The first of a series of free workshops run by ladies for the ladies! Ladies Music & Gear Night is a way for local lady musicians to meet each other, hang out, talk about gear and music, learn new skills, listen to records, teach each other about different pieces of gear, form new bands, etc. No matter what style of music you play, we have something to show you, and you have something to teach us.
Volume #1 is all about pedals! Distortion pedals, fuzz pedals, chorus pedals, etc. We encourage you to bring along your favorite pedal and discuss it with the group. We will be providing an amp, cab, bass & guitar so that we can play around with the pedals and talk about them: how to get nasty distortion, how to get a really killer clean tone, how different pedals sound with different guitars, etc.
So check it out! Sunday, March 24th at Flywheel, 7pm & free for all ages!

Sproton Layer
SPROTON LAYER (Millers’ band from 1969-1970) TO REFORM! The three Miller brothers plus a trumpetist. The band will most likely play a healthy dose of “With Magnetic Fields Disrupted”, recorded 1970, as well as material from their next album, “Press Your Hand and the Whole Room Fluctuates”, recorded 1969-1971, due on World in Sound Records in early 2014. The band has decided not to drop acid again or run around in the woods smoking joints, but this should not keep them from delivering their very psychedelic sound in a convincing manner.
