FAR CRY FLY
Far Cry Fly is an energetic duo acoustic rock band from Hartford, Connecticut. Drawing from influences such as Guster, 10,000 Maniacs, and the Nields, Far Cry Fly presents energetic performances of acoustic-based music.

BETTYS BOYFRIEND
15 yr old mellow-dramatic acoustic soloist singer/songwriter from Northampton.

JOSH SHEAR
Josh's playing style has been compared to those of Paul Simon, Willie Nile, Edwin McCain and Shawn Mullins, and he counts among his writing influences Bill Morrissey, Mississippi John Hurt and Tom Waits.

THE RIVER BIRDS
"The River Birds were an in-your-face folk unit. The River Birds play somber acoustic songs that are peppered with some feedback-drenched solos from Hatestick. I'm really amazed at the sounds Hatestick can coax from his guitar. He sounds like a latter-day Neil Young who decided to mix his folk side with his noisier rock side." (Thomas Pizzola, The Hartford Advocate 1/2/03)

SOUR GRAPES
An eclectic, high-energy, original trio band that incorporates acoustic guitar and vocal harmonies with congas and tap shoes for a percussive twist. The result, described as Tribal Folk, is a full sound and a lively performance with strong lyric and rhythmic foundations.

DAVID ROVICS W/ALLIE ROSENBLATT (HARMONY VOCALS)
A rabble-rousing folksinger who's become something of a fixture in the North American protest scene, David Rovics combines accomplished bluegrass-style flat-picking with incisive lyrics about US foreign policy, labor, globalization, the environment, and other topics related to taking on the status quo and changing the world. (All lyrics are on his website.) He has shared the stage with Pete Seeger, Michael Moore, Billy Bragg, Howard Zinn, and more. Says Amy Goodman, "David Rovics is the musical version of Democracy Now!" In the words of folk icon Pete Seeger: "Listen to David Rovics..."

PETER SIEGEL W/ELLEN CLEGG (PERCUSSION)
Political singer/songwriter/musician who's a popular Valley performer--appearing at Flywheel for the first time! Some may call it folk, but Peter's insightful and witty songs may or may not include any of the following: hip-hop, swing, funk, talking blues, country songs with lots of yodeling, etc. His tapping feet keep a groovin' beat, as does Valley percussionist Ellen Clegg (www.foundsounds.com). "Peter Siegel has a lyrical gift that makes me giggle uncontrollably. He's one of the best songwriters of my generation and has a gift for showing you just enough tragedy to get out of your seat and on the road to a better way of life." -Tao Rodriguez-Seeger of The Mammals

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAD
"Henning's School for the Dead" is the cleanest piece of pop music to come out of Northampton in a while. While he'd also make it in the lands of R.E.M. and Husker Dü, Ohlenbusch is a model of Western Massachusetts pop... (he) has a penchant for saying things how they really are." (Josh Shear, Chicopee Herald)

have been assaulting audiences with their seamless blend of fast ska, punk, and hardcore since the summer of 2000. Influenced by such bands as Link 80, Big D & The Kid’s Table, The Suicide Machines, and 7 Seconds.

NOVUS DAE
Novus Dae is a band from Plainville, Connecticut. Their style is consistent with a contrast of hard rock. A melodic, yet heavy tone, Novus Dae is a barrage of character with the focal point of sheer technicality and overwhelming emotion driven songs. With catchy, soul-capturing sounds, Novus Dae provides a style of music with a very original sound.

AROGANT SONS OF BITCHES
play with any band at any show to anybody who wants to hear them, because they honestly have no clue what type of music they play. They figure that it would be mostly punk, but then that would entail some sort of political viewpoint, which they don't have. "Long Island Medio-Core" was a consideration.

NEW EARTH
New Earth was formed in 1998 with the purpose of having fun while writing and performing original music. New Earth’s music has never been limited to one particular style though most of the songs would be considered album oriented pop/rock. They do, however, write the occasional blues, country, or rock and roll songs. Not to mention, the songs that are just plain different. They even have some great ballads. New Earth’s main influences are the great bands and artists of the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, like The Beatles, The Grateful Dead, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Cream, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello (plus many, many more). But New Earth also takes influence from jazz, classical, reggae, country, blues, new wave, punk, heavy metal, rap. You name it, one of these guys listens to it.

SCREWDRIVERS
"the Screwdrivers play swift, powerful rock and roll. With some breathers thrown in as change-ups."

ESCHELLON
An innovative rock group that takes the ambient music of bands like Radiohead, Coldplay, and Sigur Ros, and mixes it with electric art-rock, and a one-of-a-kind songwriting style that captures any listener with its dynamics and epochal climaxes. Soaring lead guitars, Thom Yorke/Jeff Buckley-esque vocals, hauntingly optimistic lyrics, and broken up drumbeats fill in the space between to create a sonic palette of emotion.

SUFJAN STEVENS
(from NYC. "Stevens crafts an electronic, all- "instrumental" song cycle based on the symbols of the Chinese zodiac.

INCITE/
As a cooperation of Kera Nagel (Axiomatic Integration) and André Aspelmeier (Gradient Communication, both Hamburg, Germany) Incite/ is an investigation in repititive patterns and minimalist-beats. Performing they commenly create rhythms and sounds in abstract arrangements, which oscillate from fragmented grooves to experimental soundscapes. Both are active members of the Hamburg-based experimental music club "Hoerbar", which organizes performances of musicians from all over the world since the mid-90s.

AXIOMATIC INTEGRATION
Axiomatic Integration merges seemingly contradictory musical elements: Based on a multitude of sound-sources, melodic parts evolve out of noisy elements, grainy sounds combine with clear ones, calm intros step up to aggressive sequences.

GRAD COM
The music of Gradient Communication acts similar to an acoustic microscope: fragments are streched and distorted, low frequency drones raise up to a physically menacing substance. Fragile sounds, distorted pads and subtile lo-fi loops combine almost organically to a repetitive structure. A carefully constructed flow of manipulated sounds, varying between granular and electric, appears as a structure of digitally transformed elements. Including kinetic visuals in live performances Gradient Communication enhances the intensive athmosphere, which can end up rougher as well as smoother than on the recordings.

A delightful duo from New Haven. A boy and a girl, both of them very small and both of them very nice and sort of shy. Both of them looking super-mod with ties and blue jackets.

THE BATTLECATS
The Battlecats are three sharply dressed young people who bang out a primitive and catchy garage-rock racket. While, some people are pretenders to the garage-rock throne, The Battlecats are the real deal. Their music is loud and crude with just the right touch of snotty attitude.

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAD
"Henning's School for the Dead" is the cleanest piece of pop music to come out of Northampton in a while. While he'd also make it in the lands of R.E.M. and Husker Dü, Ohlenbusch is a model of Western Massachusetts pop... (he) has a penchant for saying things how they really are." --Josh Shear, Chicopee Herald

NMPERIGN

DORKESTRA
If space is the place, the Dorkestra are home. The members of the Dorkestra, Chuck Bettis on laptop electronics, Tom Boram on synthesizers, Catherine Pancake on drums and water percussion and Bob Wagner on percussion and electronic percussion, coalesced early 2003 at the Red Room in Baltimore. Their sound, a fairly even mix of earthly sounds(drums, water, voice) and cosmic sounds(tone-bending electronics) tracks a beautiful curvilinear path. Each musician plays with one eye on the group and one eye searching the ether above. The Dorkestra pulses rhythmically at times only to upset those momentary balances with violent flashes of alien sound, mechanical crunching and accelerated confusion leaving the listener pleasantly stunned. Can you see the stars?

MATT WESTON
solo percussion & electronics: "When his playing becomes brusque...the aggressiveness is overt to the point of being disconcertingly intense. Weston puts a unique spin on the drum solo and creates tones of atypical sonority. He is a sound explorer on an apparent endless quest for purity." -- Cadence magazine

AIMEE NORWICH

OLD TIME RELIJUN
From the back wood jungles of Olympia, Washington, Old Time Relijun is the barest of the 'bare bones' you will ever meet. With a nearly incomprehensible blend of primitive swamp stomp 'n swagger meets gutsy fucked up free jazz and throat singing punk gospel, they are the true and original American Primitive Deconstructionist Visionaries. That this mélange is blatantly, infectiously danceable in a "this world is an illusion burning up so let's get sweaty" kind of a way gives further evidence of Old Time Relijun's claims to prophecy in a new era of fiery, sexy, soul-punk rebellion.

FEATHERS

THE SMITTENS
A five-piece fi-curious indiepop band from Burlington, Vermont. A DIY punky bubblegum pop explosion.

BOURGEOIS HEROES
Whilst the girl hits the drum kit with a staccato beat, the boy sings lazily and plunks on his electric guitar. That’s Bourgeois Heroes. The two decided to be a rock n’ roll combo in Memphis, TN in the Spring of 2002 and played their first show later that fall. They lived in New Haven, Connecticut for quite some time and now they reside in Western Massachusetts. Many compare the group's jangly/60's pop sound to performers like the Kinks, Belle & Sebastian or Jonathan Richman.

CARS CAN BE BLUE
Twee gone horribly awry, this N.H.-based drums and guitar, boy/girl duo construct pop numbers sweet enough to be on Nickleodeon and raunchy enough to be sung in bars. Catchy enough to fool you into complacency, risque enough to make you sit up and listen. (or more name-droppingly: the Vaselines and Beat Happening meet Tenacious D)

THE CAVEMEN GO
The Cavemen Go are a three piece pop rock band from New Haven, CT. They are a force of nature, about as attractive as gravity.

***BENEFIT FOR ARISE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE***
Movie screening to benefit ARISE for Social Justice, a low income rights organization located in Springfield, MA

FOURTH WORLD WAR
(While American airwaves are crowded with talk of a new world war, narrated by generals and filmed from the noses of bombs, the human face of war is rarely seen. The Fourth World War weaves together the images and voices of the war on the ground - from the front lines of struggles in Mexico, Argentina, South Africa, Palestine, Korea, the North from Seattle to Genova, and the War on Terror in New York and Iraq. The product of over two years of filming, The Fourth World War is a new kind of film for a new world. The intensity and immediacy of its images are beyond anything the mainstream media can shoot, the intimacy and passion of its stories are beyond anything it can feel. Narrated by Tony Award winner Suheir Hammad and Singer Michael Franti of Spearhead, it is a radical story of hope and human connection in the face of a war that shatters and divides. "THE FOURTH WORLD WAR is a daring, courageous, heart-pounding intervention against empire. It heralds a remarkable, inspiring cinematic achivement that completely reprograms the vectors of politically engaged documentary to protest the new face of war in the 21st century. It fights the new endless war without end with megadoses of guts and hope. - Patricia R. Zimmermann, author, States of Emergency: Documentaries, Wars, Democracies Passionate, euphoric, contagious. . . It is our worlds against their system. -IDFA, Amsterdam

bone-dry minimal electronics from hamburg, germany. distorted noises & glitches arranged into microscopic grooves stripped of all delay & reverb. fx bass blowing deep x-switch duo.

AXIOMATIC INTEGRATION:
merges seemingly contradictory musical elements based on a multitude of sound-sources into low-beat, rhythmical broken tracks; melodic parts evolve out of noisy elements, grainy sounds are combined with clear ones, calm intros step up to aggressive sequences. combined with video projections: pictures are broken by abstract forms, organic structures transform into concrete objects.

GRADIENT COMMUNICATION
music acting similar to an acoustic microscope: fragments are streched & distorted, low frequency drones raise up to a physically menacing substance. Fragile sounds, distorted pads & subtle lo-fi loops combine almost organically to a repetitive structure. A carefully constructed flow of manipulated sounds, varying between granular & electric, appears as a structure of digitally transformed elements.

A BRIEF TALK AND Q&A WITH SASCHA FROM THE ICARUS PROJECT
WALKING THE EDGE OF INSANITY: NAVIGATING THE WORLD OF MENTAL HEALTH AS A RADICAL IN THE 21ST CENTURY As radical political activists and folks living on the fringes of the conventional social system, what does it mean within our extended anti-authoritarian community for someone to be "mentally ill" or struggling with traditional labels such as "clinical depression," "bipolar disorder," or "schizophrenia"? How helpful is the modern psychiatric paradigm that revolves around medicine and psychotherapy and how much of it is really just a function of powerful pharmaceutical corporations, public funding cuts, and a generally deranged society?

this Indian Orchard based duo gives their thanks to the now defunct 'Orchard establishment which went by the same name.

"THE MIAMI MODEL: FREE TRADE POLICE STATE" (2004) 90 MINUTES
What is the Miami model? · In November 2003, thousands of citizens went to Miami to protest the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), also known as "NAFTA on steroids". Peaceful demonstrators were met with police brutality, embedded reporters and information warfare, all coordinated by the new U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and funded by the $87 billion allocated for our troops in Iraq. Civil libertarians and legal experts condemned the actions, but police have called them a model for future protests and demonstrations. The events of November 20/21 in Miami have profound implications for our right to demonstrate peacefully. If you are considering protesting at the RNC, see this movie first.

AN INDYMEDIA PRODUCTION
One of the producers of the film will be on hand to answer questions about the film

Proceeds of the suggested door donation will go to the FTAA IMC working group which is raising money to distribute the film as widely as possible.

FAREWELL PARTY FOR MISS BETH G
For more than two years, Miss Beth G (a.k.a. Beth Gallagher) has been a cornerstone of Flywheel's community. One of our most active bookers, she has become known and loved for her electronic music nights and silent film screenings, as well as for her own unique DJ stylings. Expertly blending "The Future" with the glamorous Past, crushed velvet with colorful polyester, Beth has blessed our space with a spirit that is at once generous, steadfast, and experimental. As a Collective member, she has long been a straightfoward yet sensitive voice of reason and optimism, helping us during a transitional time by taking on the formidable job of treasurer, and later mentoring a bevy of bright new bookers. As a friend said after spending one evening in her presence: "Beth is a treasure." Please join us tonight as we honor and celebrate Beth and the many gifts whe has given us in her time here. (Beth is moving to the Bay Area with her partner, Dennis, who is going to grad school.)

ZEA
-Arnold de Boer- guitar/vocals Remko Muermans - electronics -This Amsterdam duo make a charmingly schizophrenic sort of fractured punkadelic artpop. Electro pop, but amplified into some Buzzcocks adrenalin rushes. They can sound like a robot programmed to rhyme, and/or psychotic reactions while jumping out of their skins. Veering from second to second between folk songs to speedy hammered sections. "The respective rosters of Sarah records and Tigerbeat6 line up at opposite ends of the playground and then ... BULLDOG!! Snot and hairgrips everywhere." (Careless Talk Costs Lives)

PERSIL
-Electro-pop with fuzzy guitars and sensuous, sweet girl vocals. The songs, which are based on inventive self-produced samples and groovy bass lines, sound playful, joyful and summery, while the lyrics are lightly ironical.

