Mathew Sawyer (uk)This vintage ukulele salesman hasan extraordinary and very personaltake on various olk-inuencedstylings. A one-man indie bandequipped with stories rom thekind o bars that always seem toclose, beore your thirst has beenquenched.

Xu Shaoyang (hk)

He turns everything that can beannoying about pop songs into apersonal source o power romwhich genuinely beautiul lamentor celebration spring in abundant.Beguilingly nave world music.Head of Wantastiquet (be)The name itsel is kind o a mentalroad map to the burial cairn othe only amiliar I ever really had,a large grey and white male catwho was with me or 7 years.He died on September the 11th,right beore the Red Sox won The

World Series. That was the sign, inretrospect, o course.Electric banjo to remind you odistant things.

Exhibition / Bar 15:00-02:00Live music from 17:00 - 02:00

Distortion Girls (dk)We like women / barring theirteeth / calling out oul names /killing / all evil men / with their fn-gernails / distortion / loud / causewe are / Distortion Girls. Lengthysong cycles, drum machine, Ham-mond organ, guitar and vocals.Suicide meets The Doors (sorto). First time this handsome trio isplaying out!

Flowers Must Die (se)Flowers Must Die is a crazy,paranoid tribal chant, where thevoice reaches hallucinatory andscreamed tones, and the musicmelts an unstoppable rhythmicsection with razor-sharp electronicblasts. Thats a description o anold Ash Ra Temple classic, but itfts this band, too.

Astral Blessing (us)Sporadic gigs, oten with uckingyears in between them, let more

than one trainspotter wondering ithe band existed at all. WesternMass. supergroup o sorts backrom yet another long hiatus. Moreo a night time psych scorcher,really, than the astromancer weirdolk theyve sometimes been asociated with.

Growing Rot (dk)I like to think, I, the perormer, amnot too present in the music per-haps because Im always bringinga lot o tape players with me onstage, which seem to take up allthe space.

Mackinawite (no)The rattling o keys in your pocketamplifed a hundred times to a

tightly woven knit o noise.

Siya Sar (dk)Contrary to popular belie, SiyaSar is not a neoolk-band. RagaHolstebro style. They cancelledlast year, but have promised toclimb mountains and swim rivers tobe here this time.

Red Favorite (us)I lived in Boston or a ew yearsbut didnt eel the magical, happyeects... Maybe cause I neverwent to the crack house across thestreet? I grew up near Framing-ham, but the drug laden goatsare a new distinction; previouslyit was amous or having the frstshopping mall in the U.S. Thisguy could make his wooden guitaretch him a cup o coee, i he tried.

Haruko (de)On the surace Harukos delight-ully simple pastoral songs tell atale o wide-eyed wonder at thebeauty o lie, but within is a worldo elemental nature and ragingorces o passion. Woman andguitar, lushly hushed.

Cam Deas (uk)He can make a 12 string guitarsing in ghostly moans and etherealvoices, whether he plays sketchyvignettes, expressive, colourulragas or multi-layered cascades odelayed distortion.

Elevatorfrer (dk)The bands exact line-up remainsa mystery, since Elevatorrersconcerts are notoriously elusive

aairs and could range somewherebetween a ew minutes and severalmonths. Thus began an improvisedconcert in Thylejren in 71 titledPeripendikulr Odyss in mid-May and didnt ofcially end untilater the solstice. Danish rocksonly true legend, Eik Skale, hasntlived in vain.

Emma cs (dk)Thereve been written books abouthow this sweet birds got to be onher way constantly. Post-punk andy-y used into a awless, reshtake on organ-inused, psychedelicsixties pop complete with bitter-sweet lyrics.

Hills (se)Gritty, low-slung, psychedelicpost-punk jamming. A gorgeouslyflthy bass holds the grooveswhile eedback experiments andtime mangled vocals ood themix sweaty and dirty music orthe dungeons. New Weird VstraGtaland.

Aron & The BlackbeaconOrkestra (dk)Horror olk where no moons insight. Electro-acoustic psychedel-ica best played at night. This quin-tet will give you a perect right.

Exhibition / Bar 15:00-02:00Live music from 17:00 - 02:00

MV/EE with The Golden Road(us)Lunar blues and astral dimensionsin spectrasound. Ayup, SPEC-TRASOUND. A good palette/palletcleanser or the too much is notenough synapse. Poignant blendso Indian raga, Appalachian olkand post-psychedelic, electricalexperimentalism. A deep-in-it, boxresh and not-that-weird take onAmericana. Red glaring engineswhizzing down golden roads.

Rimlig Ramt (dk)Red wine-jerking poetry embed-ded into pipe smoking rhythms.A simple yet highly imaginativeexpression make this duos takeon 4th generation hip hop seemspanking-new.

