asokan, Robbie Kee, Mary Richardson, Nathan Brown, Travis Thatcher and Ben Coleman. Hosted by Chris Campbell, who apologizes for the poor segues -- it was a bit chaotic but a good show! Direct download link or Podcast feed

October’s Podcast
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. If you don’t know what all the podcast fuss is about, a podcast is simply an audio file that you can listen to on your computer or portable mp3 player.
