- Double CD Release with Josh Lanza!
-
Belltown Underground:
2407 1st Ave, Seattle (Belltown) 98102, WA, USA
(MAP)
- 8:00 - 9:00 - 25 minute sets by Josh and Scott (with guests)
9:00 - ???? - you are invited to perform up to 10 minutes
???? - 2:00 - White Album Jam - everyone's invited to lead songs from the Beatles' White Album in a jam format. Original keys, please - in case people want to practice!
* No cover
* We're not selling booze or food, so BYO. (We'll do a Costco run for some snacks, but they don't have salo, so you Ukrainians, BYOS)
* This is not a loud thing. Think Nirvana unplugged. There will be amps, but everything will be really low, since Josh and Scott are whiny noise-averse babies. Wah-waaahhh.
* It's a private party, but your friends are welcome.
Please help with the celebrating! After tumultuous three year odysseys, Scott Adams and Josh Lanza have completed their newest CDs. Josh's CD is songs based on Pushkin's poetry, and Scott's birds may bite, bees may not is his first CD since 2003.
After Scott and Josh do their short sets, we will open up the floor for others to perform. We'll have a signup sheet, backline drums (with brushes), bass amp, guitar amp, PA, for quiet-ish sets of music, poetry, acting, readings, comedy, defend your Ph.D., (if we can get a projector, film/animation would be cool) - however you art.
If you want to perform, let us know (send us email: birdsmaybite@gmail.com, jlanza@gmail.com) OR just use the sign up sheet at the show.
After that, we'll do the jamming, using the Beatles' White Album as a format - learn a song or two so you can lead it. We'll going to try to find some way to project the lyrics. This is an experiment, of course, which is sort of what got us here anyway

- We've been doing this gig weekly since September. Thursday, December 30th is the last one. Ivory will be back in February with a brand new lounge act. If you haven't seen us yet, please come; we've really absorbed the tunes!
If I walked into a bar and there was a lounge act, how would I want to be serenaded? What would I want to hear on a grand piano? I would want to hear it with a soft electric guitar (Scott Adams) and soft sultry drums (Zeke Keeble). Some Syd Barrett, Morrissey, Jobim, Os Mutantes, Nico, Leonard Cohen, Tim Buckley...you’ve got the picture.

- Hell's Bellows and Stefen Gruber
-
Gallery 1412:
1412 18th Avenue, Seattle (Central Dist), WA 98122, USA
(MAP)
- Hell’s Bellows describes themselves as “a fearsome set of musicians
bringing the gospel of accordion chaos from Seattle to the world at
large.” Drawing elements from experimental minimalism and rhythms and
tones collected from around the world, Hell’s Bellows (Amy Denio,
Marchette Dubois, Scott Adams, and Eli Kaufman) weave a lush,
intricate tapestry of sound with four accordions, “dexterous finger
wigglings and pokings, industrious toe tappings, industrial foot
stompings, sighings, sightings, and sporadic grinning.”
Stefan Gruber is an animator and art wizard from Seattle. He is also
the creator of 3-Way-Soccer, the most eternally dignified sport known
to the western world.
His films are narratives of inquiry, self-discovery, and catharsis
through ever-shifting, dreamlike worlds.
A lot of my films have that theme in mind - where there’s a
liberator and there someone who’s caged or leashed. Someone who
obviously has a lot of love and a lot of sweetness and I want to see
that unleashed.”

Join us on Saturday August 16th, starting at 2pm and continuing until late. Tickets include dinner, prepared by Stumbling Goat chef Seth Caswell, and a bedtime story too!