Herb Diamante (uk)The beat-box bossa nova, theow-register keys, and the lostsouls providing backing vocals allconjure an image o a beckoningHerb draped seductively acrossa headstone, luring you towardssomething you probably shouldntdo but cant resist. Herb lovesglamour, alcohol and pataphysics.

Matt Krefting (us)He describes himsel as a non-musician, I just like to loudlyaccompany my car stereo whiledriving around. Maybe its thisaidback approach that makeshis music glow with warmth andmakes the artist come across likean old riend who you havent hungout with in a long time? He preersim Bean, i its rom a ask. Its

a whole other story, though, i hegets whisky served in a glass.

Mick Flower (uk)Through proane sounds o noiselies the return to knowing noth-ing. This guy can make an electricguitar sound like a machine gun.

James Blackshaw (uk)

Hes been called the heir to thethrone o John Fahey. WhileJamess defnitely got the talentto back up such praise, his musicneeds no reerences. Timeless,classic guitar picking.

Causa Sui (dk)An imposing mixture o mind-altering, trippy, instrumental, psych,spacerock, reakout, uzz guitarmayhem. A Hawkwind circa Brain-storm groove with avant-gardeoverlayering la early SunburnedHand turned into an Amon Dl II/Can krautrock kinda eel.

Joshua Burkett (us)His songs radiate an aura ostoned wonder that might occa-sionally icker, but never goes out.Rustic ever dream olk rom thedeep crates.

Ralph White (us)White plays wooden six-stringbanjo, violin, accordion andkalimba and his voice has a high,eerie quality to it that allows it toblend with the various primitivestrategies that the music employsto reanimate traditional and originalmaterial alike. His music situatesaspects o the sound in someavant-garde hillbilly ourth world.

Tarp (us)The name tarp is a nod to thesilver tarp they crawl under duringperormances to shield their brainsrom the impact o those o theaudience witnessing the event, andalso to contain the brainwaves theythrow at each other through theseelectrical sound devices.

Exhibition / Bar 14:00-02:00Live music from 17:00 - 02:00

Sunburned Hand of the Man (us)Last show I saw had Rob shovingthrough the crowd at ull run witha potted tree. Their avourite pizzaplace is called Galleria Umberto.Youll fnd it in Bostons North End.Like the nine-headed hydra this

mighty, sunburned beast will attackyou rom all sides at once. No WayOut. Theyve been labelled actionjazz, but, really, expect anything tohappen.

oly Table (dk)So ar Ive only ever played it to areek saxophonist. He seemed toe it. 100% digital bell drones.

he Sound of Pot (us)ruth has nothing to do with enter-inment, says this sel-proclaimed

dversary o big crowds. Eerie,nsettling masses o wobblingaveorms crated by one o ourenerations truly great artisans.

ouths of the Irrawaddy (dk)he Ayeyarwady ans out rome limit o tidal inuence at Myanung. Plenty o ebb and ood inis duos mangroovy clash be-

ween ambient, drone and spirituallk music, though.

hread Pulls (il)hread Pulls are an experimental

wo-piece with the drumbeat ateir core. Their upbeat progres-ve sound meshes trumpet,ectronics and treated vocals withno-wave inspired mix o repetitiveass and drums.

Thulebasen (dk)Modern pop studies or guitar andbeats pushed through the sausagegrinder that removes structurewhere needed.

Dolphins Into the Future (be)The name says the most. Imagine

what a tacky drawing o a dolphinjumping out o the water on thebackdrop o a glistening rainbowwould look like in the uture, andyoure halway there. From the loneVoyagers log, based on an innervision o a dolphin totem. Synthsas repetitive as orest rain heavilyinduced by Theosophical writingso the past.

Ducktails (us)A New Jerseyian whose pop melo-dies are drenched in a warm dronethat recalls waves rolling up on a

Caliornian beach. Plenty o plasticnostalgia Duckburg, pepperonipizza, ake palm trees and sugarycereal but always lingering on thecandid side o a pastiche. Manipu-lated lo-f tape uzz that has youngpeople going crazy everywherethese days.

Exhibition / Bar 14:00-02:00Live music from 17:00 - 02:00

Shiggajon (dk)Sh as in shinto, i as in imaam, ggaas in Gandhi, j as in Jesu, on as inZion. Stress the o and there yougo. Shiggajon is not reejazz; its amodern, primitive big band, swing-ing in your swing.

Aethr Mythd (us)A rolling journey o squawkingnoises, crowing cacophony, andbarely-there percussiveness, allweaved together with tantalizingpassages o aded restraint. Hum-ming meditations.
