PRECAMBRIAN BANJO/KALIMA/MBIRA SHREDDER
"...when Ralph White was entering the stage of life when he should
have been assimilating his energy into the great American scheme of
things he once more was saved by the great crookedness, severing this
assimilation. This inspired him to learn the ancient music of what he
thought was his roots on the fiddle. So he began exploring the
precommercial forms of fiddle music.This took years. Taking the
non-academic route in this endeavor meant traveling alone to strange
places and playing on sidewalks for tips, making many sacrifices, but
always discovering new layers of music. Also discovering that there's
some sort of conspiracy to suppress the "crookedness" of music (and
the crookedness of everything else also). This caused him to give up
any romantic notions about cultural roots. About this time the banjo
and kalimba presented themselves and the crooked energy began to be
absorbed into this person in a new and exciting way"
DAVE AND WALKER FROM ARBOURETUM www.thrilljockey.com
ASTRAL GUITAR AND ABANDONED BUILDINGS SINGING.
"You may recognize the voice of Dave Heumann from his work in the
Anomoanon or from performing in the bands of Will Oldham and David
Pajo. Their debut for Thrill Jockey, Rites of Uncovering, is an
utterly different beast, however. Toss it on and you'll hear prairie
loner ballads march into acid-drenched guitar breakdowns, rounded out
by mournful yet rousing campfire hymns"
THE PLACES www.highplainssigh.com
SINGIN' AND STOMPIN' THE FRACTAL HIGH STEPPES BLUES.
"The Places' Amy Annelle is a tough one to pin down. A 'brilliant
desert troubadour with a dark and compelling vision' (Brian Baker,
Amplifier Magazine), she lives on the road as often as not, touring
and recording with friends, staying everywhere from a high desert
trailer park to a flophouse on the Bowery, and picking up work as
laborer, forest ranger and carny. Her maverick folk music, too, shies
away from convention. Over the course of six acclaimed albums and
hundreds of live shows, she's created a heavy, feral and beautiful
body of work that "straddles the fence between the organic and the
atmospheric" ( Rolling Stone). Her recently released sixth album (and
fourth as The Places), Songs For Creeps ( High Plains Sigh) is a
Billboard Magazine Critic's Choice/Ten Best Albums of 2006"

PETER AND THE WOLF www.whiskeyandapples.com
ENIGMA, CHEATER OF DEATH AT SEA.
" Red Hunter, who goes by the name Peter and the Wolf, has never been
content to take a conventional approach to music. Known for his
unusual word-of-mouth shows, Hunter has performed in graveyards,
abandoned buses and, most unusually, an island only accessible by
canoe. With an emphasis on the weird, unusual and forgotten, his
musical ambitions are equally grandiose and romantic, breathing life
into sounds of the past"~~Kathryn Yu, NPR
TENLONS FORT www.tenlonsfort.com
FILMMAKER, HEARTBREAKER, A TIME WARP TO TOWNES' TEXAS.
"Tenlons Fort is currently sitting in the Portland, Oregon airport. A
bit nervous of flying, especially without the self medicating
substances known as alcohol and/or xanex. A grilled veggie burrito was
ingested to relax the musician, but it sits ontop of the anxiety
instead of merging with the emotion. Tenlons Fort is currently
boycotting all fast food resturaunts as McDonalds, Jack in the Box,
Carls Jr, and Taco Bell, and is tryng to replace these institutions
with the learning of Yoga and Meditation. The major label debut
"Followed by Bad Luck" will be released in 2007, by a record company
that will most likely stick us with a large balloon debt payment,
crushing any hopes of recording again. Tenlons Fort loves recording
and performing music and truely hopes to do so for a long time"
LANA REBEL www.juanitafamily.net
SWEETLY DOOMED FREQUENCIES OF HONKATONK COUNTRY.
"Lana Rebel (bassist for noise-rock band Last of the Juanitas)
introduced Juanita Family and Friends as a venue for the stockpile of
country songs she'd been writing on the side. Influenced by the great
songwriters of the golden country era such as Hank Williams, Willie
Nelson, and Lefty Frizzell, Her sweet melodies and simple guitar lines
welcome you to come on in and make yourself at home. With a group of
friends to back her up, the band independently released their
self-titled CD in September of 2004. After playing rock venues,
roadhouses, parties, crawfish boils, festivals, rodeos, radio
stations, and street corners across the country, the family was
invited to record a BBC One music session at the infamous maida Vale
studios for Huw Stephens"

ABSYNTHIAN ORIGINALS BY SAM AND DYLAN FROM "THAT DAMNED BAND".
"The Dark Carnival Gypsy jug band that you brought home and kept you
up all night playing music on your front porch and in your living
room. You were so hung over that you missed work the next day, and
didn't regret it one bit".

There will be DJs digging deep into their record collections to spin unconventional/unintentional psychedelia and strange and excellent old folk music from around the world; with tangential voyages into finnish death metal and the american underground; and large-scale projections by austin visual artists.
LIVE MUSIC SETS BY:
gypsy road veteran and world-class Indian musician Oliver Rajamani (10:30)
fractal folk songmaking outfit The Places (11:30)
and a late night performance by Miss Angeliska and her esoteric Ocean Harp (12:30)
LINK FOR OLIVER RAJAMANI: www.oliverrajmani.com
LINK FOR THE PLACES: www.highplainssigh.com
" Oliver Rajamani is certainly a rare breed. When most artists spend their lifetime mastering one style of music or instrument, Rajamani is comfortable with many. Indian, Middle Eastern, and Gypsy music from percussion instruments to strings to voice and composition have come to him with much ease. Hailing from India, Rajamani has the magic and spirit of the Indian music and the fire and passion of the Gypsy music in his blood and it flows naturally out of him as one can see at his live shows. Rajamani has done extensive traveling in Greece and Israel studying the Roma Gypsy communities and their music as well as Greek and Arabic music, and has also worked in the U.N. body representing the Roma Gypsys. He performs on the Indian lute, oud, dumbek, deff, cajon, flamenco guitar, rubab and tabla in addition to his extraordinary vocals"
All night outdoor campfire happening with improv sounds, no boundaries between listeners and soundmakers, no bullshit. The real deal. Your perception is the honoured guest. RSVP for location myspace.com/ultimatepsychogeographer