ANNUAL MEETING
: : : The public is invited to attend our annual meeting, which will commence immediately following our General Body & Board of Directors' meeting (see below). The Annual Meeting is where we elect our officers for the following 12 months. You probably didn't even know Flywheel *had* officers. Come discover the meaning of this strange ritual!

GENERAL BODY & BOARD MEETING
: : : What's this? A Board meeting? Why, it's simply our twice-monthly meeting of the Collective. Our Board members, who are all members of the Collective, are ever-present at Collective (e.g., General Body) meetings, so it's basically the same thing. The difference is that at this particular meeting, the Hub (Flywheel members with voting rights) elects the Board of Directors for the next 12 months, in keeping with the requirements of an incorporated 501(c)(3) public charity, which Flywheel is.

**HOT TOPIC** NEW WAYS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR FLYWHEEL
: : : What an action-packed evening! Before we even get to the weighty business of voting in our Board and electing officers, we need to talk about survival (and "thrival"!). Flywheel is facing significantly higher operating costs. Keep the magic alive! Come help us brainstorm NEW WAYS TO FUND FLYWHEEL. We need your ideas and energy. **Please come**!

AFRO-PUNK: THE ROCK N ROLL NIGGER EXPERIENCE
(a 66-minute documentary, exploring race identity within the punk scene. More than your everyday, Behind the Music or typical "black history month" documentary this film tackles the hard questions, such as issues of  loneliness, exile, inter-racial dating and black power. We follow the lives of four people who have dedicated themselves to the punk rock lifestyle. They find themselves in conflicting situations, living the dual life of a person of color in a mostly white community. The style of the documentary inter-cuts interviews from scores of black punk rockers from all over the nation with scenes from our four protagonists' lives. They come from different regions, generations, genders, and sexual preferences but their stories are the same. The "rock n roll nigger" experience is the same. Afro-Punk features performances by Bad Brains, Tamar Kali, Cipher, and Ten Grand. It also contains exclusive interviews by members of Fishbone, 247- spyz, Dead Kennedys, Candiria, Orange 9mm and TV on the Radio to name a few.)

CRANK STURGEON
what does the Wire say? "A dozen years down the road, Crank Sturgeon remain a persistent and very quacky noise unit. Their sounds have always been spasmodic, collage-like and redolent with a humour that seems anathema to so many noise pucks. 3E-Z Voice over Box-Top Living Solutions2 features the sounds of crickets sawing through great stacks of lumber while mountain men count insects in the background. That is, of course, before they're overrun by environmentalists, in trucks that burn a special kind of gas, but run stuff over just the same. And what big, soft tyres they have. Mmmmmmm..." See how they spell "tires" in England?

THE DIRTY PROJECTORS PERFORM THE GETTY ADDRESS
a "rock" opera/film screening/ artshow based on the current LP by the Dirty Projectors. The album will be performed in it's entirety, led by Dirty Projectors MC Dave Longstreth The album is about post-9/11 America, the destruction of our natural wilderness, the confrontation between Hernan Cortes and the Aztecs in the early 16th century, and a protagonist named after Don Henley. The music is a far cry from the standard rock formula. It is a stuttering classical base accompanied by digital R&B beats and instrumentation provided by strings, woodwinds, and a female choir.

FELLOW PROJECT
Fellow Project plays mellow music with lovely tones and introspective lyrics. Their use of instruments like the mandolin and flute gives them an airy feel. Both vocalists bring something to the style as the female's vocals are smooth and the male vocals have a '60s protest quality.

SINALOA
Sinaloa is a band doing it the right way… poignant, poetic lyrics hauntingly and beautifully sung, spoken, and shouted over rolling music. The drums push things along, creating a head-nodding cadence that is accentuated by dueling rhythmic guitars. At times it’s harmonious and melodic, others dissonant and unsettling, but it’s always moving.

MINAMATA
hailing from lowell, MA this thunderous trio brings us their interesting and innovative punk rock.

THE LIST EXISTS
Elaborating on the standard guitar/bass/drums formula, Boston-based THE LIST EXISTS utilize everything from Wurlitzer, synths, trumpet, loops, samples, and programmed drums to create their unique dream-pop sound. Falling somewhere between the sweeping post-rock of Sigur Ros, the ambient electronic pop of Air, and the shoegazing intensity of My Bloody Valentine, THE LIST EXISTS have been building a fan base throughout the Northeast since late 2003. Their rigorous tour schedule has included shows at The Middle East and T.T. the Bear’s in Boston, and Sin-e and Arlene’s Grocery in New York. THE LIST EXISTS’ first album, Barcelona EP (released in March 2004), was called, “[F]ull and stimulating, mellow and intriguing, but overall, something you have to hear for yourself” by the Bowdoin Orient, and likened to “a Portishead single slowed down to 33 rpm” by the Portland Phoenix. Their second, self-titled EP (released in October 2004) was named “Best Demo of 2004” by American Brothers, and the opening track from the album was featured prominently on Mangoneworld.co.uk, making “Film Noir Love Story” the number one most downloaded track on the website for the month of November. In January, the song was featured on KEXP (Seattle) DJ John Richards’ “The Morning Show”, where he named THE LIST EXISTS “Your New Favorite Band”.

PROJECT MAYHEM
Project Mayhem is a powerful and sophisticated rock band containing only three members. Their influences range from eternal rock legends such as Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, to some of today’s more progressive acts such as Dream Theater. Mayhem stands out from the copycats and clones of today, offering two lead vocalists, complex yet catchy riffs, and an unmistakable family bond that can be seen and felt by their audience. “With brothers Matt and Tim Lillis providing the driving rhythm section, and cousin Jesse Lumb’s dynamic guitar playing, the trio shares a connection comparable to very few bands of today.” – “Westfield Voice”

ART OPENING/RECEPTION...
...for Gallery's July exhibit, featuring the works of local artist Ron Hebert. Ron Hebert's art is simple yet moving; he uses a technologically based process yet his subjects are of a traditional nature. His work recalls the power of the art of Grandma Moses, yet he seeks to meet his viewers in the 21st century. The artist's enthusiasm for his work emanates from his pictures, which are generated from computer imagery. Ron Hebert creates a world that is familiar, yet he has reshaped it in a way that makes it new again.

THOR: LEGENDARY ROCK WARRIOR
Voted "one of the Greatest 100 Frontmen of All Time" in the July, 2004 edition of the UK's Classic Rock Magazine, THOR is an enduring icon of glam rock/metal, and one of the true originators of rock theater. Appearing in an upcoming USA Network movie "Murder at the Presidio" (one of several on his resume), and with three decades of records selling in the hundreds of thousands, this amazing cult legend comes to Flywheel to bend metal bars with his teeth and *seriously* rock Western Mass. All to benefit Flywheel. You will not be disappointed.

MATH THE BAND
Math the band is a one man band out of norhtern ma. Kevin been at this for about 2 years now, and have self produced 6 albums, with a combined 150 or so tracks. He plays an average of three to six shows a month, usualy in the north east, but is in the process of planning a tour around the great lakes, through chicago, new york city, ohio, ct. and just all over the place really for this summer. He write and record all the songs and play all instruments on all of the tracks except for the ocasional female.

B FOR BRONTOSAURUS
B for Brontosaurus is actually 3 people: Abe, Ben, and Joanna. Scrappy youngsters not long out of school, they live and play together in Somerville, Massachusetts. Abe and Ben met in College, where they played in a different rock band. Ben and Joanna have been friends since High School. Abe, Ben, and Jo play drums, guitars, and bass+keyboards, in that order. Everybody sings! They play songs that sound like lots of different things, and are also about a variety of things. They are "surprisingly versatile for a brand new band, veering from [a] Bible-camp folk tune to a caustic girl-punk number and a couple upbeat Jonathan Richman-style singalongs within the span of their first demo," says Fluxblog.org. "There is something that we know," B for Brontosaurus promise at the end of "The New Gang in Town," their hip new self-declaratory. But what do they know? You'll have to check it out yourself, but we can tell you this much: B for Brontosaurus hope to improve your life with their whimsical yet self-conscious pop compositions, performed with a verve and love of live that can only mean one thing: they are in a band!

USELESS
USELESS is an aggressive, young pop-punk band from South Jersey. They are expected to rise above all imitations due to a skillful blend of searing guitar harmonies, distinct vocals, and enough blistering drums to make your heart stop. Their sound is one that bands take years to perfect; a unique combination of pop-punk chords and vocals with a hint of metal overtones. A new full-length album has been released for these four ambitious adolescents. The new music delivers its share of more metal derived influences, as well as its catchy clap-along choruses. These 10 songs portray every one of the band's musical influences; from Green Day, New Found Glory, and NoFX all the way to the other end of the spectrum with Darkest Hour and Iron Maiden. The songs that have been played at shows have recieved a great deal of praise and new found respect from young and old alike.

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE
The Justice League was started when Caitlyn and Allie decided that they should rock. They then stole their brother's guitars (well, guitar and bass) and decided to learn how to play. They found a singer named Eon. They got a gig and then found a drummer. After losing a drummer, they managed to find Rob, who is totally rad. The band line up on the current recordings is: Allie, Eon, Caitlyn, and Rob. Caitlyn left for grad school. Steve played bass for a little while. Then Dan played bass for awhile. Now we are training Joe in the art of The Justice League.

We will return to you bearing gifts, we seek to put an end to this famine in our land, but be forewarned. Your door post's best be painted, and keep that crimson loyal and true, we don't take kindly to bad blood. These songs you see here serve as a reminder of what was, what was too long ago, but let this message serve as a testimony of what is to come. We Will be back, and our knives Will be sharp, so stay honest, stay true, because this time around we'll be looking for more than just your first-born. -with the sun will come a black-top revival.

ERIN TOBEY
Babe soloist on electric guitar. Her CD is out on Plan-it-x records and Bakery Outlet Records. Quote: "You grow up listening to noisy bands and playing in noisy bands, and eventually you realize that there are some things you want to say that people need to understand right away without much strain. What do you do? You play guitar quieter and by yourself. Sing clearly. Show a slideshow. Put it all out there, man. Don't mess around. "

EXPERIMENTAL DENTAL SCHOOL
With Shoko Horikawa on organ and sampler, Ryan Chittick on drums, and Jesse Hall on guitar and vocals, the distorted Oakland, California trio Experimental Dental School began to carve a solid niche in the Bay Area's thriving art rock scene in early 2002. Horikawa and Hall were previously members of the quirky project Meyow. When ex-Tim in Action drummer Chittick joined the group, the band's unpredictable sonic approach led to their sharing stages with wildly creative bands like Deerhoof, Numbers, Hella, Mates of State, the Need, Dub Narcotic Sound System, the Make-Up, and Trans Am. The band began to tour regularly in the United States and Europe, in addition to numerous West Coast swings. The full-length Hideous Dance Attack!!! was released by the band in 2003, with the Japanese label Memory Lab Records releasing the disc overseas, in addition to an LP version of the record being released by a German label. The band's lively music, with Hall's zealous vocals and bizarre guitar approach, Chittick's choppy drumming, and Horikawa's capricious organ quickly earned the group much praise and adoration. April 2004 saw two of the band's tracks on a split-CD EP with Kyoto, Japan-based band Limited Express. Released in Japan on Memory Lab Recordings, Sweden's Deleted Art Records released the album on record soon after. The band planned another full-length album for summer 2004.

EASY ACTION
Rocking with a scowling, felonious ease, EASY ACTION creates a dark world illuminated by glaring white noise. Their native Detroit is a historical wellspring of musical damage and the men of EASY ACTION brandish the seamy, steamy sounds of downtown. Formed in 1997 from the smoldering heap of Brannon’s earlier rock powerhouses (LAUGHING HYENAS and before that NEGATIVE APPROACH, both on the Touch and Go Records label), EASY ACTION relies on the Search-And-Destroy ethic, careening like an untracked train into songs that defy interpretation.

BRAN (...) POS
the bran is currently continuing his investigation of various forms of performance and music synthesis, with a focus on sonic plasticization and voice manipulation using both hardware synthesizers and a custom set of software-based sound gremlins that interface with the real world via tactile control and performances rounded out with facial interpretations and physical gesture (butoh and max fleischer-inspired). this all combines for an experience that is heavy and heady like cannibal corpse doing xenakis covers/ridiculous and magical like popeye sitting in for jean-jacques perrey (popeye and kingsley).

SHARKIFACE
One half of Bay Area cosmonaughts Tarantism, Sharki's solo turn is a calculated slow burn towards off-centered warp control and heated pools of singeing electric plasma. Her sounds, made through various custom synths, rare pedals, and grotto voce often mimic the natural world, as if a field recording of a Tibetan jungle were dipped in precious metals and sparked alive by electricity, ever rising with intensity.

ROBBIE LEE
"Sleep, Memory is a right pretty, unabashed pop record. New York multi-instrumentalist Robbie Lee does wonderful things with soulful, longing lyrics and traditional pop melodies….. There is a jovial, natural weirdness to Lee’s tunes and a folksy, almost country-ish twang to his voice and guitar that at times is reminiscent of Tim Buckley." -Sean Molnar, Signal To Noise

MARY HALVORSON
“On her hollow-body electric guitar, Halvorson is an agile player, and during her occasional Derek Bailey-esque freakouts (which are sometimes warped electronically, in real-time), she reveals an uncommon ability to play unpredictably with a deliberate, focused manner.”

JESSICA PAVONE
Her epigrams are compellingly moving and stir deep feelings that range from despondency to lightheartedness, but the artistry of Pavone and the other musicians overflows in these ever-transforming sequences. Art does imitate life, and the musical expressions of Pavone are a microcosm of life’s reality. - Frank Rubilino All About Jazz

"BAD GENERATION COPY" - FILM BY JEFF CHRUSCH
A typical day in the life in a small town gets turned upside down when a local butcher shares his prophecy of leading a universal revolution, inspiring the town’s aimless youth to rebel against the local police force made up of former high school football stars who still tackle teenagers. But things get really interesting when the Skaterheads, the Toolboxes, the Hippies and a abusive father who always wears boxing gloves get mixed into the chaos.

