Some more info on upcoming gigs from Lenin Simos:

thursday march 27: christian pruvost is a young improvising trumpeter from lille.
he gets some very strange sounds of out his instrument, exploring the sonic spectrum from very soft breathing to jolts of ecstatic noise.
supporting him will be free saxophonist derek pascoe, and guitar experimenters scott o’hara and dane hirsinger.
it’s a diverse bill and certainly one worth checking out in the intimate surrounds of gallery de la catessen.
see poster for details.

thursday april 3: for those of you up for something heavier and more visceral, daniel menche (portland, oregon) will immerse the jade monkey with his
‘physical sound’ approach. menche is a self-taught noise composer, and one of the very best practicioners of the almighty drone.
supporting him will be bitches of zeus, dielikeagod (shaun duncan from white tiger) and portraits (feat. members of space bong).
also selections from dj blood sausage. thursday april 3. doors at 9pm. $12 entry.
to those that ‘enjoyed’, runelstirn & gurgelstock, dave phillips and wolf eyes, do not miss this.

monday april 7: valerio tricoli (palermo, italia) is quite simply a genial artist. he divides his time between his solo works, his improvising quartet 3/4hadbeeneliminated,
and engineering albums for dean roberts, autistic daughters, stefanio pilia and andrea belfi. it appears everything he touches turns to gold.
tricoli’s work echoes classic 60s tape music, and includes passages of ethereal free improv and tightly edited noise. highly recommended.
support comes from kynan lawlor and interzone express (daniel varricchio and patrick saracino).
see poster for details.
