Sunday, April 15 - Clan of the Cave Bear, Ettrick, Hartman/Shelton/Gunnarson
trio 8:30pm, $6-10

Aram Shelton (Dragons 76, Grey Ghost), Chicago's Michael Hartman (TV Pow,
Kuro Neko Music), and Steini Gunnarson (Son of Gunnar, Ton of Shel ) play
improvised music on electronics and guitar. Quiet noises and noisey noises
confronted by other sounds and silences.

With all the squawks, rasps, and synapse-smacking harmonics of John Zorn and
Albert Ayler, the San Francisco duo Ettrick wields saxophones like some kind
of pan-dimensional alarm clocks‹or, at the very least, malfunctioning
dentist's drills. But like the best free jazz, there's a deep intuition and
discipline at work within the band's music... To top it all off, the twosome
splices bits of Orthrelm-level metal into the frenetic jazz..

Experimental/ Progressive/ Grindcore, Clan of the Cave Bear (from the
Cleveland area) sound like an electric guitar and a drum set living together
in a truck hitting speed bumps occasionally, but not always. Sometimes the
truck slows down for the bumps. or it may hit the bumps very hard.