Hippy Gone Wrong was conceived in the spring of 2002 when a sexy idiot savant met a homeless musical sponge for the sole purpose of destroying the young minds of the musical universe. Musically, their set ranges from explosive psychadelic punk rock to addictive interludes drenched by unique guitar sounds. Their stage show consists of wild guitar swinging, fish-flopping and an unscripted energetic style that leaves the crowd "wowed, cackling, and yearning for more." The band has concocted a most potent and infectious product in the form of a three-piece rocknroll group.

RA RA RIOT
Ra Ra Riot is an amorphous blob (read as: band) that consists of seven highly dedicated individuals, each bringing her/his own experiences as both people and musicians to the metaphorical table. We feel strongly about moving people physically and mentally as a means of affecting positive micro/macrocosmic change. Formed and currently based in Syracuse, NY, Ra Ra Riot spends its time shaking the hands of foreign dignitaries, practicing, playing shows, eating pizza, and going about the business of everyday life. We have only existed since January 2006 C.E., an infant in that sense, but already have developed significantly as people and musicians. We look forward to seeing how the sound morphs as we hit adolescence and the subsequent teen years. We invite you to come along on this journey of growth and self-discovery. Word up.

BLACK SWANS
"DeCicca sings about spooning, "getting weird," existential doubt, and the centrality of mouth-holes before the tune is over, in a voice that is just WTF bizarre. Imagine a stoned-but-bookish, seductive Muppet. Imagine a more fragile Tindersticks (Tenderdicks?), or that faux-comic-relief Jewish guy from "Saved By the Bell" if he was a game-spitting mack (The Teaches of Screech?). Either way, this tune stands alongside Naked Raygun's "No Sex", Sold Out's "I Don't Want To Have Sex With You", and Lust Control's entire discography in the canon of nocturnal-restraint advocacy." -Pitchforkmedia

LEWIS AND CLARKE
"Sequestered in upstate Pennsylvania, songwriter Lou Rogai probes the american underbelly like some northeast cousin of Howe Gelb. On the one hand, Rogai seems desperate in his isolation; the title track shivers from the weight of a Neil Young sense-memory. But there's serenity, too, particularly on Giant Sand-meets-Bad Seeds desert waltz "No Name Disaster." Three memorable songs from a gifted newcomer- and housed in an ornate cardboard ring-binder package for maximium tactile impact." -MAGNET

VIO/MIRE
Vio/Mire is Northampton, MA's Brendan Glasson. His consistently affecting music spans pop/folk to ambient sound art. His instrumentation is similarly wide-ranging and sophisticated. He has two self-released albums to his credit, including one entirely written and recorded while living in Bolivia. He is soon releasing his next on Leisure Class Records.

SKIF ++
Robert van Heumen (laptop LiSa) and Jeff Carey (laptop SuperCollider), as SKIF, work with purely digital pragmatism: sonic bursts, melodic melancholy, and beautiful carpets using joysticks and self made controllers to keep it all in line (most of the time). SKIF++ is the collaboration of SKIF and Bas van Koolwijk's (laptop Max/MSP/Jitter) aggressive attack on the illusion of video itself. Independently, and processing the SKIF sound into video, he exposes the face of the machine which lives behind the often-placating veil of the televised image.

THE FUZZ
Easthampton rock n roll.

MAGIC SPARKLE
Birthed during Cancer 2005, this pulpy Burlington based duo has been channeling their unique blend of dual vocals, electric bass, and acoustic drumset rock through a montage of analog effects directly into raw, sticky melodies that feel just as good hummed while walking through snowdrifts as they do blasted through a stereo at full volume while drinking bloody marys on the cliffs of a three day bender. Their choice of simple instrumentation has kept their danceable lo-fi rock close to the initial spark that started the project when Jess Magic (Miss Monday, Courtesy Flesh) and Jonny Sparkle (Aquadora, ex Fire the Cannons, ex Glowfriends) spontaneously started rocking at a dance party and “were transported to a bright warm fuzzy place by a zoom zoom white balloon alien.” raw firey energy pumps these dance beats out in a way not unlike the sounds a bastard child of keith moon and patti smith might make while mating with a dolphin in Antarctica. post imperialist rock and roll over the top and crashing back down on you with pulpy, dripping, hot, sticky melodies.

MANY MENTAL MISTAKES
High energy, cross-dressing,French-speaking Canadians.

Viking Woman is wondering if booking this show was a mistake. Cross-dressers, a pirate, rock n roll band. "Am I on Hedonism Island???" Oh wait, this is Flywheel.

LEIF MULCH
Leif started singing in church when he was eight years old. He began to play the guitar and the drums in high school in Taiwan, and spent the next decade or so wandering all over New York State (Clinton, Albany, Utica, Troy, Elizaville, Hicksville, Kinderhook, Sacandaga, Saratoga, Cohoes, Alfred, Morningside Heights and Washington Heights, and so on) alarming the neighbors and singing at houseparties. He has played dozens of shows in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens in the past three years as part of the band Antique Sixguns (whose new record -- Five Star Dive Bar -- is pretty fun). The NY Press (back before they started to suck) called him 'an odd and quirky genius' among other things.

Viva Plays guitar like a flaming sword, a screaming train, a ringing bell, and a scratching, mutating chicken. She sings like if Freddy Mercury had been a woman.

She has performed everywhere including Bonnarroo with Cyro Baptista and Beat The Donkey, The Monterey Jazz Festival with Peter Apfelbaum’s NY Hieroglyphics, and the Michigan Womyn’s Festival with Paprika. Her original songs roam freely among the wide open spaces of Alternative Americana and heavy art-rock and she delightfully interprets artists as diverse as Dusty Springfield and Radiohead. http://www.vivasonic.net/

LOUP-GAROU
[Werewolf] is collaborative group consisting of Lowell's Setheyny Pen of Ralph Eats Dynamite and Walter Wright of Apocalypso Trio / founder of Lowell's 119 Gallery. The pairing of sound sources can at first seem unlikely or perhaps unsettling.

The result is playful and disarming at times, conflicting and challenging other moments.” — Josh Baker

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
The Brattleboro, VT scene seems to be constantly rearranging itself into ever more interesting permutations as the Feathers family branches out into a number of different musical directions. Happy Birthday is the latest and they've just made a ridiculously good half hour masterpiece on Sub Pop. The band's made up of Kyle (Witch, King Tuff, Feathers) Chris (Chirs Weisman & Greg Davis duo) and Ruth (Feathers) and they play an unabashedly charming mix of glam rock and faux (or no?) teenage angst.

I think of these as 'new directions for old thought/dreams'. Many things are predictable or disappointing...in art& music there are surprises, and endless inspiration.

THE PLEASANTS
The Pleasants were born in the green mountains of Vermont in 2009 on a crisp, frost covered, April morning. Mixing equal parts whiskey, dusty earth, and spring water, The Pleasants evoke a strange sense of longing for simpler times and lyrically draw on past experiences when young hearts and minds are unspoiled and uncorrupted by modern exploitations. Sometimes described as Americana but best described as “Intense Folk”, The Pleasants weave together music familiar yet altogether new. Bonded by their love of REAL music, this song-writing duo (Amanda Rogers and Mike Matta) has bounded on their musical journey to writing "the most undeniably best song ever."

It’s difficult to explain the band SPOUSE without touching upon the frenetic, emotional, and sometimes unfocused nature of founding member and front-man, José Ayerve. Somehow, these are the same adjectives that work to describe the group’s five full-length offerings; a collection of songs as inspired by personal interaction as by the random clime that is New England.

SONIC ORPHANS LOST MUSIC FILMS 1965-87
Film Tramp Bill Daniel is back in the van on tour with a new program of recently unearthed 16mm footage. SONIC ORPHANS is a compilation reel of lost and found clips projected on 16mm, mostly silent, of some rare celluloid gems that have been seen by almost no one and have never seen the light of youtube. Most this footage is truly orphaned film---abandoned, lost, found, and now presented raw without editing. The presentation includes a discussion of “orphan films” as they are by archivists, and at some venues on tour, a one-night photo exhibit. Featuring: The Beatles/Avengers/Huns/Boy Problems/Sonic Youth/Butthole Surfers/Johnny Cash

Their first LP "False Flag", out now on Drag City, is in someways reminiscent of the Girls at their noise-blasted free-skronk best. Wheras, in the past Bishop's guitar work frequently utilized Eastern motiffs, here the twin guitarists stick to more American sounding Psych Rock and No Wave zones as well as Minimal Feedback Drone. Corsano keeps the fire burning throughout and lends in auxiliary organ and clarinet. The record shoud be a blueprint for an exhilarating live set.

Eric Baylies also plays in Philly based Temple Of Bon Matin (Bulb,Spirit of Orr,Stiltbreeze) who have toured Europe,Asia and about 40 states, playing shows with Boredoms, USA Is A Monster, Andrew WK, Gang Gang Dance, Thurston Moore, Psychic TV. Eric has played or recorded with members of Sun Ra, The Stooges, and Acid Mothers Temple. Well that's a lot of guilt by association, but what does their music sound like?

ARRINGTON DE DIONYSO & MALAIKAT DAN SINGA
Arrington de Dionyso (b. January 4th 1975) makes trans-utopian world music for a world that exists in fever dreams and hallucinations. His most recent project, Malaikat dan Singa, is a trance-punk outfit featuring bass clarinet, guitars, multiple drummers and his trademark wild vocals (multi-spectral harmonic throatsinging combined with grunts, yelps, and barks) -this time, all sung in Indonesian. Malaikat dan Singa translates as "Angels and Lions," and de Dionyso's Indonesian lyrics combine mythology and fantasy with haphazard translations of poet William Blake on the debut Malaikat album. The project, however, ultimately defies a clean translation. Malaikat dan Singa gains power by crossing boundaries -- both linguistic and psychic. On the one hand, the Indonesian language allows Dionyso to communicate on levels more deeply subliminal than those accessible in his native English. On the other, he hopes to reach his growing Indonesian audience with his eccentric brew of ecstatic lunacy and prophetic madness, clarified to perfection during his 15 year tour-of-duty with Olympia's OLD TIME RELIJUN.

HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND
The Hotel Double Tragedy is constantly burning. You will be too with these new hits from the family! Simply listen to the album at a decent volume and watch your life fall apart. We were thinking of releasing this album under the pretense that it was found under the bed of a dead priest who was the grandfather of a couple of members of the Vaselines, but we thought better of it. You deserve the TRUTH! You deserve magic in POP ATTITUDE! You deserve ONE ANCIENT JANGLE! In ten seconds FLAT! You deserve the HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND!!!

SMOOTH AND RAW: WORKS ON GLASS BY SAM PIRNAK
Opening Reception

Smooth and Raw: Works on Glass by Sam Pirnak Statement: Easthampton based emerging artist Sam Pirnak was born and raised in New York following the legacy of Neo-Expressionism and the 1980s downtown cultural aesthetic. The ten mixed-media glass panels in this exhibit evoke a disturbing and visceral reaction in the viewer, while also offering a wry sensibility implicit in the subject and its portrayal. Employing found objects and often thick and energetic strokes combined with vivid colors the pieces reveal a child-like simplicity while treating the themes of innocence and loss.

LET'S JUST BE FRIENDS: A VALENTINE CELEBRATION FOR THE REST OF US.
Experimental Video, including shorts by Marc Israel, Matthew Newman-Long, Burns Maxey, Maggie Nowinski, Sam Pirnak, the Instant Cinema of Naval Cassidy, poetry of Lea Banks,Kat Good-Schiff, Charley Pope and musical perfromances by Crystaline Roses, Satan's Answering Machine, Time Card. And more, all on the terrifying theme of LOVE.

NAVAL CASSIDY
In honor of VDay, Naval has selected fourteen objects from his large collection of ephemera to represent what he thinks love isn't. Naval knows more about what love isn't than what it is, or so he thinks. Regardless, it's undeniable that what Naval does is a labor of love. Naval Cassidy has been a part of New York City’s video performance scene for over twenty years. Naval's act features his ever expanding collection of ephemera, taken from 99¢ bins and souvenir stores. These orphaned objects tumble from Naval's hands and under his surveillance cameras.

LEA BANKS
Lea Banks lives in Shelburne Falls. She is the author of the chapbook All of Me, (Booksmyth Press, 2008). She is the founder of the nationally-known Collected Poets Series and editor of Oscillation: Poetry in Motion.

EMBER SCHRAG
Ember Schrag grew up in western Nebraska. Schrag’s spare guitar playing and unaffected yet soulful voice have garnered comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Edith Frost. Schrag's love songs recall Karen Dalton and her spiritual landscapes William Blake or Judee Sill.

KATH BLOOM
Kath is some kind of legend. She comes from a special place where country, blues and folk are made beautifully translucent and emotive. She has a special gift - her almost supernaturally beautiful, wavering soprano is one that has to be heard, with a clear transparent moonlight quality that silences a room. Her songs will burn a hole straight to your soul. Her music has been featured in Richard Linklater’s film Before Sunrise and was honored on a tribute album featuring Devendra Banhart, Bill Callahan, and Mark Kozelek.

WORMDOOM
A Twisted Village in-house project if there ever was one, Wormdoom features Wayne Rogers & Kate Biggar (Major Stars/Magic Hour). Long, loud instrumental rock excursions that will take you back to the time when "At least they're not on drugs" was the rallying cry of America's concerned parents.

JOSHUA BURKETT
Dusted Magazine said he "inhabits that shadowy zone in which the more brain-fried variants of ’60s folk experimentation get rolled into contemporary low-tech home recording". Josh rules.

SHRINNIRS
So Say Byron Coley & Thurston Moore: "Formed in Willimantic, CT at the dag end of 1986. First as Eclectic Bitch, then the Bimbo Shrineheads, then Shrin, Willmantic Shrin, Shrinnirs, Lost Shrinnirs & surely more variations, Dawn Cook & Joe Malinowksi (with occasional fellow travelers such as Joshua Burkett) created a politically-canted, theatrically-advanced, noise/rock/folk combo inside a scene that wouldn’t assume the New Weird America mantle for almost two more decades".

FILM SCREENING- FROM THE BACK OF THE ROOM
Many people have the impression that the Riot Grrrl movement in the mid-90s was the end-all, be-all of female involvement in DIY punk. This is definitely not the case! Plenty of amazing ladies prior to this era paved the way for it, and plenty of amazing ladies continue to help keep DIY together today. This documentary chronicles the past 30 years of female involvement in DIY punk, and has interviews with over 30 women from across the country, ages 17 to 40. Race, gender, sexuality, motherhood, class, and activism are all addressed in this film, giving a more complete picture of how these women participate in the DIY community, and how it affects their daily lives.

