KPSU  Presents: ...an evening of melted candy hearts and leftover backyard slush as winter at last crawls into an audible coma... Saturday, Febrauary 17th at 8 PM at Crux Arts Portland 55 NE Faragut ST Featuring: (from Portland, Seattle, and Olympia) Dead Air Fresheners currently the Portland Mercury Band of the Week, these masked musicians seek to merge the chance deterministic compositional theory of John Cage with the fearsome aural chaos of Throbbing Gristle. Childhood Friends Portland's favorite ultra-dark, menacing, experimental pop love-birds. Argumentix & Budweiser Sprite Somebody said, "Extreme aggression and sorrow at the same time, in a Lynch like setting."  Somebody else said, "not unlike Ariel Pink doing musique concrète." Obe' Skupla Two controlled madmen who easily fuse live jazz instruments and electronic sampling into something far too potent to be deemed "acid-jazz" though ironically much more acidic in actual content. Boyd Andersson Method Bassist virtuoso for

I Am the Arm cuts loose and lays down the free verse. This audio prelude to Spring is ALL AGES and a measly $3 at the door.
