High Mayhem is excited to welcome back Lonesome Leash following his 
mind-blowing performance last fall. If you witnessed Walt's performance 
last time then you know how amazing this will be.

Lonesome Leash is the solo moniker of New Orleans-based songwriter and 
multi-instrumentalist Walt McClements. Known for previous involvement in 
Dark Dark Dark, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Why Are We Building Such A 
Big Ship?, McClements, as Lonesome Leash, channels all of his musical 
experiences into a lean and gorgeously messy solo affair.

Anchored by the sinuous accordion sound that's become a McClements 
trademark, Lonesome Leash takes mad aesthetic stabs, incorporating drum 
loops, lush feedback and brass flourishes, in the end creating a sort of 
future-rustic musical environment. McClements explains: "I'd always been 
interested in affecting the accordion to make it sound more like a 
synthesizer, and more than a synthesizer, as well as including drum 
machines and electronics into what normally would --- or could be --- 
very traditional sounding textures."

Live, the project takes the form of a one man band, with McClements 
deftly navigating drums, accordion, trumpet and vocals. A spectacle in 
and of itself, the true achievement is how quickly one forgets the 
multi-tasking going on, as the arrangements, sounds and words quickly 
overshadow any thoughts that this may just be technical gimmickry.

The evening opens with the return of our very own Cloacas! Following 
their triumphant appearance on the Santa Fe Band Stand last summer.

Listening to Cloacas is like traveling sideways in time. This ensemble 
invokes elements of folk, jazz, americana, classical and American gothic 
styles as well as whatever their acoustic instruments inspire. They 
present a humorous but sincere irony that is sometimes bittersweet and 
melancholic, and sometimes gangly-legged and goofy. They have been 
described as a tiny mountain orchestra in a wooden box with rusty hinges.