TRIBRACO
“One possible cross between Soft Machine, Frank Zappa and Gong, an irregular intractable sound, which becomes smooth and flowing in the appropriate moment, a guitar that shoots sharp and nervous between brass section, rhythmic or dynamic mutations that swing.” — Donato Zoppo, MovimentiPROG

TUBAX
Tubax is a melodic experiment of electro-drity-progressive-funk conspired in Bologna, Italy. Since 2007, the band has been stimulating audiences to feel like they are on a psycho-surreal mission to rid the cosmos of evil. Armed solely with synth, bass, drums, and a frenzy of rhythm, Tubax will corrupt your body into action so dynamic you’ll question all you knew about music.

Jandek often plays a highly idiosyncratic and frequently atonal form of folk and blues music, often using an open and unconventional chord structure. Jandek's music is unique, but the lyrics closely mirror the country blues and folk traditions of East Texas. The name "Jandek" is most commonly used to refer specifically to the main

EASTHAMPTON PEACE COMMITTEE FILM SERIES: "THE BATTLE OF THE BAG"
This documentary film takes a look at paper & plastic shopping bags and their effect on the environment and global economy.There will be a representative from the local Bag Share project to inform people how to get involved after the film.


FIELDED
Fielded is the solo project of Lindsay Powell, vocalist of Ga’an (CAPTCHA Records) and one half of sister songstresses Festival (Language of Stone/Drag City). By using vocals and minimal instrumentation, Powell explores the many moods that can be created through experimentation with voice as leader rather than follower of the amplified instrument. She moves from dark to light and back to dark - a church chorus, cacophonous chants, a post-apocalyptic pop paradise but always of the throat; fluent and deranged. The voice is the thread throughout, tying together juxtaposing moments and revealing a world both archaic and contemporary."

THE LANDLORD (1970)
Free Film Screening!

December 10th Flywheel hosts a free screening of Hal Ashby's directorial debut "The Landlord". The filmmaker's other credits include "Harold & Maude", "The Last Detail", "Shampoo", "Coming Home" and "Being There".

In "The Landlord", Elgar Enders (played by Beau Bridges) is a wealthy young man who runs away from his family's estate with plans to flip an apartment building in a predominately African American populated neighborhood. The naive Enders is then greeted with much opposition from his new Brooklyn tenants.

Hal Ashby masterly weaves humor into this dramatic tale concerning class and racial relations in American society. Featuring an excellent supporting cast of Lee Grant, Pearl Bailey, Diana Sands and Lou Gossett Jr., "The Landlord" is a must see from the revered 1970's "new Hollywood" era films.

Donations are accepted and all are welcome to bring snacks!

PTERODACTYL
"It's refreshing to hear a track called "Nerds" from a Brooklyn band that genuinely eschews its home-zone's trend wagons. But would you expect anything less of a band on Brah Records, the Jagjaguwar imprint curated by Oneida? Pterodactyl's perennial art-rock pummel was first plucked up by their neighbors at Brah for 2007's Pterodactyl and 2009's Worldwind. Those records' tornados of angular, mathy guitars, skitzo drums, and piercing, emotive screeches are toned down in their forthcoming LP, Spills Out, with a pop structure that's a tamer Pterodactyl, but still pretty frenetic. The band says "Nerds" is about playing life like a video game: "role playing," "nerdy gamers in love," and the mindmeld you reach in a relationship "when you lose track of who's who." Despite cleaner, criss-cross croons and a potentially voguish Spector-fuzz influence, "Nerds" maintains a thrashy momentum that keeps the sound delightfully uncool. Just check out that first verse's melody-- appropriately lifted from Zelda's theme. --Jenn Pelly," -Altered Zones

MATH THE BAND
Math the Band is a electro-punk spazz duo from Providence, RI. They use a combination of old video game systems, analog synthesizers and energy drinks to make the fastest, loudest, most party-est music they can imagine. They've only cracked their head open on stage ONCE

WHORE PAINT
In a pre-post-feminist rage-fueled dystopia, Providence, RI’s Whore Paint claims a Riff Rock/No Wave/Crooner Shred hybrid as the only suitable expression of political discontent, borderline social anxiety, occasional violent outbursts, sexual discernment, periodic bouts of euphoria, and whatever that feeling is you get after a good high five. Members of Arcing, Teenage Waistband, and Made In Mexico; affiliated with Just Seeds Cooperative, Girls Rock! Rhode Island, the Dirt Palace, and Machines With Magnets.

SEVERE SEVERE
albany outfit double drumdd by matt newman and j.dubs "tight, driving drumming, relentless movement in the guitar and bass punctuated by short bursts of emotional/electrical release, and the kind of economy of sound and wiry presentation that has its roots in the better post-punk bands of the early 80s."

A EVENING WITH ALICE BAG AND DONNA LETHAL
Alice will be speaking and reading from Violence Girl, her recently published book. Alice will also be performing a few songs with local musicians Ally Einbinder (Honeysuck, Outdates, Pottymouth) and Meghan Minior (Ampere, Siamese Twins, Wont Belong) Alice's friend Donna Lethal will also be reading from her book- Milk of Amnesia. Alice Bag was the lead singer of the Bags, the first female fronted punk band to play the Masque during the West Coast punk revolution of 1977. Violence Girl, From East LA Rage to Hollywood Stage is the story of her upbringing in East LA, her eventual migration to Hollywood and the euphoria and aftermath of the first punk wave. Violence Girl reveals how domestic abuse fueled her desire for female empowerment and sheds a new perspective on the origin of hardcore, a style most often associated with white suburban males. The proximity of the East L.A. barrio to Hollywood is as close as a short drive on the 101 freeway, but the cultural divide is enormous. Born to Mexican-born and American-naturalized parents, Alicia Armendariz migrated a few miles west to participate in the free-range birth of the 1970s punk movement. Alicia adopted the punk name Alice Bag, and became lead singer for The Bags, early punk visionaries who starred in Penelope Spheeris’ documentary The Decline of Western Civilization. Here is a life of many crossed boundaries, from East L.A.’s musica ranchera to Hollywood’s punk rock; from a violent male-dominated family to female-dominated transgressive rock bands. Alice’s feminist sympathies can be understood by the name of her satiric all girl early Goth band Castration Squad. Violence Girl takes us from a violent upbringing to an aggressive punk sensibility; this time a difficult coming-of-age memoir culminates with a satisfying conclusion, complete with a happy marriage and children.

HENNING & LESA
Lesa is the leader of The Fawns. Henning is the headmaster of School for the Dead. Tonight they combine their songs into a pared down intimate performance.

SARAH SMITH
Sarah Smith, or "Hoonah" is a whisperer in the night who soothes with the power of 20 bear paws.

Young & Old plays rock music in an interesting yet uncluttered manner leaving some place for dancing should you be so inclined.

It's the fourth annual "Great Mix-CD Mix-Up". We ask those in attendance to create a mix cd or tape (artwork is appreciated) to exchange for a mix made by someone else.


MICHAEL HALETA, MATT WELLINS AND SARAH HALPERN
Michael Haleta (ex-WZT Hearts, current-Voltage Spooks with Rick Reed and Keith Rowe) and Matt Wellins put their lives on the line, dealing with raw voltage in the David Tudor/Voice Crack/Florian Hecker lineage. Sarah Halpern is a video artist whose work similarly threatens occular readjustment.

BUNWINKIES
Western Mass maestros of the mystery-volk gesture. Named after some well-bred rabbits of Martha Burr Banks’ invention, related by birth to Jow Jow Feath Knell Rung, many of the questions here are posed by Beverly Ketch’s plaintive vocals, all of them edged with a wide-eyed wonder I suspect was a ruse if I didn’t know her. Some of the bits ring like a full-fledged folk-rock oyster. Very goddamn elegant... -- Byron Coley

FLAMING DRAGONS OF MIDDLE EARTH
Turner Falls’ Flaming Dragons Of Middle Earth. Led by wheelchair-bound ‘band shaman’ Danny Cruz and consisting of a rotating group of non-musicians, psychedelic drop-outs, teenage metallers, kids with Down Syndrome etc, Flaming Dragons play a form of super crude/sophisticated free rock ala The Godz or even a punk-primitive Arkestra but with Cruz’s stunning, oracular vocals giving them a mainline to the freak flag style of prime Captain Beefheart, Roky Erickson and Wasa Wasa-era Broughton. Cruz’s instant lyric inventions are as mind-boggling as your favourite medium while the group lurch around on staggering brokedown rhythms somewhere between early-Sabbath, Robbie Yeats of The Dead C and The Shaggs. Their material ranges from stripped-down raps to lumbering psychedelic rock, as well as free-form freakouts w/lyrics that obsess over murder, bloodshed, astral creeps and, uh, Joni Mitchell... indeed Cruz makes most ‘sound poets’ sound like children’s entertainers. -- David Keenan

"HEAD" FILM SCREENING

"Head" is a psychedelic, non-linear motion picture starring... THE MONKEES. While not participating in a traditional narrative, the film retains a cyclical structure. Cyclical, in this instance, by that one can take nearly any scene, rearrange it and the action will still relate and have meaning in its new place. Is it a Western? A comedy? A drama? A musical? A war story?

Bob Rafelson, a co-creator of the Monkees television series, made his feature directorial debut with 1968's Head. He co-wrote the film with the then obscure Roger Corman school B-movie actor Jack Nicholson.

Although, in 1968 the film proved to be an immense commercial failure, "Head" has become a cult classic and an excellent artifact in the colored history of the Monkees. Rafelson continued his maverick approach to cinema and is now considered one of the most revered directors and producers of his generation.

The screening will be preceded by a short lecture from celebrated songwriter/drummer and Monkees enthusiast Brian Marchese.

EISLEY
THE VALLEY: a low point between peaks. That’s where the DuPree sisters who front Eisley were as they crafted their third album: Sherri enduring a failed marriage; Chauntelle, a broken engagement; and Stacy, a painful breakup. The only relationship that ended on their terms was the split with Warner Bros. Records. Arising from the depths, Eisley has reappeared with new personal relationships, a new label (Equal Vision Records) and a new album completed on their own: “The Valley.” Promising to bring listeners through the band’s darkest and most trying times, “The Valley” reveals their strength, patience and perseverance. It signals a victorious climb out of their darkest valley. With it, Eisley has managed to put forth their greatest and most personal album yet.

CARDINAL (WITH RICHARD DAVIES)
Richard Davies occasionally writes lyrics or music. He was in The Moles with some Australians. They recorded Untune The Sky & he did Instinct with Hamish Kilgour of The Clean & some Americans, then he was in Cardinal with American Eric Matthews & sometimes he’s in Cosmos with Ohio’s Robert Pollard. This is Cardinal's first tour EVER!

HAPPY JAWBONE FAMILY BAND
Brattleboro quartet traipsing ever deeper into the kind of mythic American territory we usually associate with bands who view our landscape from far outside its windows. Think of Australia's Triffids or New Zealand's Renderers & cross their brilliant Southern Hemisphere inventions with truths only wrenchable from the heart of the beast. There's a genuine ruralist hoot factor here so smooth that it hits like a ton of silk, but there's enough killbilly undertow to keep everyone standing nervously around that jug of magic moonshine.

...plus solo sets from local music heroes Bob Fay & Chris Carlton!

ORCA TEAM
Dreamy '60s-inspired post-punk beach party from the confusing waters of the Pacific Northwest. They make the music of a punk trio if everyone in the band decided to keep their volume low & their tones clean. Short songs, sung with a lonesome croon, equipped with a melodic bass line & drenched in reverb, like Joy Division meets Jan & Dean.

JEREMY DUBS PRESENTS... SPEAK!
Speak! is a conversation assembling works of Harry Nilsson: some he wrote, some that he covered by other artists & some new ones that he inspired. Separated by the limitations of time & space, Nilsson & Dubs had yet to engage in any projects together. The delicate arrangement of analogue synth, horns, strings & multi-textured voices are utilized to describe this delicate place.

HOME BODY
Hearts & beats from Eric Hnatow & Haley Morgan, who will create dazzling electropop for you using one note sequencer, one drum machine, one MS 2000, one microphone, three vocal pedals & a dash of magic.

Sonny & the Sunsets’ busted beach-pop songs spark recollections of doo wop’s otherworldly despair, the kitchen sink savoir faire of The Raincoats, a dose of goofball humor from the Michael Hurley school & positive possibilities exuded by Jonathan Richman, with and without The Modern Lovers. New album "Longtime Companion" out in late June on Polyvinyl Records!

MAGIC TRICK
Magic Trick is the brainchild of Tim Cohen, also of San Francisco's The Fresh & Onlys, channeling the sounds of '60s psych & garage through a dreamy pop filter. Magic Trick's second LP, "Ruler of the Night", is out in June on Hardly Art!

BABY BARNYARD

DEEP TIME
Deep Time (née Yellow Fever) are from Austin, TX; a bewitching pop duo, comprised of Jennifer Moore on organ, electric guitar & vocal microphone & Adam Jones on drums. Deep Time occupy a territory somewhere between the minimal, otherwordly post-punk of Young Marble Giants, the droning melodies of Stereolab & the haunting sounds of '60s pop - they'll charm your socks off.

JEREMY DUBS PRESENTS... SPEAK!
Speak! is a conversation assembling works of Harry Nilsson: some he wrote, some that he covered by other artists & some new ones that he inspired. Separated by the limitations of time & space, Nilsson & Dubs had yet to engage in any projects together. The delicate arrangement of analogue synth, horns, strings & multi-textured voices are utilized to describe this delicate place.

BANDITAS
Sweet harmonies stab through fuzzed out distortion & linger over dead silence, with songs inspired by notorious women, murder ballads, cowboy daddies, boys & summers. If Patsy Cline fronted the Velvet Underground, it might sound as lovely as this.

Meanwhile they will use various instruments, including their own voices, to randomly dictate activity halts.

Transitions will be experienced and illustrated by coming together to count breaths.

THICK SHAKES
Farfisa-drenched, Nuggets-worshipping garage rock by way of Boston. As the Boston Globe puts it: "A twisted rockabilly one-two that could make a Cramps record sound like Muzak". Billy Childish would be proud.

ROYAL WEDDING
Per Boston Band Crush: "Three piece Royal Wedding deliver an echoey, lo-fi rock that'd make the perfect soundtrack for a drug fueled road trip through the desert. Do people still do that thing where they synch up Dark Side of the Moon & Wizard of Oz? They probably do; they could probably do the same with some selections from Royal Wedding & the acid scene from Easy Rider or the entirety of Vanishing Point, we bet it’d work pretty well".

LAKE HOUSE
Amherst indie rock duo, instrumental-style. Inspired by fun, written for fun, played for fun.

