Thursday, April 5  Bones + Allbee/Shelton/Walter + If Volition, Then
8PM, $6-10

 Performing as a trio are Liz Allbee (Neung Phak, Le Flange du Mal) and Aram
Shelton (ex-Mirthkon) on electronics, with Weasel Walter on percussion.

 BONES is Jacqueline Gordon and Ben Bracken, involving a complex network of
channels and employing unique resonant frequencies.

If Volition, Then... is the pilot-name of a quintet of improvising musicians
from Mills College. Each member brings diverse experiences to the group
which is comprised of Mike Dale (piano, sax), Jordan Glenn (drums,
percussion), Jason Hoopes (bass), Amanda Schoofs (voice) and Andy Strain
(trombone). Influenced equally by tonality, melody and song forms as noise,
absurdity and abstraction, If Volition, Then... makes music that sounds like
how you might make a house, a sandwich or a decision - enveloped thrice over
in fate and boldly heedless of the shoulds which devour your inner ear.
