JOZEF VAN WISSEM
…
“Composer and lutenist Jozef van Wissem is devoted to what he terms “The Liberation of the Lute”…. His music is uncluttered and direct, with a viscerally hypnotic and emotional impact,delivered with an ascetic intensity reflected both in his Biblical titles and his No Wave influences. An incessantly touring musician, van Wissem’s hypnotic live shows have taken him all over the world.” http://www.jozefvanwissem.com/
JON ERIKSEN
“Jon Eriksen is a visual artist and noise musician. His artworks deal with extreme cultures, and particularly with the subcultures and dialectics of extreme music and film. His video works are made from found material; he utilizes short snippets from television and feature films and works with them in loops and cut-up sequences. The video works are dominated by collisions, noise theory, and overdrive aesthetics.” http://joneriksen.com/
NATE BONTRAGER
“Nathan Bontrager is an active and wide-ranging cellist and educator. Currently based out of New Haven, CT, he performs frequently in the New York/New Haven area in addition to touring both nationally and internationally. While classically trained (MM from the University of Maryland), Bontrager has taken the technical foundation laid in years of study into the worlds of experimental, folk, and early music(s).” http://nathanbontrager.com/

Very glad to announce the return of Glenn Jones to the Elm City. And
while Glenn was here not too long ago, he has been very busy. First
off, he’s just released a new LP, his first on Thrill Jockey, and it
is been getting great reviews. ”The Wanting” finds him at the top of
his game, it really doesn’t get any better. This coming from a man
who…
“Before embarking on his solo career, Glenn put out nine albums with
the Boston based psych band Cul de Sac over the course of their 20
year history, some of which included collaborations with Damo Suzuki
and John Fahey.” Not too shabby, nope, not at all.
But it gets even better: Glenn is the editor of a new John Fahey
archival collection, “Your Past Comes Back to Haunt You (The Fonotone
Years 1958-1965)” out now on the esteemed Dust-to-Digital record
label.
Just when you think you’ve heard it all, he’s back for more.
Thankfully. And you catch him right here in New Haven, at Never
Ending Books. Come see this masterful finger picker shred on his
acoustic guitar, no amp necessary. Just a man, his six string, and
some modified capos. This will not disappoint. Come one, come all.

Colorguard is the hidden gem of New Haven. Her sets are always unique
and special. Some folks may remember Kryssi Battalene as one half of
(the now de-funked) “Popeye’s Garage”, the Elm City’s favorite
off-the-map, off-the-radar, off-the-planet performance space that
hosted many incredible shows in its brief life. Some folks may
recognize her as the axe-wielder in The Mountain Movers. All will
agree, she is out of this world! Please arrive early and catch this
rising star. Her sets range from the sublime to the visceral. This
will no doubt be very special!

ALL AGES!
8pm
It’s been a lifetime since we last saw Gringo Star and the boys have been busy busy busy. They’ve recently signed with Gigantic Music and their latest release “Count Yer Lucky Stars” was produced by Ben Allen. Old school folks will remember their original band “A Fir-Ju Well” as they played New Haven countless times before playing as Gringo Star…these fellas are practically honorary Elm Citizens. They’ve got a catchy blend of southern fried psych rock, drenched in vocal harmonies and song hooks…you won’t resist!
Check out their new video: http://vimeo.com/27817607
The Mountain Movers are opening the show and let me tell you, we are extremely excited to see our old friends. See you Thursday!

Heavy Hands
Sea Of DRONES

21+over
It’s been ages since Heavy Hands have brought their blend of psychedelic rock for Elm Citizens to ingest. This is your chance to flashback! Shaki Presents is very proud to bring our good buddies from NY to play everyone’s favorite, the Elm Bar. They’ll be here to hypnotize and mesmerize with their reverb and riffs. We are very excited for this show!
“On the fine Language of Stone vinyl LP SMOKE SIGNALS…this storming recording burns with the intensity of most live recordings and that’s the whole difference. Strangely, Heavy Hands’ musicians exhibit so few signs of any post-punk influences that it gives the LP a fetishistic nature, somewhat like hanging out with a lost airman from WW2 who never found out the war was over. Hey, that’s it; these druids sound like early ‘70s German or Danish rockers. No Grunge, no Stoner, nuthin’! Now, anything that spooky is worthy of investigation!”-Julian Cope

We are tremendously excited to announce this fine addition to an already stellar show: Sea Of Drones. Connected folks already know that other band, Sea of BONES and we are happy to debut an otherworldy side project from those go to guys of heavy. While SOBones might be the fellas to call when you need something pulverized, crushed, and ground to a fine dust, Sea Of Drones promise to fill the room with waves of sound to float on (instead of being crushed under). It is an absolute pleasure to bring these guys out for this great night. Don’t miss it!

Ian Nagoski plays 78 RPM Records From The Ottoman-American Diaspora 1916-1929
3pm
ALL AGES!
We didn’t book this spectacular event, but we will most certainly champion the cause! In his own words…
“My name is Ian Nagoski. I live in a small mountain town in Appalachia. I’m involved in 78 rpm records; I have a record label called Canary (manufactured and distributed by Mississippi Records of Portland, OR) that does reissues of some of this stuff (five releases to date; four more in the can) and a radio show called Fonotopia where I tell some stories and play some records. I have done a reissue project for the Dust-to-Digital label called Black Mirror, and a 3CD set called To What Strange Place will be issued this Fall on the Tompkins Square label. I also lecture regularly at all kinds of venues.”
