I believe they will, assuming as you say available venue capacity and not 1 out and 1 in. Dont hold me to this but I don't think I've run into a situation where they wouldnt allow this unless it was...
MOre power to you if you can pull this off! Are you staying for all the shows?

In for both (of course). For those not familiar with Tomato Head----KILLER PIZZA, worth going to!

Some super fan that was sitting in front of me recommended the three numbered "Forse" albums. He said that the performance that we just saw was in that vein. Anyone hear those?

Well I agree with you, even though I'm surprised you are saying what you are saying. (You are usually much more positive about things). The scheduling for me is really shitty. Why the fuck would...

no
no-but my impression is the band is fully aware of it and are exploiting it for whatever it's worth
I'll admit I don't understand the scene.

It took me along time to understand Bach. And when I say "understand", I don't mean on a technical music theory level, I mean more on an enjoyment /wonderment level. His music clicked for me only...
Shackleton and Mong Tong. Two recent discoveries (the latter compliments of someone from PE... who I would like to thank profusely!!!)

Yes, they do have a fest program (paper). They will also have the times and locations in a final version on their website eventually
yep! I usually never have a pre-arranged list in my head of must see's/want to see's/maybe see's etc etc etc. I'll just take the days as they come.
For newcomers to BE this year, I would...
For me, the only reason to go see this is Sheila Moloney who I believe was the keyboard player for some 80's groups that I dug, namely Research and Sonicphonics. If it's the same person, and I think...
Yeah, I saw that but thanks John! He's a big loss to the avant music scene and also to the downtown scene where he had quite a presence. About 20 years ago I went to one of his shows where he was...
I'm not surprised. You have to really get yourself into a very special "state" or "zone" to experience a Feldman piece. If you are there (meaning in that "special place"), the music is nothing...
I didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I'd just necro-post on this thread that Mr. Battema started:
Last Saturday I was one of the fortunate to see a live performance of Stephen O'Malley...

Yeah, I'll most likely do that. All the Blacktronika acts that I want to see (except for KMRU) are front-loaded on Thursday so I'm sure I'll be catching as many of those as I can.

I forgot to post this link too... about a month ago C-A did a gig as a large 15-piece formation, it was heavy on improv and it was very Cow-like.

Cheer-Accident just recently released Q-Pop, an album of short songs, but BIG ideas!!
The songs might be short but the scope is universal. Here are my impressions of it:

Extremely stoked about this... a new one!

Sounds like a plan! The last thing you are going to want to do is stumble out of your last concert at around 1am on any given nite and face a two hour walk back to your hotel. Ian wouldn't even do...
The price might be good but I have no idea where the papermill district is. The fact that it's a 2-hour walk to downtown might be a brutal mistake since the fest itself entails so much walking...
Isn't this the band that prostrates themselves in prayer every morning..?
...oh sorry that's Henry KowTow

Saw Cheer-Accident last night so, this link has bunch of C-A content about the performance (C-A was a 15 piece ensemble that were definitely getting their Henry Cow ya ya's out) but, i'm putting it...
sub rosa is a pretty big label, I've had to "remind' labels about their own release date...just send them a message through BC, that may help, or, you are probably right, it will be later today
I never knew what Zorn meant when he said he wanted to play in the "fucking haunted place" instead of the Tennessee Theater... now I do
thx Brad

hey man---STone has been a favorite of mine for the last several months. Here is a great Bandcamp guide to his music. The three archival releases that span his entire career are essential if you...

Good timing and congrats on taking the plunge!!!
The email I received today said the Premier passes are history and the VIP and Gen Admissions are close to being history, so this will sell out...
John, when you say "Pod", do you by any chance mean "Hive"? I looked for something called Pod with Braxton's name associated with it and couldn't find it.

Really hoping that this year Tyondai Braxton won't have any major conflicts in scheduling for me. If he is going to do what I think he's going to do it will be an excellent thing of laptop/mod...
I'm going to guess that many of these Afro Futurism shows may either be late night chill affairs (which may leave me out since I need my beauty sleep) or, hopefully some of them may be in places like...