ONE HAPPY KING
Local spaced-out pop boys. Via Thundermill Collective: "This band is something else. Everyone in it is coming at it from a different angle & two of them have totally stepped out of their comfort zones and into instruments that they've never played before. The result is, as has been said, a magical, sparkly wave of indie rock. People compare them to bands like Pavement & Duster. I've said that they sound like a sloppy, drunken Braid, but I think its hard to pin a label on this 100% collaborative & original band from Holyoke, MA."

MAWJA
Sound and nosound improv trio featuring Mike Bullock (bass, Boston), Vic Rawlings (cello and electronics, Boston) and Mazen Kerbaj (trumpet, Beirut). Customized electronics, extensive instrument modifications, and modular synthesis.

CHRIS HEENAN / JONAS KOCHER
Chris Heenan (Berlin) and Jonas Kocher (Biel/Bien) work with the unlikely pairing of contrabass clarinet and accordion using improvisation to create worlds of changing depth and mood that both expand upon and fixate on particular sonic zones while simultaneously belying the instrumentation of the duo. Sudden shifts in texture and tempo become to areas of quiet and stasis, a reprieve from constant movement that gives way to a burst of loud focused activity. With the support of Pro Helvetia, the Swiss Arts Council. The Duo Heenan Kocher concert is supported by Canton of Bern.

JASON LESCALLEET

XXX ALL-AGES XXX: THE BOSTON HARDCORE FILM
"xxx All Ages xxx" is a documentary film that explores the early Boston Hardcore music scene from the years 1981 thru 1984. Unlike earlier films that were centered on the members of the bands, this film delves into the social aspects of that particular era. The community, culture, straight edge and DIY (Do it yourself) ethic of the time are all explored in the project. The film features interviews with renowned Author Michael Patrick McDonald (Easter Rising, All Souls), Actress Christine Elise McCarthy, Advertising Executive Jonathan Anastas, Thrasher Magazine Editor Jake Phelps, American Hardcore Director Paul Rachman, Newbury Comics owner Michael Dreese and the Reverend Hank Pierce.

Q&A with filmmakers Duane Lucia and Drew Stone will following the screening.

BUNNYGRUNT
Bursting into existence during the short-lived Great Indie Pop Scare of the mid-1990s, St. Louis' Bunnygrunt spent their initial five year run by touring the entire USA a half-dozen times, releasing two great albums, a million singles & compilation tracks, then blew out in a blaze of glory with a whirlwind tour of Japan. After pursuing other interests for a few years, main Grunt-ers Karen Ried & Matt Harnish decided to dust off the Bunnygrunt brand name for another go around. While the jangling guitars and harmony-filled choruses of '90s indie pop remain, Bunnygrunt's solid Midwestern Classic Rock upbringing is equally represented, as is their love of '70s Power Pop & '60s Nuggets fuzz.

STARING INTO THE SUN
Staring into the Sun is the latest ethno-folk cinema classic from Sublime Frequencies. Ethiopia is known to be one of the oldest areas inhabited by humans and presently has over 80 diverse ethnic groups. Photographer/filmmaker Olivia Wyatt explores 13 different tribes throughout Ethiopia in this visually stunning film. Traveling from the northern highlands to the lower Omo Valley, Wyatt brings together the worlds of Zar spirit possession; Hamer tribal wedding ceremonies; Borena water well polyphonic singing; wild hyena feedings; and bizarre Ethiopian TV segments; presenting an enchanting look at these ethereal images, landscapes and sounds from the horn of Africa. The tribes featured in this film are captured with an unflinching sense of realism and poetic admiration resulting in a visual and aural feast of the senses.

THE PIERCED HEART & THE MACHETE
The Pierced Heart & The Machete is a film exploring two Haitian Vodou religious pilgrimages that take place each year in mid-July. The first pilgrimage is for Èzili Dantò, Vodou goddess of love, art, and passion. Worshipers from all over the world descend upon the town of Ville-Bonheur, in the southwest region of Haiti, to worship, celebrate, and bathe in the sacred waterfall, where Dantò resides. The second pilgrimage is for Dantòs' husband Ogoun, Voudou god of war, iron, and healing. His pilgrimage takes place at the end of July and is in the northern part of Haiti in the town of Plaine du Nord. Practitioners bathe in a mud pool and make sacrifices for Ogoun. The film explores through worship and celebration the similarities of each pilgrimage and the varying characteristics of these two spirits.

Sublime Frequencies Film Night

SUBLIME FREQUENCIES is a collective of explorers dedicated to acquiring and exposing obscure sights and sounds from modern and traditional urban and rural frontiers via film and video, field recordings, radio and short wave transmissions, international folk and pop music, sound anomalies, and other forms of human and natural expression not documented sufficiently through all channels of academic research, the modern recording industry, media, or corporate foundations. SUBLIME FREQUENCIES is focused on an aesthetic of extra-geography and soulful experience inspired by music and culture, world travel, research, and the pioneering recording labels of the past including OCORA, SMITHSONIAN FOLKWAYS, ETHNIC FOLKWAYS, LYRICHORD, NONESUCH EXPLORER, MUSICAPHONE, BARONREITER, UNESCO, PLAYASOUND, MUSICAL ATLAS, CHANT DU MONDE, B.A.M., TANGENT, and TOPIC.

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- PEDAL NIGHT At the first workshop we are going to talk about pedals. Distortion pedals, fuzz pedals, chorus pedals etc. I encourage you to bring along your favorite pedal and discuss it with the group. I will be providing a amp and cab and will bring a bass and guitar along so that we can play around with the pedals and talk about them. We will talk about how to get nasty distortion, how to get a really killer clean tone, how different pedals sound with different guitars etc.

The artistic director, Sahasra Sambamoorthi, has been noted as a "young trailblazer...on the crest of the wave leading us towards a new understanding of South Asian arts in the United States."

CHEAP TIME
Nashville glitter-punk! "Cheap Time still holds their Redd Kross influence close to their heart, yet with further expansion on the 1976-era fork in the road artistic direction, they belligerently steer themselves into unclassifiable categories, akin to when the newly marketed punk label was still being applied to atypical bands like The Quick, Television, The Fast & Milk 'n Cookies, much to the confusion of the record-buying public. While Cheap Time may inconspicuously take more cues from the Dickies, Sparks & Zolar X than anyone else these days, it's their unique assembly of all these incorrigible styles into one cohesive sounding record that makes them rise above the overall current wave of pop music & into the clear forefront of modern rock'n'roll" (In the Red Records).

IMAGINARY PANTS
Pure pop perfection from the Vancouver duo of Jon & Rose, with Rose being the one & only Rose Melberg (of Tiger Trap, Go Sailor, the Softies, Brave Irene, etc).

Hailing from all the way up in Gardner, Mass. Jeffro is part of that whole Lava Church/Caring Tapes scene that's spawned the likes of Wish For Skin and Harmoos.

MOM BABY GOD
MOM BABY GOD is a new one-woman political theatre piece that takes audiences inside the anti-abortion movement. The show follows an up-and-coming teenage anti-abortion activist as she navigates the political terrain at the fictionalized Students for Life of America Conference. Six other characters–from priests to abstinence-only sex educators–provide humorous, insightful and shocking looks into the movement. Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade by delving into a line of inquiry that puts indoctrination, groupthink, and America's twisting moral code at the center of the debate. Explore how young women today develop a sense of self and sexuality amidst the ongoing political backlash against feminism and reproductive rights.

100 presale tickets are available for this performance. Purchase of this ticket also gets you admission for the J.D. Samson & MEN performance following MOM BABY GOD at 9pm!

BREADCRUMB TRAIL
Flywheel is excited to present this public screening of the documentary film on Slint included on the soon to be released Spiderland box set. Director Lance Bangs, says the film "is about Slint and the Louisville music culture they emerged from. It includes footage going back to the early 1990s that I shot when repeatedly driving up from Athens, GA to Louisville to try to chase rumors of what these guys were up to. Over the years I tracked down more stories about them, then began filming interviews with each of the band members and their contemporaries. We also unearthed some unseen/uncirculated footage from their few live performances as well as the writing and arranging of Spiderland."

RADICAL DADS
Radical Dads is a band that has come unstuck in time. The constituent parts are Robbie Guertin (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah), Lindsay Baker, and Chris Diken, who play drums, guitar, and another guitar, respectively. They first laid ears on each other in the ancient mythic age known as the late 1990s, and formed the band in the post-crash period of 2008. The band's latest album was released halfway through vortex 2013. All of Radical Dads' music exists in the present and is yours to keep.

GRASS IS GREEN
Boston's Grass Is Green hearken back to a time when the lines between post-hardcore and indie rock weren't so clearly defined. Listening to their 2012 album, Ronson, and split 7" with Two Inch Astronaut, both out on Exploding In Sound Records (Pile, Speedy Ortiz), you'll quickly make out traces of the stop-start post-hardcore of bands like Shudder to Think and June of 44. The guitars ring with that kind of off-kilter technicality and the vocalists shout with an emotionally charged cry. -BrooklynVegan

ANTTI TOLVI
On tour from Finland! Antti Tolvi is a self-taught, multi-talented musician. He has played in numerous bands including Lau Nau, Rauhan Orkesteri, and Lauhkeat Lampaat. From 2000-2001 he studied classical Indian music in Varanasi, and this marked a turning point in his perception of music. On returning to his native Finland, he became embroiled in Free Jazz for a number of years, until a recent relocation to the countryside pushed him ever more towards solo improvisation – deriving inspiration from, in Antti’s own words, “harmonies, overtones, going into sound, no ends, no starts, from nothing comes something, just perfect, peace”.

THE COLD AND LOVELY
The Cold and Lovely is the brainchild of Meghan Toohey (The Weepies, Lenka, Schuyler Fisk), and Nicole Fiorentino (The Smashing Pumpkins, Veruca Salt, Spinnerette). After several years as a producer and session player, Toohey returned to her roots as a songstress, writing the band’s eponymous debut album. When her songs achieved placements on television shows such as Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries, she knew she was on the right path. Now, with Fiorentino currently off her Smashing Pumpkins touring cycle, the band has had time to focus on their second album, Ellis Bell. The six song E.P. was recorded primarily in Toohey's home studio and mixed/mastered by Dave Cooley (Silversun Pickups/M83).

MERCHANDISE
songs that envelope and overtake the listener, with clear and urgent vocals that swell with delay, blasts of noise and reservoirs of reverb to create some of the best and exciting music being made today. Haunting and striking, melodic and inviting, driving and innovative, these are songs that stay with you, these are songs you will remember. New Lp out this summer on 4AD.

UKIAH DRAG
The Ukiah Drag are Floridians in New England exile: haunted by grave, aberrant definitions of post punk and rock n' roll and what it ultimately means for the Superego to be blitzed by the Id. The DIRT TRIP single wields a heavy creep-beat that cleans your dusty clock and takes you for a bourbon afterwards; its slide guitar and echoplex'd vocals trail bloodthirsty sultans into synesthetic merriment.

DEMONBROTHER
The brainchild of Will K. and Andrew J. A tumultuous, boundary-pushing sonic purveyor to satiate the constant hunger for new brutality. A true hardcore debut. This special performance features a full live band.

LA CAZA
c. dooley and friends. classic wmass noise.

QUEER ZINE NIGHT AT FLYWHEEL ZINE LIBRARY

Come read zines from Flywheel's collection, bring zines from your own collection to share, work on your own zine, or just hang out and eat snacks with us.

We're doing this event in solidarity with #MoFemmeBer, a month-long fundraising effort for the The Queer Zine Archive Project: http://mofemmeber.tumblr.com/. If you're participating as a #MoFemmeBer reader-fundraiser, you'll have a whole bunch of zines to choose from at Flywheel.

The event is free, but we'll gladly accept donations for QZAP + Flywheel (since we're getting to use the zine library space for free + drawing on the in-house collection).

In the spirit of Flywheel's zine work party nights, we encourage everyone to bring something to snack on &/or share with others! Vegetarian & vegan options are usually best.

MALLORY
Drawing influences from ritual practices and personal mythologies, old Appalachian music, queerness, strangeness, the woods, growth, and uncertainty. Drawing things out and holding them up to a dim light. Finding complications in old kitchens; mornings soft and echoing in the bowers of an attic. Mallory believes music and existence are political and full of struggle. Mallory tries their best to be anti-sexist, anti-racist, anti-ableist, anti-classist, anti-authoritarian, and anti-state. They trust a new world is inevitable. Mallory is now perhaps less of a tool to hammer that new world into being, as they were when they first met, and now more of a joyous funeral for the old one, a celebration of its passing, and a hearkening to the trails that have persisted throughout both.

TASHI DORJI
Tashi Dorji is a Bhutanese guitarist who developed a playing style unbound by tradition, yet with a direct link to intuitive artistry. His songs feature improvisations that spasmodically grow along tangetial, suprising paths.

DUNUMS
DUNUMS is a collaborative project founded by Sijal Nasralla. In Arabic, "dunum" (dūnam) is the most arbitrary unit of land measurement, approximately 1 Hectare, used differently to quantify space among villages throughout the Levant. To those displaced from modern occupied Palestine, the word dunum, is a remnant, a intangible recollection of the past, and marker of loss. Based in NC, shifting players and contributors to the project have recorded, performed, and created in direct response to, albeit humbly in transmission, of events commonly known as "summer in Gaza" or "revolution in Syria."

ELISA AMBROGIO

GLENN JONES
Glenn Jones is a unique voice working in the decades long tradition of American primitive music. What distinguishes Glenn from the many devotees to this style is the combination of expressive playing and technical skill, most notably his inventive use of alternative tunings and partial capos. Glenn's songs are evocative and redolent and convey a wide array of emotions, many times in one song, without saying a word.

CHUCK JOHNSON
Chuck Johnson is a composer and musician residing in Oakland. He approaches his work with a ear towards the faults and instabilities that reveal latent beauty, with a focus on American primitive guitar, electronics, and "folk minimalist" composition

CRYSTALLINE ROSES

THE USA V. LESLIE JAMES PICKERING
Leslie James Pickering is a Buffalo-area activist and bookstore owner who was a co-founder of the North American Earth Liberation Front Press Office in the late 1990s. Following the discovery that his mail was being screened by the USPS, Pickering and his supporters initiated a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Justice and the United States Post Office to find out what was going on as well as a lawsuit when the response to the FOIA was slow. Pickering will come to Flywheel to discuss his case and pass the hat to raise money to help defray the costs of his case.

