[NewMusic] Yes, Streifenjunko

[Jon Raskin]

hmmm-  the show was at the beanbenders space but I looked through Plonsey's list and didn't see them listed. (That was fun to go through- wow, what a run of great events)  Wasn't there another trumpet player from out of town that played here as well who took apart his trumpet in various ways and had some alterations as well that was part of his language?  Ben something?  I think he played at New Langton.

i don't think they ever played at beanbenders,

but they did play
sweat shop(they became a duo after their drummer quit that night),
big sur xfest, clitstop, luggagestore, etc -- (i thought they also
played art rattan but i don't have it on my list maybe they were just
staying there or we just did a private show or something i can't  
remember..)
