COCKPIT
(feat. very special guest MC: Jason Weston- electronics & personality)
Andrew M. Gaspar- turntables
Evan Lipson- bass (Powerlunch/Wolf Vs./Character We)
Mike Pride- drums
"Local hero Mike Pride is no doubt the only musician to ever play with Anthony Braxton and tour with punk legends MDC (Millions of Dead Cops)." - Bruce Lee Gallenter (Downtown Music Gallery)
"Enter the Cockpit for a very wild and exciting adventure bordering on the cartoonish, with sounds combining and colliding in every direction (DJ Andrew Gaspar often utilizes one player with drum sounds, and the other with strings, confusing and provoking things even further)... High intensity turntable power-trio improvisations, joined by British madcap Biological Cybernetic
research scientist/MC, Jason Weston. He will dance for you, he will sing for you, he will play his homemade loopies, and he will bring you magic cookies at 4:30 in the morning."
ZED NEVER is an NYC-based art rock trio comprised of veteran artists Dennis Marmon (ex-Blisters, ex-Parasites, GO KART Records) on guitar, Dave Lancet (ex-Peny Dredful and The Bloody Valentines, ex-Hearse, ex-Jack Acid Society) on bass and vocals, and Laszlo Pokorny on drums & samples. Zed Never delivers a version of rock music that combines the unique styles of it's individual members in a way that leaves audiences energized, curious and aware that rock is still a viable form of original artistic _expression. All Zed Never shows are accompanied by projection art designed and presented by Andras Pokorny.
PEACEMAKER is a fairly new project from Rich Hoak (ex:Brutal Truth,Dr/Total Fucking Destruction). The music is at first harsh noise and power electronics, but quickly and mercifully washes over the listener, again and again...
