SHARKS WITH WINGS
SANGUINE VESSEL
@ Vox Populi
319 N. 11th Street
Third Floor
Philadelphia, PA

BROTHERS PEEESEEYE
When the three members of Peeesseye get together, they speak a strange vocabulary all their own, something akin to the secret language of twins or a deliberately aggressive Esperanto. So when one member of the trio is missing, the remaining members could be forgiven for feeling an itch where their other should be. As Phantom Limb, Jaime Fennelly (on harmonium and electronics) and guitarist Chris Forsyth, who recently moved himself and his Evolving Ear label to Philly, will scratch that itch with the addition of Nate Wooley, who should fit right in given the way he seems to speak in tongues through his trumpet anyway. ~Shaun Brady, City Paper.
Sharks with Wings returns after a long hiatus with a new line up featuring Brian Osborne, Marc Zajack, Thomas Clark, and Michael Barker, and local band Sanguine Vessel, the long running project of Jared Burak and Matt Raedman, rounds out the the night

October 23rd (friday)
OVER-NITE SENSATION: Fall Edition
A seven part sampling of uncategorizable acts of creativity.
@ Plays and Players
1714 Delancy Street
9pm; $5- $10 sliding scale
For over three years Bowerbird has stood under the banner of "experimental" and championed the multitude of perspectives that umbrella encompasses. OVER-NITE SENSATION offers a unique opportunity, for the seasoned and the uninitiated alike, to sample a broad array of artistic inclinations, all in one night. Artists from Philadelphia and far beyond will beguile the audience with free jazz, electro-acoustic improvisation, free improv, inter-media video and sound works, dance, euphoric drones, and psychedelic compositions.
1. Damon Smith - solo bass; not jazz, not not jazz; west coast style, maybe a bit upside down.
2. Phill Sheldon - unresolved investigations at the edge of Fluxus, not a little bit Yoko Ono.
3. Ian Fraser - electronic array I: analog electronic circuits, laptop, tapes, radio, etc.
4. Mike Szekely (drums), Matt Engle (bass), Matt Mitchell (keyboards/electronics); Jack Wright (saxophones) - also not jazz, not not jazz.
5. Travis Woodson - solo guitar;
6. Scott Allison - electronic array II: analog electronic circuits, laptop, tapes, radio, etc.
7. Mikronesia
(order subject to change and further obfuscation)
Important notes: Note 9pm start time. Set durations will be generally between 10 - 15 minutes, making for a quicker, but not exhausting parade of performances. Quig's Pub, the Plays and Players on-premise speakeasy, will be offering adult beverages and other libations throughout the night. Revelry will abound.
