Hey, everyone:
It's happening! This weekend is Avant Fairfax Fest #3, so I hope to see you there. On Friday we've got TWO shows, one at Old Firestation upstairs with Ergo, Algernon and Kingdom of Sharks and then a quasi-secret after show about a mile away with Matta Gawa, KBD and Borborygmi, if you can't make it to Firehouse, text me for the location of the aftershow.
THEN on Saturday we got the BIG show at Old Town Hall. We'll have some fucking great beer for sale, Bell's Oberon and Two-Hearted Ale, and some cheap-cheap swill cans for only two fucking dollars. All beer money goes to pay the bands as well, so come looking to really tie one on.
So, come on down. Invite all your friends to come out, it'll be the least wack night of the year in Fairfax.
Music starts at 6, ends at 1am. The Wolf plays last, BSI first. (Notice the edition of Chris Forsyth. His new solo guitar explorations are fantastic.)
Little Howlin' Wolf (the ultimate one-man live experience)
Lac La Belle (featuring Nick Schillace and Joel Peterson from Detroit)
Chris Forsyth (of peeesseye)
Eric Carbonara w/ Jesse Sparhawk (acoustic guitar/harp duo from Philly)
Kuschty Rye Ergot (mem. of Kohoutek and The Briffle, from the dust of God's ashes)
Nick Schillace (amazing Fahey-esque steel-string ruminations)
Twilight Memories of the Three Suns (last show? maybe. always transcendent)
Pots and Powercells (free-drifting psych sprawl ensemble from central Jersey)
Blue Sausage Infant w/ Pilesar (DC noise pioneers)
