First Friday Arts Walk: Zack Kane, 1:96 |
Through his spacecraft creations and diagnostic
murals, Zack Kane explores the aesthetic and intellectual intricacies
of space travel. Although originating in his mind, his machines, made
from assembled cardboard, adhere to physical laws of functionality based
on the power source of ‘dark matter.’ This show combines beauty
with innovation, questioning technology as a means to an end or an end
in itself. Also inherent to the show are ideas about the nature of information
and the limitless possibilities of outer space. 5-8p, free, All ages |

Oneida with Birds of Avalon and Eldemur Krimm |
The New Yorker said it best: “The hard-rocking,
long-running Brooklyn trio Oneida trashes genres with the same passion that
other, newer New York City bands devote to dressing for magazine photo shoots.”

Mason
Jennings
|
Since Mason Jennings was a teenager, he has
chosen to use his voice to sing, to stand up and to call out to the world
the highs and lows of life and love, to cast a light on the shadows of doubt,
to loosen the grip of fear on our hearts and minds, to laugh, to cry. Local
singing pixie Emilia Dahlin and her jazzy boys warm the stage. 8p, $12 adv/
$15 night of, 18+ |

MONO
w/ Eluvium and amoga |
Mono has become one of the most passionately
aggressive rock bands of the last decade, executing their soaring crescendos,
titanic sheets of distortion and dark melodies with the delicacy and precision
of a folded paper crane. Matthew Cooper, aka Eluvium, transforms the vibrations
in his brain into sweeping walls of elegant noise. With a depth ranging
from fragile to glacial, he takes dense layers of guitars and pianos and
builds them into an awe-inspiring fortress. For openers, we introduce the
compositional hardcore of amoga. 8:30p, $7, 18+ |

Cerberus
Shoal |
Cerberus Shoal: formed by evolution or intelligent
design? A case could be made for both, what really matters is their agenda
of using music as a medium to connect with people and spread heart and mind
ideas. Harpswell Sound mix their fondness for 60’s folk and folk rock
bands with a contemporary ingenuity. And then there's Crank Sturgeon--we
just don't know what kind of antics we're in for with him. 8:30p, $8, 18+ |

Sole with
Pedestrian and Dosh |
anticon's catalyst and business bad boy sole
has big ambitions and a working-man's wallet. By age 14 he was a young don
of the Portland, Maine rap game, serving high school seniors in ciphers
at lunchtime. He has since traded in his battle rhymes for heartfelt words
and an unmistakable hoarse voice. Whether he is cloaked in the goth-hop
darkness of alias production or riding the rhythmic intensity of jel beats,
sole's is some of the most emo-honest rap has ever been. 9p, $8, 18+ |

Les Angles Morts
http://www.lesanglesmorts.org/
"Two of the members of Les Angles Morts were founding members of
Montreal sensations The Arcade Fire, and while Les Angles
Morts are
substantially louder and harder, they share an interest in experimentation
and artfulness with their former project." |
Cinematic instrumentalists Les Angles Morts
play noisy, fearful, ridiculous film scores. They emerged from the Montreal
underground, practicing and playing their earliest shows in a former textiles
mill on the banks of the Lachine Canal. hey are as obsessed with light
as they are with sound and their videos are an integral part of their
live show, rather than being incidental to it. All their songs are scores
to the homemade films of neon puppet wars, travelogues and kaleidoscopic
flashes of light that the band projects over the stage. 8:30p, $5, 18+ |
