...with your MC for the evening:
Ryan-O'Neil (Drum Attix/Free Ice Cream)
FEATURED ARTISTS:
Math-You Namie www.mathyounamie.com
Layering the simple, thick lines of classic comic book illustrations over boldly-patterned fabrics, Math-You Namie creates delightfully pop portraiture.
Lindsay Bourget www.lindsaybourget.com
Evoking fragmented and dreamlike imagery, print-maker Lindsay Bourget incorporates woodland animals, typographic symbols, ornate borders and tango sheet-music in her mixed-media works.
Lauren Bahr www.laurenbahr.com
Combining elemental shapes with a warm palette of flesh and jewel tones, Lauren Bahr's kaleidoscopic 'triangulations' celebrate the crystalline geometry of shattered forms.
...along with a 360° immersive video installation from The Glass Bead Collective:
Armed with high-power projectors, the A/V agitators of the Glass Bead Collective tackle contemporary issues by altering physical spaces. Their multidisciplinary works include 'guerrilla art projections' at Ground Zero, several documentary films and numerous site-specific video/sound installations. For Gros Fête, they will explore 'simplified realities' by transforming the Gallery Bar into a 360° immersive art installation.
We will also have a 0% commission merchandise table featuring wares from local artists, and expect prizes and giveaways throughout the night!

RIP Teddy Pendergrass
by Scallywag
Goddamn, that man could sing. This is EASILY one of my favorite songs of all time - any era, any genre. The Thelma Houston version was a bigger hit apparently, but the Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes version is just untouchable: so huge and uplifting, yet filled with heartbreak.
Rest easy, Teddy, and thank you for the music.
BONUS: Extended Tom Moulton version + killer edit of "The Love I Lost" . Do the world a favor and play one of these at the end of the night this weekend.

100dBs & Ryan-O'Neil Honored for 2007 Debut
by 100dBs
It's nice to be remembered. Two and a half years after we released The Adventures of The One Hand Bandit and The Slum Computer Wizard, it's popped up on Kevin Nottingham's list of the top 50 hip hop albums of the past decade.
It's been a long time since then. Rest assured, Ryan and I have been slowly but surely working on a follow-up LP. We are taking our time because we don't release trash. If you're really jonesing for some new material, peep Ryan's Hyphenated & Apostrophed EP, to which I contributed two tracks. It was also featured on Kevin's top 10 EPs of 2009.
