MEM1
Mem1 seamlessly blends the sounds of cello and electronics to create a limitless palette of sonic possibilities. In their improvisation-based performances, Mark and Laura Cetilia's use of custom hardware and software, in conjunction with a uniquely subtle approach to extended cello technique and realtime modular synthesis patching, results in the creation of a single voice rather than a duet between two individuals. Their music moves beyond melody, lyricism and traditional structural confines, revealing an organic evolution of sound that has been called "a perfect blend of harmony and cacophony" (Forced Exposure).

Double Naught Spy Car

From Cafe 322 Website:

DOUBLE NAUGHT SPY CAR, L.A. Weekly Music Awards Best Instrumental Band of 2002, burst from Tinsletown's contorted psyche to provide underscore for America's descent into an opiated social contract and overt corporate tyranny. In sweat drenched shows harkening back to 1950s jazz clubs, the grinding Telecaster and spasmodic steel of Paul Lacques, the gurgling Stratocaster of Marcus Watkins, the revisionist/reductionist bass of Marc Doten, and the all knowing unyielding drums of Joe Berardi beguile, bewilder, bait, and beatify their audience -- and all with no pesky vocals or lyrics to water down the twang and throb.

Atomic Sherpas and the Scrappers

From the Echo Curio Website:

OK, so we got Vince Maghrouni and Joe Baiza, in their most conversational and interesting formats (in
my opinion).  So get ready to stretch out, cuz these two ensembles are gonna take their time on our rug
and deliver the goods in multiple salvos.  You gotta bring your dancin' shoes for this one, cuz ATOMIC
SHERPAS is gonna bring the funk, James Brown-style, but don't forget to bring your thinking cap for THE
SCRAPPERS unique brand of free-jazz meets primal jams.  Or maybe it's the other way around.  Either
way, tonight is going celebrate all the best music Los Angeles has to offer.
