triofeaturing members of Pins, Salamander, Skye Klad)
1:00 International Novelty Gamelan (modern music for Gamelan ensemble)

Sonically and musically, the music being presented here runs wide and deep,
as does the respect among its players. There are many unique styles
represented here, ranging from modern psychedelia and fluid, kinetic
kraut-rock stylings to pop-psychedelic songcraft through free music, folk
and free-folk and beyond to uncharted areas, such as modern compositions
forthe unique sounds of Gamelan instruments or adapting the much-maligned
banjo for music more suited to India and the Middle East than Appalachia by
adding some extra strings and a fresh musical vision for the instrument.

Maximalism, minimalism, conceptualism, improvisation, painstaking
songwriting, melody and noise will all be found in varying measurethroughout
the two days of the exhibition. There will also be a multimedia component at
times, with film projections and live film soundtrack being featured. For
those with adventurous tastes, this is bound to be one of themost exciting
and enjoyable events of the year, and having it draw exclusively from local
talent will make it all the more astonishing, as someof these artists do not
often have a venue for their unique work, or simply don't play out in town
very often.

The event will take place at Franklin Art Works in south Minneapolis on
Friday, 14 May and Saturday, 15 May. Advance tickets will be for sale at
select independent record stores in the weeks preceding the show. Prices
will be $12.00 for both days, with the option to pay $7.00 daily at the door
if that is your desire.
