and now, this month:
Casio electrician Dan Friel returns to wmass this month to share his
fuzzy beats and bloppy mud melodies. Known more recently for his work
with the anthemic prog brigade Parts & Labor, Friel carries with him a
hefty history of sick jams. As a wee chap cradled in the verdant
fields of south amherst, he sharpened his chops in brutal noise/rock
acts like the Squidlaunch collective & Soren. His instrumental solo
sets are intimate & chugging with a nice pressure of intimacy &
chugginess that might get yout slightly lost in the moment & then come
back only to realize what you just repeated.

With lips of fury, local trumpeter Peter Bonos will be dropping a sack
of new compositions & improvisations for solo horn, metal implements,
& aquarium air compressor. With an ever expanding vocabulary he
fearlessly harnesses overblowing freejazz, improv scrape, & folksy
romanticism without looking or sounding like a dork. This could be
the debut of his Pi-based numerological score, so watch out!

Angela Zammarelli will be showing some exquisite short video work that
pulls one under a crocheted blanket and deep into a sweaty abyss of
twisted penetrating mycelium. Zammarelli works in many media notably
fiber, performance, & installation. She's done cool residencies in
faraway places & has shown her awesome art all over.

Local celebrity, fishkeeper & aquarium expert Dan Linton will be
presenting his informative talk "Freshwater Shrimp Cocktail: The
history, and basics of keeping freshwater shrimp in the home
aquarium." Keep clean with a crustacean.
DJ Cloca will take on the decks this month and put the needle on
inappropriate records where possible.
... and like last month, there will be a Paper Program, a MPBE PP, to
be exact. send submissions for this month's issue by next week. peep
