Beautiful Mutants |
You know him from Devo and the "Rushmore"
soundtrack, but Mark Mothersbaugh also makes art: found photographs and images
"corrected" to create new beings that examine ideas about human symmetry
and Rorschach-esque interpretation. "People are all hiding something,"
says Mothersbaugh. "Our asymmetrical exterior hides the true contents
of each of us." Housed in antique frames and leather cases, the mutants
represent a collective yet distorted history of human form. 5-8p, free, All

Karate w/ Harpswell Sound
|
Melody Maker calls Karate "four post-punk
rhythm nerds armed with songs that spring from a tattered science textbook

on guitar and drums to the bands Come and Codeine before striking out on his
own as a solo act, playing what the Village Voice calls "impeccable finger-style
acoustic guitar and vocals." Local guitar-slinger Jeremy Alexander opens.

experimental dervishes, bone-marionettes, and things to delight the most
surly Turk. Crank Sturgeon completes the evening with a blend of noise and
performance art, using impossible costumes and amplified found objects to
create a glorious Rube Goldberg disaster. 8:30p, $5, 18+ |