A CONVERSATION WITH RAMDASHA BIKCEEM
Ramdasha Bikceem grew up in New Jersey, where she started writing a fanzine in 1990, when she was 15 years old. She was inspired by an older friend who had lived next door to Tobi Vail of Bikini Kill, who brought her copies of Girl Germs and Bikini Kill zines. These fanzines inspired her to start her own zine named GUNK. It mostly focused on her skater girl gang and band of the same name. Through this zine she connected with Kathleen Hanna, Johanna Fateman, and other seminal figures in the Riot Grrrl scene. She travelled to Olympia, Washington, and later her band performed at the first Riot Grrrrl convention in 1992 in Washington D.C. Bikceem completed five issues of her zine, which focused on topics of race, feminism and general youth angst. Particularly in the last few issues of Gunk, Ramdasha wrote about the lack of diversity within the scene, and expressed her opinions around racial dilemmas and class conflicts within the Riot Grrrl movement. In 1993 she moved to Brooklyn, where she attended Pratt University. She currently lives in New York City where she DJs and makes music. She also runs a online vintage clothing store called Klub Kid Vintage.

AGAINST ME!
Four years is a measurement of time that America has used for centuries to indicate change. Presidential terms last four years; high school diplomas and college degrees typically take four years apiece, too. It’s not an arbitrary thing, either: It typically takes that much time from the declaration of something changing for it to actually change. Meet Laura Jane Grace. Four years ago, the Against Me! frontwoman came out as transgender; 18 months later, she released the band’s sixth album, the fiery Transgender Dysphoria Blues, one which she began working on before her transition and helped document the struggles she was facing. It was an intensely personal record that took on a life of its own, connecting with thousands of new listeners drawn to Grace’s honesty and complexity while still pleasing Against Me!’s dedicated fanbase. Now, four years after Grace’s public reintroduction, Against Me! is ready to release their new album, Shape Shift With Me, September 16 on Total Treble. While much has changed in the lives of Grace and her bandmates—guitarist James Bowman, bassist Inge Johansson and drummer Atom Willard—in that time period, it’s clear that those intervening years have done wonders for creativity. “Everything with Shape Shift With Me has been really about keeping momentum going,” she says. “In between every tour we did for Transgender Dysphoria Blues, I would have a couple songs I had written and we would demo them. At the end of two years of touring, we had an album ready to record. Usually, you come off of touring for a record and you're back at square one. But this was so fully formed it felt like there was no choice but to go ahead and record the songs.” Shape Shift With Me has the distinction of the first album Grace has written truly from the heart, with no metaphorical cloaks cast over the lyrics. It’s an album about love, that deceptively complex emotion we all struggle with yet has somehow eluded most of Grace’s songwriting for the past 20 years. “Tons of people have written about love. But while love is cliché, it’s infinitely relevant. For me, having always been in a punk band that was expected to be political, I never felt like I had that option to write about feelings in that way. That’s what I ended up being drawn to this time. It’s writing in a way I thought I could never write before, and not giving a shit about expectations.” As such, Shape Shift With Me is a loose concept album about traveling the world and falling in and out of love, with Grace serving as the narrator. But even though she was opening herself up to new songwriting topics, she knew what her mission was from the start. “Is there a record that is about relationships from a trans perspective?” she asks rhetorically. “There needs to be more records about trans rights and everything like that, but feeling like I already did that, I wanted to move on to write commentary on living from a trans perspective. I wanted to write the transgender response to the Rolling Stones’ Exile On Main St., Liz Phair’s Exile In Guyville and the Streets’ A Grand Don’t Come For Free. All those records are relationship records. There’s been an infinite amount of records talking about what love means from a cisgender perspective. I wanted to present the trans perspective on sex, love and heartbreak.” With Grace’s new motivation came a new outlook on the band, as well. Previous albums found the songwriting process to be a largely solitary experience, but she embraced the spirit of collaboration for Shape Shift With Me—so much so that when Cody Votolato of the Blood Brothers sent her some demos of songs he was working on for another project, she became inspired and ended up co-writing “Boyfriend” and “Norse Truth,” two of the album’s most memorable tracks, with him. “It was just about opening up to whatever comes my way karmically,” Grace says. “Whatever everyone in the band is willing to offer, I just wanted to be open to it. I didn’t want it to be like what it was in the past where it may have felt closed. I want it to be different.” In a career already full of classic punk records, Shape Shift With Me feels like the definitive Against Me! album—it’s poppy and catchy (“Rebecca,” “Suicide Bomber”), aggressive and in-your-face (“ProVision L-3,” “Dead Rats”), sentimental and longing (“Crash,” “All This And More”). Moreover, it’s the culmination of four years of existence as Laura Jane Grace—there’s no going back now, so she might as well embrace it. “While I’ve always wanted the moon and the stars, I have a certain amount of humbleness,” she admits. “I just want to play shows and make records and write songs. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do. Of course I always want the biggest and best things for those shows and records and songs, but when it comes down to it, I just love doing it. I have no other ambitions or career goals. “David Bowie put out 27 full-lengths. Prince put out 39 full-lengths,” Grace remarks. “That is so inspiring to me—working, creating art, creating records and let everyone else sort it out. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do and that’s what I will keep on doing.” Listen: http://www.againstme.net/

POTTY MOUTH
Potty Mouth are Western MA-based trio Abby Weems (guitar, lead vocals), Ally Einbinder (bass) and Victoria Mandanas (drums). Originating in 2011 from the hometown of guitar rock predecessors Dinosaur Jr., Potty Mouth emerged from a casual, "why not?" attitude when Einbinder, who met Mandanas at Smith college, set out to form a band with like-minded women who shared her interest in learning and growing together as musicians. Though no singer was chosen at the time of formation, Weems emerged as having a knack for melodies and lyric writing, and what started out as a casual pastime turned into a way of life; recording, making t-shirts, and planning tours soon came in natural succession. One year after their formation, the band recorded a 12" vinyl EP, entitled 'Sun Damage,' released through three small, independently-run labels. 'Sun Damage' garnered the attention of Pitchfork, who called the six-song EP an "an impressive, no-filler debut," as well as local big-hitters The Boston Globe, who named Potty Mouth one of the top five indie-rock bands to watch in 2013. In 2013, Potty Mouth signed with Brooklyn-based indie label Old Flame Records to release their debut full-length album, 'Hell Bent.' NPR music premiered the album, calling it "one of the best rock albums of the year." As Potty Mouth garnered national attention, the band began to tour more extensively, co-headlining their first full US tour with Perfect Pussy and Swearin' in summer 2014, as well as supporting artists like Waxahatchee and Juliana Hatfield. On August 21, 2015, the band debuted a five-song self-titled EP under their own imprint, Planet Whatever Records. Produced by John Goodmanson (Sleater-Kinney, Blonde Redhead, Bikini Kill) at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, the new EP shows off a new level of both songwriting and production for the trio. Refreshingly candid, singer-guitarist Abby Weems weaves sarcasm and melancholia into a passionate performance held together by drummer Victoria Mandanas and bassist Ally Einbinder's solid foundation. The crisper direction emphasizes the work the triad has put in since 2013's 'Hell Bent,' with more vocal harmonies and bigger production, recalling the sounds of influences like Veruca Salt and Nirvana.

FRAMEWORKS
Since their 2011 inception, Gainesville's Frameworks have become a favorite of many in the emotional hardcore scene. Creating music in the vein of Touché Amore, Explosions in the Sky, Modern Life Is War, and other uniquely powerful artists. After a string of EP releases, Frameworks released their "Loom" album on the Topshelf label in 2014. The album was well received worldwide by critics and listeners alike. In early 2016, Frameworks returned with their "Time Spent" EP. A well received release that showed the band broadening their approach through the use of darker, more experimental instrumentation. "Smother" is the highly anticipated sophomore album from Frameworks, and their first for the Deathwish label. The album was recorded by Matt McClellan (Being As An Ocean, O’ Brother, etc) at Glow In The Dark Studios and mastered by Brad Boatright (Converge, Self Defense Family, etc) at Audiosiege Mastering. "Smother" as a whole is a massive leap forward for Frameworks. The album dynamically pulses with hook-laden melodious riffs and moving emotional crescendos. All of it gushing with a rare creative beauty and maturity that will appeal to listeners from all corners of the underground music world. Listen: http://frameworksband.com/

BANNED IN DC: AN EVENING WITH PHOTOGRAPHER CYNTHIA CONNOLLY

Flywheel Arts Collective is pleased to host an evening with Cynthia Connolly, photographer and publisher of Banned in DC. In 1988, co-authored by Cynthia Connolly, Leslie Clague and Sharon Cheslow, Banned in DC is one of the first of its’ kind, illustrating and documenting the now legendary punk scene of Washington D.C. with hundreds of photos and flyers and stories about the bands, the venues and the people who populated the shows. For those who don’t know, this particular scene embodied a spirit of DIY that has come to be synonymous with punk, and it has continued to be an influence on many regional punk scenes around the world.

On April 1, from 5-7 pm Cynthia will share her stories and images, some from the book and additional images of ephemera and photos in a quick paced slide show that will tell the story of growing up in Los Angeles where she discovered both art and underground punk music as her calling, and how she got involved in the “scene”. The story unfolds in 1981, with a relocation to Washington, DC where we get to learn more of her involvement with a very small group of kids who contribute and create a world-wide inspirational music movement like no other.

Nearly 30 years later there is still a demand for Banned in D. C., and Cynthia has produced a seventh edition with an 8 page afterword added, which will be available for $25 cash at the event. The event is free but donations for Flywheel will be appreciated.

Q/A will follow with Cynthia, and our own resident DC punks Julie Cafritz (of bands Pussy Galore/Free Kitten) and Molly B. Burnham

UNDERSTANDING THE RESURGENCE OF WHITE POWER: A CONVERSATION WITH A FORMER WHITE SUPREMACIST

With hate crimes and bias-related incidents on the rise, there is growing concern surrounding the resurgence of white supremcist groups around the country. To understand how these organizations operate, their recruitment strategies, and the factors that have contributed to their proliferation, please join us for a community conversation with Mr. Christian Picciolini, a former white supremacist and the co-founder of Life After Hate. Mr. Picciolini will also share his experience of radicalization, as well as insights about the current socio-political context.

Speaker Bio:

Christian Picciolini was born and raised on the south side of Chicago in a working-class neighborhood called Blue Island, the birthplace of the American white power skinhead movement. At 14 years old, Picciolini became entrenched in the first neo-Nazi skinhead gang in the United States. From violence to weapons, Picciolini immersed himself in the racist skinhead culture at an early age and quickly became one of the movement’s most respected leaders and musical influencers.

After leaving the violent far-right hate movement he was part of during his youth, he began the painstaking process of rebuilding his life. Christian earned a degree in International Relations from DePaul University, began his own global entertainment media firm, and was appointed a member of the Chicago Grammy Rock Music Committee and board member for the Chicago Intl. Movies and Music Festival.

In 2016, Christian won an Emmy® Award for directing and producing ExitUSA's "There is life after hate" PSA, and has been nominated for four regional Emmy® Awards. He is an appointed United Nations-affiliated ambassador for iChangeNations and was honored with a National Statesman award. Christian is an associate for the USC Price 'Homegrown Violent Extremism' program and has worked as an adjunct professor at the college level. He contributed to Google Chairman Eric Schmidt's and Jared Cohen's New York Times bestseller, The New Digital Age.

Most notably, in 2009 he co-founded Life After Hate, a nonprofit helping people disengage from hate and violent extremism.

In 2015, he published his memoirs, Romantic Violence: Memoirs of an American Skinhead.

FROM RADICALIZATION TO REFORM: A CONVERSATION WITH MUBIN SHAIKH
The term “radicalization” has dominated the global conversation recently, brought to the forefront by the harrowing events in Charlottesville and Barcelona. How is militancy cultivated, drawing one to operate within an extremist group? What does the path back from violence look like? Few offer a more informed and personal perspective than Mr. Mubin Shaikh. A former Muslim extremist, he became an undercover operative for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and currently advises U.S. national security agencies on deradicalization and counter terrorism. Join us as Mr. Shaikh speaks about his work in the field and personal path away from extremism to rediscover his faith. Bio: Born and raised in Canada, Mubin Shaikh grew up with two conflicting and competing cultures. At the age of 19, he went to India and Pakistan where he had a chance encounter with the Taliban before their takeover of Afghanistan in 1995. Shaikh became fully radicalized as a supporter of the global Jihadist culture, recruiting others but the 9/11 attacks forced to him reconsider his views. He spent 2 years in Syria, continuing his study of Arabic and Islamic Studies and went through a period of full deradicalization. Returning to Canada in 2004, he was recruited by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and worked several CLASSIFIED infiltration operations on the internet, in chat-protected forums and on the ground with human networks. In late 2005, one of those intelligence files moved to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) for investigation. The "Toronto 18" terrorism case resulted in the conviction of 11 aspiring violent extremists after testifying over 4 years, in 5 legal hearings at the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. Shaikh has since obtained a Master of Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism (MPICT) and is considered an SME (Subject Matter Expert) in national security and counterterrorism, and radicalization & deradicalization to the United Nations Counter Terrorism Executive Directorate, NATO, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), CENTCOM, various special operations forces, the FBI and others. He has appeared on multiple U.S., British and Canadian media outlets as a commentator and is extensively involved with the ISIS social media and Foreign Fighter (including Returnees and rehabilitation) file. Shaikh is also co-author of the acclaimed book, 'Undercover Jihadi'. Co-sponsoring organizations: This event is co-sponsored by Critical Connections and Karuna Center for Peacebuilding and is part of their 'Transforming this Moment' series. It is made possible through the generous funding of Mass Humanities, whose grants inspire considered thought, conversations, and action through the humanities.

COMMUNITY DISCUSSION: ZINE LIBRARIES AND LIBRARY ZINES: HAVING A VOICE IN THE LIBRARY USING SELF-PUBLISHED FANZINES

Zines, or fanzines, have existed in various forms since the 1930s and 40s. Self published magazines on “special interests” like science fiction, books, music and movies eventually grew to encompass more complex topics during the punk era (1976-1994) like class, race, sexuality, gender, abuse, identity, and much more. Before the internet, these publications acted as a peer to peer network of like minded individuals who would hash out various issues that arose in their communities. With the explosion of zines in the last 30 years and their entrance into legitimate sources of cultural discourse and study came the establishment of zine libraries. Zine libraries take many forms (archival non-circulating, public, private, community run, state run, etc.). This panel, consisting of zine librarians and zine producers, will discuss the myriad of issues that arise when introducing zines into the library space.


Panelists

Steven Stover, works for Forbes Library, Northampton. He is a co-founder of the Forbes Library Zine Club, a drop-in club open to the public for anyone interested in zines, to provide a community for the mutual support of their creation and appreciation.


