*Black Iron Trio*

http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/black-iron-trio



Black Iron Trio is the newest project formed by New Orleans precussionist,
Milton Villarrubia, III.  This trio features J.A. “Dino” Deane (Lapsteel
dulcimer and electronics), Carlos Santistevan (acoustic upright bass), and
Milton Villarrubia, III (drum kit with effects).  Using improvisation as a
vehicle for thier pieces, the trio explores the dynamics of music by
combining the completely acoustic upright bass with two low volume
amplified instruments that are then processed through effects boxes.   At
times mellow and blue and other times thick and ferocious grinding rules
the sonic sheets of sound, always with a focus on maintaning the dynamics
of the music to allow the listener to always feel the intimacy of the
upright bass.   By combining ukelele, dulcimer, bass and drums  in this
environment, Black Iron Trio is creating a new form of electro-acoustic
folk music at its best.



Deane and Santistevan have played together in numerous projects including:* Out
of Context * <http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/out-of-context>(w/ Deane
as conductor), *The Late Severa
Wires*<http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/late-severa-wires> and
Taiji Pole.   Villarrubia and Santistevan have been playing music together
since 1999 and have been cohorts in numerous projects that have ranged from
fictitous avant-garde talk show house band to thier raucous-teenage-duo *iNK

*GoGoSnapRadio*

The Santa Fe based alt pop duo, GoGoSnapRadio, is coming through your town.
Jeremy Bleich (from the former avant garde trio, birth) keyboards, sampler,
glockenspiel, vocals, guitar, trash can lid, bass drum and found objects,
and Sarah-Jane Moody (lead vocalist from the former all girl alt country
band the Dolly Ranchers) lead vocals, metals, bells, and found objects make
up the duo GoGoSnapRadio.



The music is a lyrical exploration that fuses odd metered pop with
electronic and percussive timbres. Playing several instruments at once, the
two orchestrate an eclectic blend of sound that invokes a trashy and honest
tenderness. Bleich’s background in classical composition and experimental
music adds to Moody’s rhythmic, lyrical, and sometimes gritty vocal styles
as they navigate a junkyard soundscape atop the asymmetrical vehicle that
is GoGoSnapRadioís songwriting style. Think a combination between Tom
Waits, Patti Smith, and Bjork.
   Prey for Brain

http://www.norumba.com/index.php/pray-for-brain



What happens when two Buddhists and a Muslim meet to make music? Arabilly.
Countryeastern. Indofunk. Sufisurf. Jazz. World. Jam.  Music to help you
Pray For Brain. Pray for Brain is not your auntie’s world music band, nor
your uncle’s country twang, nor your grandad’s  jazz vinyl:  think 70s era
Miles Davis, Chet Atkins and late Coltrane playing with the White Stripes
and Isaac Hayes on a Calcutta rooftop with a bird’s eye view to Morocco.
Johnny Cash and Bengali icon Rabrindranath Tagore may sit in, too.



Pray For Brain is an evolution of Sama Duo, where  Mustafa Stefan Dill
(guitars, oud) and Jefferson Voorhees (drums) brought a telepathic level of
interplay to their groove-oriented energetic improvisations, delivered with
a gutsysouth Asian and Middle Eastern twist. Pray For Brain binds their
diverse musical influences into a unified, coherent soundscape: skillful
writing frames artful, telepathic dialogues that draw on a deep core of
both cutting-edge and ancient improvising methods from India, Africa and
the Middle East. The trio offers their voice with an energetic finesse
wrapped in a rhythmically-driven, wide-ranging rock/funk/country/jazz ethos.

  The Proxemics

http://highmayhem.org/artists/music/the-proxemics



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 all 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.
