MUSICAL ACTS
Live bands and musicians will perform for your listening pleasure. Among the many acts you'll hear:
The Strugglers (Jan. 17) with Burd Early. Melancholy folk rock with weighted words resembling linguistic cubism from their latest release, "The New Room" (Tract Records).
Siamese Connection (Jan. 22). A warm yet moody representation of the spiritual life of a downtown crackie.
Dimmer Switch (Jan. 23) Uniquely infused 70's soul that uses conspicuous indie-rocker instrument passing to keep those frowns turned upside down.
KUMA (Jan. 24). Frontman Kevin Olsen and gang rock out to celebrate the upcoming release of their first full-length CD, "Up to Now You've Had It Easy." A free 3-song sampler from the soon-to-be released full-length album will be available. Visit the KUMA website.
Grant Hudson (Feb. 7 @ 8:30) will be playing after the reading of Kiss of the Spider Woman (see Short-run Events above), so feel free to hang out and enjoy the music, before the next show starts at 10pm, "Platonov! Platonov! Platonov!
