Volcano! I'm Still Excited with WE RAGAZZI and The Landing Party
8:30p, $5, 18+ |
Volcano! I'm Still Excited's three members--one on guitar, one on keyboard, one with a double bass drum (but no bassist)--craft some of the most energetic and innovative compositional pop songs to travel to Portland.

| 02.05.04 | Thurs |
The Billy Nayer Show with EGGBOT
8:30p, $5, 18+ |
The Billy Nayer Show's speciality is a dark and sometimes cryptic sarcasm that encases a surprising core belief in the power of love. Led by Cory McAbee, this virtuous foursome presents fascinating narratives: odd, awesome rock music with a combination of light whimsy and the dark bitter truth of relationships & human nature. Local rock star EGGBOT opens. |
| 02.06.04 | Fri |

Nomar Slevik CD Release Party with Sontiago, Moshe and Bread and Rent
9p, $5, 18+ |
Local producer/rhymer Nomar Slevik is a social hermit, a trait which has been nothing but beneficial for his productivity. Slevik has received nothing but good marks on his most recent duets album, "Paper Bullets." Nomar continues to be on of the most productive and experimental artists of independent hip-hop. Sontiago, Moshe and Bread and Rent open. |
| 02.11.04 | Wed |
Black Dice with Orthreim and Conifer
8:30p, $7, 18+ |
Black Dice's music pushes the limits of hardcore and noise rock, producing a sound that's as abrasive distorted as possible. Washington, D.C.-based Orthreim exists somewhere on the overlapping flanges of extreme metal, avant-garde jazz, and progressive rock, specializing in intricately composed guitar-drum instruments of vast, almost alien complexity. Local rocker Conifer opens the night. Note: ear plugs advised. |
| 02.12.04 | Thurs |
Southern Comfort - a film by Kate Davis
7p, $5 sug, all ages |
Southern Comfort brilliantly follows the life of a female to male transsexual who lives in the back hills of Georgia. A rare blend of humor, romance, and tragedy, this film by Kate Davis is the first nonfiction film to intimately tell a trans-to-trans love story, set against a disturbing tale of gender bias as it unfolds before camera. Compelling and human, Southern Comfort is the winner of 20 international film awards including the Jury Prize at Sundance. |
| 02.13.04 | Fri |
Paul J. Bosse & Ryan Foss with Plasmids and Phages
8:30p, $5, 18+ |
Paul J. Bosse (Angry Rodent Records) bangs maniacally on drums, tuned fire extinguishers, & looped percussion, accompanied by Ryan Foss on saxophones. Joining them are Plasmids and Phages, a sax-percussion duo from Portsmouth, NH. They'll all explore the Zeitgeist-art groove collective of avant-rock/art-punk compositions swamped in raw and inventive improvisation, spurred to life by amplified saxophones + live drum beat looping. Appearances by special guest djs and a showing of the dvd "made with glue and scissors". |
| 02.14.04 | Sat |
RadarTradaR CD release
8:30p, $5, 18+ |
RadarTradR explores the skeletal and ethereal ingredients of sound, much like early Cure albums and modern-day Idaho recordings. Their debut release, "Waiting in Idaho," was recorded by Caleb Mulkerin and Erin Davidson (both of Cerberus Shoal). Seekonk and Syd and Pete open. |
| 02.14.04 | Sat |
The Lunchbox Series: Scott Nash
1p, $3 sug. per family, all ages |

| 02.18.04 | Wed |
Centro-matic with The Pale and The Pete Kilpatrick Supergroup
8:30p, $5, 18+ |
Centro-matic runs all over the place, veering from tattered, haunting folk dirges to brutally catchy skronk anthems, the likes of which have them the most reliably kick-ass live band in the Lone Star state. Joined by The Pale, an indie-emo rock formation known for uncommon textured beauty. Local chart-toppers The Pete Kilpatrick Supergroup open. |
| 02.21.04 | Sat |
The Coming Grass with Jon Nolan and Hokum

Free Movie Tuesday
7p, free, 18+ |
We understand it's a bit confounding: why show movies for free, when there are perfectly good alternatives that cost money elsewhere in town? You really have to be here to understand what this double feature is all about. |
| 02.25.04 | Wed |
Vorcza Trio
8:30p, $8, all ages |
Known for their explosive, high-energy live shows, Vorcza takes audiences to dizzying heights of rhythmic and harmonic exploration while still satisfying listeners who crave melody and nuance. Vorcza starts with the language and tradition of jazz as a base from which to create new music, taking an approach that can be aptly described as "sounds and ideas in time." |
| 02.26.04 | Thurs |
Is Our Constitution Crumbling?
