Benefit show for Tom’s film!

Touring for new LP on SEELAND - featuring members of NEGATIVLAND!

Phipps Pt. is Canadian artist Lovage Sharrock's project with Bay Area-based electronic musician Jon Leidecker (Wobbly, Negativland, Thurston Moore Group)
Falling somewhere between precise songcraft and free improv, acid folk and ambient electronics, the music Sharrock and Leidecker create is an ongoing sonic conversation between two singular artists listening and responding to one another with care and curiosity. The new album is out on SEELAND RECORDS 10/31

Demonsleeper is Alexandra Buschman-Román, aka Sandy, a Puerto Rican experimental sound artist and vocalist. As a singer, composer, and electronic percussionist, she/they draw from Afro-Caribbean music and Taino stories and started making experimental music in 1999 Puerto Rico with electro-acoustic group Synesthesia. Alexandra is half of avant-tropical duo Las Sucias and one third of Trio del Mango. Lucky for Brooklyn, Sandy now local.

Fundraising for the Earth First! Climbers Network

tells the story of an eclectic mix of activists who take a stand to protect an old growth forest from logging at Warner Creek in the Willamette National Forest of Oregon, blockading the logging road and repelling the state police with continuous occupation from 1994-1995.

the film follows the activists as a community gathers around the illegal blockade and develops into the cascadia free State, igniting similar actions that spread across the region. vears after its release, pickaxe has become a classic document of the potential for grassroots direct action to achieve victory against the forces of both government and big business. Lovingly crafted by the participants themselves, the film expertly presents every moment, from confrontation to celebration.

Opening is K8A: Impressions of Ethiopia for violin & electronics 
This is a collection of musical vignettes by fiddle player Kaethe Hostetter. Sourcing from her eleven years living in Addis Ababa, she transports you with her sounds and story telling to the bustling streets of the East African metropolis, evoking the crackling sounds of a saxophone blaring out of a barbershop radio, a shepherd's flute melody turned dub reggae, a beam of light shafting through a thousand year old church, the fervent dancing on packed dirt floors of a rural honey-wine bar, and the funky big band psychedelic sounds of Ethiopia's "Golden Era"

Disengineering Society is a hardware hacking collective that organizes workshops teaching musical instrument building using electronic waste. Think old vapes turned into working microphones. Children's toys that screech and scream in ungodly ranges. Beautiful cascading synthesizers made out of old hard drives. And an ethos of combatting planned obsolescence at the forefront of it all. Our educational aim is engineering forward, and our ideological aim is to challenge our apathetic relationships to technological consumption through hands-on workshops. Making weird, awesome instruments happens to be the wonderful by-product of this pursuit.