Michele Hardesty is currently Associate Professor of U.S. Literatures and Cultural Studies at Hampshire College, where she teaches courses on 20th and 21st century U.S. literatures, American Studies, and comics studies. In Fall 2017, she co-taught a course with Alana Kumbier called “Beyond the Riot: Zines in Archives and Digital Space,” whose development was funded by a Mellon grant in digital humanities and a Teagle grant in blended learning and cross-campus collaboration. She also currently volunteers at Interference Archive, a volunteer-run archive of social movement cultures in Brooklyn, NY.


Jeremy Smith is currently the Digital Projects Manager in Scholarly Communication at UMass Amherst. In his spare time, he volunteers at Flywheel, a volunteer-run non-profit performance arts space located in the old town hall in Easthampton. He was a founding member of the collective in 1999 and is also on the organization’s Zine Club, which catalogs, builds, and maintains the Flywheel Zine Collection.

Is your car a mystery to you? Tired of getting ripped off? Feeling helpless and betrayed? Insecure? We can’t promise to fix any of this, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Come to Flywheel in Easthampton for a Cars 101 crash course. Full agenda tbd, but we'll try to cover the basics what are tools you oughta have? What sort of maintenance do cars need? What should you look for when evaluating those sketchy Craigslist cars?

***IMPORTANT***: If you have any pertinent skill sets or knowledge you'd like to share, please let us know! Ideally this would be a collaborative community learning experience, and {legal disclaimer} it's not like we know thaaaat much.

Everyone is welcome, but please be aware this space has been set up primarily for folks who are marginalized in mechanical/automotive spaces on the basis of their identities.

LOCATION/ACCESSIBILITY: Flywheel has been kind enough to allow us into their space for this meeting. To benefit them, there will be a $3-5 sliding scale suggested donation at the door. There is a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

GETTING THERE: Easthampton is accessible by the R41 and the Nashawannuck Express PVTA buses. Additionally, if anyone is willing to offer rideshares, please feel free to comment with where you’re coming/going from and amt of space in your car. There is plentiful free parking around Flywheel.

ACTUAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Be safe! This session meant to cover very basic topics, and hopefully folks will walk away more knowledgeable and empowered about dealing with automobiles, but in no way should anything said herewithin necessarily replace professional advice or expertise.

SNACKS: There will be snacks.

Please rsvp via the Facebook event so we know what to expect (important for both general setup and snacks).

Allegra Krieger is currently based in New York performing in the city with her ever rotating band of sensitive & diverse musicians. She also often travels across the country to play in tiny bar rooms & sleep in her car. Her first record Circles was released October 2017, and her follow up is in the works.

SAM TALMADGE
Sam Talmadge is a songwriter, fingerpicker, and occasional piano player living in Boston Massachusetts. Drawing from the guitar styles of John Hurt and Elizabeth Cotten, the compositional rigor of L.V. Beethoven, and the lyricism and narrative of a long list of writers, Sam has fused these influences together into a new kind of song; compact, sincere, and at times, hilarious. The subject matter in Sam's songwriting ranges from unrequited love to fairy tales of climate change denial to the cathartic release of vomiting on a Sunday morning. In addition to writing and performing solo in Boston and along the east coast, Sam is a co-founder of the Boston based folk-quartet Ruthless Moon and the guitarist in the new rock band, DOGART.

SOUNDWORKS GATHERING # 5

JESSICA PAVONE / SOLO VIOLA
Jessica Pavone's recent works for solo viola and voice stem from years of concentrated long tone practice and an interest in repetition, song form, and sympathetic vibration. She combines her long tone rituals with delay, understated melodies and sparse lyrical content while continuously experimenting with new forms. Jessica is interested in the physicality of performing her somewhat larger-than-comfortable instrument and believes that cultivating physical bodies as a strong container for her thoughts is part of the creative process.

BROMP TREB / SOUND
Bromp Treb is the long running sound/music/performance project of artist Neil Cloaca Young. Bromp Treb is the clumsy body-music/noise of eager uncertainty. Celebrating crooked rhythms and complex textures interjected with joyful spasms of dysfunction, Bromp Treb is built on an improvised and intuited foundation of electronic sound synthesis, samples, tapes, voice and percussion.

PARANOID (SWEDEN- SOUTHERN LORD)
Paranoid is a Swedish hardcore/raw-punk/metal band from Froson/Ostersund, formed in 2012. The foundation of the band’s savagery is in the Disclose-inspired noise blended with Venom-styled black metal, conjuring a destructive vortex of violently rotating northern winds of head banging chaos and pure D-beat fury. However, their adoration for Japanese hardcore is blindingly evident too. Stitched together, this intense sound combines the best traditions of Swedish råpunk and loud Japanese insanity.

HIGH COMMAND (WORCESTER- ON SOUTHERN LORD)
Neck wrecking insanity. HIGH COMMAND projects a scathing display of scorched earth vocals and spiraling divebomb riffs, soaked in napalm leads, and percussive devastation. With fantasy-inspired lyrical scourge, the band drives their message forth with might and conviction.

DIRT DEVIL (WESTERN MA/PROVIDENCE)
Dreamy punk with a strong overdriven punch, sleepy lullaby compositions with a surf pop haunt. It’s heavy like your eyes when it’s time to drift into a dream, but overdriven enough to match the volume of the thoughts that keep you awake. Come witness the real dark side of the moon.

CORRODE (WESTERN MA/CENTRAL MA)
Distortion turned up to 11 and beyond. The soundtrack to the Age of Ruin.

SOUNDWORKS GATHERING #7

SHUMOTO & THE BYRDE / GUITAR, AMPLIFIED BOWLS, WATER
Shumoto & The Byrde is the mostly improvised duo of Austin Hatch and Jefferson Pitcher. Using multiple amplifiers and sound sources, they create a sonic landscape of clanging, clicking, drifting, and swelling drones, with plenty of melody and an intense focus on overtones and space. With a deep interest in blurring the lines of composition and improvisation, theirs is a vast, meditative, and at times explosive sound world. Jefferson Pitcher is a guitarist and composer originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. He spent his formative years involved in the DIY Berkeley punk rock scene, at 925 Gilman St, which still influences him today. While much of his work explores free improvisation, he also draws heavily on his gift for melody, as well as on the simple repetitions of minimalism, the space and North African influnce of flamenco, and a history of performing and recording in the West Cost indie rock scene as a singer-song writer, where he fronted the band Above The Orange Trees. Since that time, Pitcher has released music on Standard Recording Co., Digitalis Recordings, Camera Obscura Records, Tape Drift Records, Moonplace, Dutch East India, Words on Music, Tract Records, and his own label Mudita Records. He has performed and recorded with a wide range of artists including: Pauline Oliveros, Fred Frith, Ikue Mori, Okkyung Lee, Scott Amendola, Rosie Thomas, Christian Kiefer, J.Michael Gerkin, Denison Witmer, Sarah Weaver, Mark Dresser, Mike Bullock, Tim Keiper, Doug Van Nort, Jonathan Chen, David Gibson, Kristina Forester, Ron Guensche and many more. He has been featured twice on NPR's "All Things Considered" and has been well reviewed by Pitchfork, Blurt, The Melbourne Sun, Prefix, and Harp magazines. Pitcher holds an MFA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he studied improvisation and composition with Pauline Oliveros and Tomie Hahn. Austin Hatch is the frontman of Americana indie band Matt Byrde, and the primary composer of the duo song-based project Shadowcat. He daydreams about fronting a traditional jazz quartet with a perfectly subtle trumpeter.

WENDY EISENBERG / GUITAR IMPROVISATIONS
Wendy Eisenberg is an improvising guitarist, banjo player, vocalist and songwriter. She has written for and performed in numerous projects, including the critically acclaimed experimental band Birthing Hips, described by NPR as "brainy noisy punk based in sonic adventure, technical mastery, and rejection of the status quo." Her work as an improviser has led to collaborations with Ted Reichman, Joe Morris, Damon Smith, John Zorn, Matt Mitchell, and Zach Rowden, aming many others. Eisenburg has premiered work by Mitchell, Zorn, Maria Schneider, and Bill Holman, as well as the work of her many peers. In addition to her work as a collaborative artist, she has two solo careers: improviser/composer, and songwriter. Wendy's debut improvisational solo guitar record will come out on VDSQ in 2018. Her "songs" album, Time Machine was released by Feeding Tube records on September 7th. She also has a trio album with Trevor Dunn and Ches Smith on Tzadik records coming out in October.

CRITICAL CONNECTIONS: NOT IN OUR NAME: CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN AMERICAN WARS
Civilian deaths in American-backed wars are likely to increase under the Trump administration, which has substantially intensified bombing campaigns in Iraq, Syria, Somalia and Afghanistan. And yet many of us remain oblivious to the civilian toll of U.S. military interventions abroad. What explains this lack of awareness and what are its implications? What are our obligations as citizens when civilian casualties in U.S. operations take place in our name? Join us to hear Professor John Tirman (Author, The Death of Others: The Fate of Civilians in America's Wars) respond to these questions and more.

SOUNDWORKS GATHERING #9

MATAN RUBINSTEIN & CARL CLEMENTS
Matan Rubinstein & Carl Clements both have eclectic musical interests and inspirations. Their shared background in both improvised and compositional approaches ranging from Western classical and contemporary music, jazz, Hindustani classical music and numerous other genres, provides fertile ground for spontaneous collaboration. Their approach in this performance will be primarily improvisational, though both seek to maintain a strong sense of compositional integrity with this freedom. Matan will be playing keyboards, and Carl peforms on tenor & soprano saxophones, flute, alto flute, and the North Induan bansuri.

JONATHAN HULTING-COHEN & KIMBERLEE PEREZ
May Old Acquaintance Be Forgot is an experimental collaboration between a musician-academic and an academic-storyteller. Combining music with storytelling, Jonathan Hulting-Cohen and Kimberlee Perez address, interweave, and dialogue across the tensions, pleasures, and connections that emerge from the colliding and disparate spheres they work within, embody and live: classical music and performance art, upper-middle and working-class, and white-Jewish and mixed-race Chicana. The two met as participants in the UMass Interdisciplinary Studie Institute where each eyed the other's world with curiosity and uncertainty and which led to an unexpected New Year's Eve at the symphony.

TED LEO
Ted Leo is one of the finest songwriters of our generation, even if it’s not entirely clear what generation that is. Starting in New York Hardcore with Citizen’s Arrest, making the ‘90s safe for power-pop and Weller-esque hair with Chisel, then singing our turbulent lives like we were smarter than we were with The Pharmacists, and most recently providing equal parts sweetness and solace with Aimee Mann as The Both, Ted never let us down.

THALIA ZEDEK
Thalia Zedek is an unparalleled voice in rock music.Her music straddles the line between intimate and visceral. Zedek has received wide acclaim for her intense vocal performances and guitar playing in past projects Come, Uzi, Live Skull, and most recently her new trio E with Gavin McCarthy (Karate) and Jason Sidney Sanford (Neptune). Since the dissolution of Come, Zedek has focused her solo efforts on more vulnerable, stripped back arrangements. Her new album Fighting Season combines the grit of her past with the fragility of her solo releases, spinning tales of discord and struggle from the personal to the political and featuring performances by old friends Chris Brokaw (Come) and J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.). Through her exceptional songwriting and performances, Thalia Zedek’s fervent passion can be felt more than ever on Fighting Season, from blustering swirls of dissonance to hushed whispers.

JENNIFER O'CONNOR

Surface Noise, Jennifer O’Connor’s sixth full-length release and the first since 2011’s I Want What You Want, is an album about the survivalist’s instinct to persevere in the face of all of life’s delightful and often horrifying twists and turns.

An album of mini-documents, Surface Noise explores the gravity of imminent loss, cautious hope and the touch-and-go nature of daily life. More importantly, perhaps, it features some of O’Connor’s best songs. You will not find a catchier piece of pop music in O’Connor’s catalog than first single, “Start Right Here”. Propelled by longtime drummer Jon Langmead’s driving beats and a buoyant bassline from Yo La Tengo’s James McNew (also the band on much of her 2006 Matador debut Over the Mountain, Across the Valley and Back to the Stars), “Start Right Here” is a statement of purpose about hanging on and hanging in despite whatever chaos is afloat.

ADAM REID & THE GO BETWEENS

DRUMS AND DRONES
Drums and Drones is the solo project of Brian Chase, drummer for rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs and NYC's experimental music scene. Inspired initially by La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela's legendary Dream House installation, the Drums and Drones project aims to evoke meditative qualities through the use of resonant tones and sonic subtleties derived from drums and percussion. Drums and Drones: Decade, a retrospective triple album with 144 page book, was released in 2018 on Brian’s own Chaikin Records.

WENDY EISENBERG
Wendy Eisenberg is an improviser, composer, and songwriter who uses guitar, pedals, the tenor banjo, the computer, the synthesizer and the voice.

VIC RAWLINGS
Vic Rawlings (amplifier/ prepared cello, speaker elements/ exposed circuitry) is a musician, instrument builder, sound installation artist, filmmaker, and teacher based in Easthampton, Massachusetts. He employs a still and unstable sound language, bridging extreme austerity and visceral excess. He has designed, built, and continues to augment two instruments to realize this language. His amplified/prepared cello has extensive and invasive preparations- some directly based on obscure baroque designs. He also uses an electronic instrument constructed from the exposed circuit boards of sound processors, effectively producing an analog synthesizer with a highly unstable interface. This electronic instrument is acoustically realized by a flexible array of exposed speaker elements, chosen for their often unpredictable and idiosyncratic acoustic qualities. His solo performances challenge conventional uses of time and refuse alliance with dominant trends in improvised music.

DIVE!
DIVE! will feature dance performances by Olana Flynn, Madison Palffy, Molly McBride, Em Papineau, Sofia Engelman

Molly McBride and Madison Palffy are a new species of plant-animal that feasts on trash piles and communicates in cystalline tones. We are regenerative, ecstatic golden creatures. We might be shimmering like plants in the night. Integrating practices in improvisational movement and sound, "Between Schematics" is a one-person dance performance that uses photographic tchnique or mishap (depending on how you look at it) of double exposure to explore femininity, queer possibility, memory, liminality, and the spaces in-between. Created and performed by Olana Flynn. Em Papineau and Sofia Engelman are going to do something new. In the past, they have been instant saviors, fake cash deep divers, denim twins, fast food patrons, tea sipping homemakers, human shoe racks, and wearers of trash hats. They like to collide, to feel impact, to get bruised, to get raw, to get unstable. Ultimately, they're inseparable.

