*VENUS BOGARDUS
*
Venus Bogardus is a Trans-Atlantic post-punk band formed in England and
relocated to the Santa Fe, NM area, playing national shows and UK shows on
return visits. The band is inspired by "no-wave-new wave", and experimental
literature.

Founding members James Reich (vocals, guitar) and Hannah Levbarg (vocals,
bass guitar) met in 2002 as fans of Richard Hell’s writing and music, fell
in love, opened (and closed) a nationally acclaimed independent bookshop in
Bath, England before collaborating on Venus Bogardus in 2005. James is a
published author and poet. Hannah, originally from Texas, is Richard Hell’s
Web forum moderator (since 2003). The couple is fictionalized in the book
Julie & Julia by Julie Powell.

In 2007 Venus Bogardus was chosen as one of the six best emerging bands in
Britain by Glastonbury Festival and a panel of judges and critics from Q
Magazine and BBC Radio 1. They also played a headline set at Ladyfest
Bristol and headlined Frankfurt’s New Glam Underground Festival. Wire
magazine selected a demo version of the title track for 2007’s Motorman for
its compilation CD in March of that year.

*The PROXEMICS*

Founded in early 2009, The Proxemics are an autonomous music project with a
revolving cast of musicians led by lynch pin and frontman Alex Neville (The
brilliant Dullards, A. Barnhouse, Audible Whispering 1/2 Quartet).

The Proxemics are a stripped down assembly, sometimes appearing as a
garage-based, dirty wall of sound, sometimes as deconstructed balladeers
offering you their hearts on their sleeves. Neville unites crunchy, angular
alt-rock with a singer-songwriter sensibility while never letting go of his
experimental roots. Mimicking the definition of their moniker, The Proxemics
are at times both distant and intimate, treating their audience to an
emotional tug-of-war. The songs appear effortless on the surface, but upon
deeper investigation they become a complex system of asymmetrical forms with
sonic threads and noise, weaving songs into a larger, continuous theme.

The shifting members of The Proxemics are often long-time members of the
High Mayhem Emerging Arts Collective, also based out of Santa Fe, New
Mexico, which has helped shape the City Different’s unique underground scene
for the last ten years.

Alex Neville (Guitar, Mandolin, Vocals), Antione Pasquier (Guitar), Peter
Duggan (Bass) and Lukas Carr (Drums).
