611 Florida R.I.P.

[Nicki P.]

It is with great sadness that I have to report that we got hit with a
90-day notice to vacate the premises. By the end of September, 611
Florida will no longer be hosting the finest experimental music from
around the globe. We might have one last blowout in September --
perhaps a final Free Folk Phantasmagory -- before we leave, but we do
have these two last shows in July. Some of the best shows I've ever
seen have occurred in these living rooms, so join me in mourning and
celebrating the passing of this narrow row house as a venue that has
presented some of the best music in the world.

BYOW!

Little Howlin' Wolf (Chicago, Heresee Records)
Fabulous Diamonds (Australia synth/drums duo, Siltbreeze)
Psychedelic Horseshit (Columbus guitar/drums duo, Siltbreeze)
Pablonious Bill (DC)
Dylan & Miranda (Baltimore)

I usually send out these emails with thorough descriptions of the
acts, but Little Howlin' Wolf needs no introduction, and I just don't
have the time to compile info right now. He's one of the best live
acts in America, without a doubt. Anything released on Siltbreeze is
automatic high quality, and Psychedelic Horseshit and Fabulous
Diamonds are no exception.
