8PM
PINK CANOES
Noah Phillips-guitar, electronics, Aram Shelton-saxophones, laptop, Zachary Watkins-electronics, Travis Johns-bass, laptop, electronics, Ava Mendoza-guitar, electronics
This quintet runs the gamut of texture and volume, turning on a dime from chunks of abrasive noise to moments of barely audible sound inspection. Will tie your synapses in knots!

9PM
Van Boven CD release set for I.E.D. (Improvised Explosive Device) on Edgetone Records
Jon Brumit - drums/devices
Wayne Grim - guitar
Van Boven starts with an indie rock aesthetic, and takes it to ominous extremes - combining avant-rock concepts with dirty underground blues and melodic meandering...their music is both inspiring, and thoughtfully aggressive.