DEEP LISTENING WORKSHOP
This workshop aims to connect musicians, meditators, and other curious listeners to the practice of Deep Listening over the course of six weeks. Drop-ins for single sessions are welcome, although attending multiple sessions will allow for further refinement of the practice. Musicians with instrumental training in any tradition are welcome to bring their instrument, but no musical background is required to participate in the workshops.

Deep Listening Workshop @ Flywheel With Alex Rodríguez Saturdays, July 27-August 31 1-2 pm Suggested donation: $10 (1 class) or $50 (6 classes) Half of proceeds support continued operations at Flywheel Deep Listening is a collective sound practice developed by queer feminist composer and improviser Pauline Oliveros (1932-2016), which she taught and refined throughout her long life as a leading experimentalist in North America. Drawing on her experiences with music, Zen meditation, and other eclectic influences, the method allows for focused investigation of our capacity to listen—to sounds, to one another, and to ourselves. Alex Rodríguez, a recent arrival in Easthampton from Portland, Oregon, has been studying the Deep Listening approach since 2012. These workshops will serve as the capstone project of his certification in the Center for Deep Listening’s teacher training program. Dr. Rodríguez has performed creative music around the world since graduating from Amherst College over a decade ago. He recently earned a PhD in Ethnomusicology from UCLA, where his researched focused on jazz clubs around the world and the creative communities that sustain them in Los Angeles, USA; Santiago, Chile; and Novosibirsk, Siberia.

JUAN WAUTERS
Juan Wauters is a Queens, NY based singer-songwriter who travels the world with his classical guitar singing songs of life and love. He has released two records this year, "La Onda de Juan Pablo" and "Introducing Juan Pablo", both on NY label Captured Tracks. buy tickets here!

JESUS VIO
In his solo music, performing under his given name Jesus Vio, he seeks to make diverse records, play with various collaborators, and commission a variety of artists for merchandise, Jesus's overall artistic practice is to remain radically true to his creative self as a means of challenging nihilism, materialism, and loneliness in our contemporary culture. He hopes to contribute to positive changes in people, by having the field of art become responsible for the psychological development of more loving societies.

STONER WILL & THE NARKS
Frequently misspelled Stoner Will and the Narks is a band born a couple decades late. An essential mix of Gen X sarcasm and corporate disdain with the unique cultural touchstones of a generation dubbed responsible for killing everything from napkins to department stores, their name alone is a string of cheeky references. Built on the biting quips of drummer and flutist Steph Jacco — who often comes up with song titles — and complemented by bassist Brian Zayatz’s skepticism of the police, SWTN has something for everyone (who likes sarcasm and loathes cops).

JUAN WAUTERS of QUEENS, NY comes to the FLYWHEEL!

FILM SHOWING: DAWN OF THE LIGHT
NEW FILM prepared for the Bicentenary celebrations of members of the Baha'i Faith, to which celebrations all are welcome! The film follows the personal search for truth and meaning undertaken by eight people from different parts of the world. Each one describes the journey to discovering that God has sent two Divine Manifestations for today, the Bab and Baha'u'llah, Who are revolutionizing human thought and behavior. The stories of the eight individuals are explored against the backdrop of the remarkable life of the Bab, the forerunner of Baha'u'llah, whose 200th birthday Baha'is are celebrating this October.

CELEBRATION OF THE 200TH BIRTHDAY OF THE BAB
Members of the Baha'i communities of Easthampton, Wendell, Hadley and Southampton invite you to the Dawn of the Light celebration observing the 200th anniversary of the birth of the Bab. The Bab is one of the twin Founders of the Baha'i Faith, which is today a vibrant worldwide community of people from many races and cultures. The Bab, whose name translates in English to mean the Gate or Door, announced the coming of age of humanity. Some call Him the Morning Star or the Dawn of the Light.

FOOD JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACY

Trainer: LaDonna Sanders Redmond is an activist and freedom fighter. Working on a range of issues from reproductive justice to developing alternatives to incarceration for first-time drug offenders to urban agriculture to developing food co-ops, Ms. Redmond believes that every community has the intellect to heal itself. She is currently the Equity and Inclusion Manager at River Valley Co-op.

Class Description: While there are plenty of folks talking about food and agriculture, the connections between race, class, and gender are not discussed or are ignored. This presentation is an intersectional approach to food justice which focuses on dispelling the myth that 'food desert' is a phrase describing communities that require a just and fair food system. This presentation is the foundational workshop to help participants understand the why and what of Food Justice, changing the narrative of the Food Justice Movement to better represent how historical racial oppression causes food injustice today.

VOCAL VOYAGERS WORKSHOP We gather to create spontaneously with our voices, using both free-form exploration and improvisational structures. What will it sound like? We won't know till we go - from ethereal to funky to undescribable! No experience necessary - just a willingness to listen and "play well with others." Facilitated by Glenn Smith, who has led circles in CA, MA, and Costa Rica over the last 14 years. More info (and audio samples) at http://www.soundseeds.com/vocal_voyagers/ $8-15 sliding scale SPRING SERIES: Wednesdays: March 11, March 25, April 8, April 22, May 6, May 20 from 6-7:30 (March 11 & April 8) 6-8 other dates WHAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE BEEN SAYING: "This is splendid fun and wonderful to sing in such a soul-filled way!" – Barbara Morningstar, San Luis Obispo, CA “If you have never experienced a singing circle with Glenn Smith, it is a playful, soulful off the hook experience in community. SERIOUSLY-SERIOUS FUN!!!” Wendy Marie, Fort Collins, CO "I appreciate the circle you create- I am not sure how to express it but it feels safe to me in your circles and whenever you are around to sing my heart out- right - wrong- loud- soft whatever!!! You call that out in me and I thank you for that. There is a freedom in your style.” - Marna Cathleen, Eugene, OR “I loved it, I didn’t know I could sing! Omg I absolutely loved it! I’ve been wanting to experiment and practice with my voice. To find out what’s in there and how to bring it out. I have been shy with my voice, and your gathering gave me the ability to give myself permission to release whatever is in there. I had such fun with it! I love creating my own Song, teaching the pieces of it, and then conducting the four groups of us. I’m so happy today just thinking about it, I’ve been thinking about it all morning long, and I’ve been practicing with my voice and song. Thank you so much Glenn! Another liberation for Jim!” - Jim Flavin, Concord, MA “Glenn did a great job in holding space for all of us! Lets do this more often! I left feeling so energized, joyful, grounded in my body.” Bonnie Eskie, Chico, CA "Glenn creates a beautiful space to allow others to open to their own creativity and the music that is always all around us all :-)" – Amanda West, Santa Cruz, CA "Glenn Smith has a special gift, an art, a way of bringing beautiful harmonies out of people, getting the creativity to shake out of their bones and into the world through sound! He does this with song circles, vocal voyages that open up all, equally included to be their most creative and authentic selves through song, and the magic of sound creating a vocal community. Some of my best nights in Santa Cruz were at Vocal Voyagers, Glenn artfully leading us into our best selves with his gentle guidance, soft voice and capable leadership. I recommend anyone interested to take this opportunity to voyage vocally with Glenn. It delights and brings beauty to our world, creating a sound unique to a group of wonderful people, a magic never to be heard again..." -Philip Mirkin, Santa Cruz, CA, & Fiji. “Really loved this workshop - I've been a couple times now and it's magic each time” – Jon Holland, Gloucester, MA “I had such an amazing good time, and I felt so energized afterward. It didn't take much effort to get this group to sync up and let go. It left feeling grateful for so much healing. Yes! Thank you, Glenn!” - Christo Purdin, Santa Cruz, CA What will YOU say?

ONLINE FUNDRAISER Q&A WITH IAN MACKAYE
Since the nationwide lockdown in March, Flywheel, like all other live music venues, has been unable to hold events or rent out our space. Shows and private rentals account for over 80% of our annual income. As a volunteer-run non-profit without these essential funds coming in, our future sustainability is at risk. To buttress these losses, we will be holding online events in an effort to keep funds coming in. Donations of any size are welcome and will help us weather this unprecedented storm.

In an effort to help, Ian MacKaye, longtime musician, producer, archivist and co-owner of Dischord Records, who has been a member of The Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Embrace, Fugazi, The Evens, and now, Coriky, has volunteered to participate in an experimental online question and answer session via Zoom moderated by Flywheel volunteer and Women of Rock Oral History Project [http://www.womenofrock.org/] coordinator, Tanya Pearson.

To participate, please make a tax-deductible donation at this PayPal link [bit.ly/flywheelbenefit]. You will be emailed a Zoom link before the event. Please make sure the email you use is current so you will receive the link!

FLYWHEEL INSIDE OUT PRESENTS:

MAIN STEAM STOP VALVE
A heretofore unimagined hybrid of a punky power trio and a dreamy experimental rock band, No less an authority than Nels Cline, the high priest of art-rock guitarists, has called Mike Baggetta a “guitar poet.” That poetry, alternately gnarled and flowing, is on fine display in Main Steam Stop Valve, the second album by (and the decompressed namesake of) mssv, an experimental rock trio featuring Baggetta, the legendary punk bassist Mike Watt, and the versatile drummer Stephen Hodges.

GLOYD
Improvising quintet from Western Massachusetts and Southern Vermont featuring Ruth Garbus (voice), Andy Allen (reeds, flute), Wendy Eisenberg (guitar), Donald Warner Shaw (bass and sax) and Neil 'Cloaca' Young (percussion and other things).

FLUNG
If there is a spirit in the jazz chorus, that fuses with the intention of the beat loop, flung's loop based arrangement releases a terrifying freedom within that platform to unlock the power of both. from the improvised moments on the keys, to the pulling, noisy grooves that 4/4 beat you into a pocket - flung is pure moment. all the emotional grounding of house, with all the intent of jazz changes undercut with a deep sense of harmony and movement.

BLUE TOED
blue toed is a sample based explorer, consistently brushing with the heart of dance/moving the core of their tracks from the kick, to the synth lead, to the afterimage of the harmony- with the intent of drawing listeners into engrossing polyrhythms, the vocals that overtone their work reinforce a fresh intimacy that reassures the otherworldliness of his arrangements: a mosaic, a changing shifting image rotating slowly, and changing color, inviting interaction.

SLOTH BEAR
Sloth Bear is a couple of members of Vex Party (blind dude, beard-o). Instead of trying to keep it tight in a loose way, this time we're going to try cutting loose, but still keeping it sorta tight. Ya might have to squint.

This time, we'll be convening at the Hadley Public Library, 50 Middle Street, Hadley, MA 01035. "Public" is right there in the name, so, obviously, naming a ticket price, or even a suggested-donation amount, would be outrageous. We will, however, gladly and gratefully accept any support toward getting Ava & Mike the bucks they'll be earning!

OCCULT CLASSIC
OcCult Classic are the evil eye staring down the eclipse without flinching. They’re the apocalypse in a glass of hemlock. They’re serpentine sounds gouging petrified wood in a forest of unknown dimension. OcCult Classic are the alchemist’s pestle grinding at the void, the master magician in the astral desert, the snake at dawn. While mortals sleep, OcCult Classic conjure serrated ghosts in the knife drawer. Even mercury sheds its skin when the band reaches its destination at the hex’s nadir; this is where the lava in the lamp comes from. (OcCult Classic is a mystery group of longtime valley rockers)

HOSTED BY: LORELEI ERISIS

Flywheel presents: A Benefit for the Sexual Minorities Archives. Holyoke Media. 1 Court Plaza, Holyoke, MA Masks required & free at door to be more accessible to immunocompromised folks

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Sexual Minorities Archives (SMA), one of the oldest and largest LGBTQI archives in the United States, located in Holyoke, MA. Now occupying most of an historic Victorian house affectionately called “The Pink Lady,” the Archives has been stewarded for most of its five decades by curator Ben Power and many dedicated community volunteers and board directors.

As a community resource with a mission to remain outside of institutional/university ownership, the SMA is currently struggling to make ends meet–to pay monthly utilities and basic operating costs. As a national treasure located right in our backyard, we are hosting this benefit to help the SMA continue its work as a steward of 10,000s of pieces of queer media and a community resources for researchers, students, activists and LGBTQI folks looking to understand more about the people and movements that make up their lineage.

Please visit the SMA’s website, Facebook page and Instagram for more info as well as episodes from the “Out of the Archives” podcast.

PETER DISTEFANO (OF PORNO FOR PYROS) & MIKE BAGGETTA (OF MSSV)

Setting forth as a guitar duo unlike any other, this very first Punk Jazz tour across the U.S. finds Peter DiStefano (of Porno for Pyros) and Mike Baggetta (of mssv) exploring no-boundaries improvised music, informed by their lives and songs, with just 2 electric guitars, electronics and maybe some vocals. Think Albert Ayler meets Stooges meets Jimi Hendrix and you might be getting close...

A founding member of the alternative rock band Porno For Pyros in 1992 with Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins and Martyn LeNoble, guitarist Peter Distefano has been heard all over the world for decades with their first album reaching no. 3 on the Billboard Top 200. In addition to his work with Pyros, Peter has featured in various projects with Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots, Peter Murphy of Bauhaus, and the band Hellride with Mike Watt. He is also known for his extensive recent work as a composer and musician for many soundtracks in film, television and gaming.

Iconoclastic guitarist Mike Baggetta is most recently known for leading his post-genre power trio mssv (with the legendary rhythm team of drummer Stephen Hodges and bassist Mike Watt) through multiple U.S. tours and album releases over the past 5 years, after releasing 2 additional albums of original music alongside Watt and drummer Jim Keltner. Baggetta's music has always been adventurous in spirit and style, creating his identifiably undefinable sound with his guitar, voice and various musical gadgets. He has also appeared on stage and on recordings with Nels Cline, J Mascis, Petra Haden and David Torn.

VIMANA

Vimana is a "heavy jazz" trio (Brian Rodrigues, bass; Bruce Todd, drums; Leo Hwang, guitar) based in Montague and mix equal parts rock, funk, and jazz into a stone cauldron.

"The tunes on Space Triangle of Love have more structure, and feel more intentional: these guys know where they want to go, and have a notion of how they want to get there. Plus, they have chops. Guitarist Leo Hwang dials in a variety of tones and textures, bassist Brian Rodrigues is equally at home on big, splatty basslines [...]and subtle accents, [...]while drummer Bruce Todd steers the tune [...]. Hwang, Rodrigues and Todd are each capable of playing with flash, but their prime directive is serving the song." Eric R. Danton, Freak Scene

Vimana creates all original jazz fusion compositions that have a sound that is contemporary but reflects in our influences from the 1960s and 1970s and weaves together cultural roots from Korea, to Portugal, to America.
