The International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), New York’s most hyperactive new-music band, launches ICE ALL OVER, a nine-program, nine-venue, nine-neighborhood tour of the city featuring music by young and emerging composers from the US, Europe, Asia and Latin America (and a few old guys and gals thrown in here and there).

“…part of a trend of multidisciplinary ensembles with genre-defying approaches that appeal to smart, adventurous young audiences.” – Anne Midgette, New York Times

“It would be hard to overpraise the prodigiously talented, bracingly idealistic and indefatigable ICE.”- Michael Cameron, Chicago Tribune

Trainer
"a heap of broken dance action"

Trainer wails, laughs, spills, and tries again.

Created and directed by mixed-media artist Crystal Curtis, Trainer is determined by crocheted costumes, original music and abstract covers, as well as choreography that lies somewhere between yoga and Captain EO. Featuring Crystal Curtis, Jeannine Haynes, Eric Clark, Jan Van Woensel, and other performers and musicians from near and far.

Global collective ANALOG arts ensemble curates a collaborative performance based on found sounds and field recordings, featuring all-stars from the Brooklyn indie chamber music scene with Loop 2.4.3 and members of groups like Object Collection and Arsenic-Free Music. With sound sources like subway platforms, answering machines, Saks
Fifth Avenue, and air traffic controllers, you never know what you're
going to hear next. The program will be a mix of original music and
works by Samuel Beckett, LaMonte Young, and Velvet Underground, and
the evening winds up with an after-hours remix by various artists
experimenting with some of the program's source material.

Julz-A's Squeeze Right EP Release Party -

CD release party for "Squeeze Right EP" hosted by Lost Penny Music. With
performances by Julz-A, Kevin Johnston, Jann Klose, Witches In Bikinis,
The Press, and Zigmat.

“Fingers fanned out at chest level, terry-cloth band on his wrist, leaning
back slightly, [Julz A] strikes a classic rapper's pose despite playing an
instrument that has been relegated to Dorkville at least since the
Beatles.” – New York Times

"If you think you've seen it all, you haven't– at least not until you've
attended this concert, which includes … MC Julz A, who plays accordion
while unfolding rhymes over pre-recorded beats."
– Boston Globe

the Wichita City Paper called SQUEEZE RIGHT EP (Lost Penny Music) “dark
and desperate pop that has much more in common with Robert Johnson than
Sir Jimmy Shand. …’Play Your Ax,’ for instance cleverly balances levity
with lethality; ‘Where in the Words’ plays with rhetorical conventions
(the magic of the word “if”) over a danceable goodtime beat.”

“Where? (In the Words),” the closing track on SQUEEZE RIGHT EP, already
has earned Honorable Mention in the 2006 We Are Listening
Singer/Songwriter Awards, along with another JULZ-A original, “Sunset
Time.” And speaking of Honorable Mentions, that’s what “I Tried” earned in
the 2005 Billboard World Song Contest.

The Evolve Theater Series presents:
NEAL MEDLYN'S COMING IN THE AIR TONIGHT

NEAL MEDLYN PUTS ON GENESIS SONGS, FORCES YOU TO SNAP HIS BRA!

Neal Medlyn's Coming In The Air Tonight is an all new full length evening of entertainment over the course of which Neal gets progressively covered in more and more blood.

The end.

Don't you wanna come see it now? Not yet? Well what if I told you that, originally, the name of the show was going to be NEAL MEDLYN: STABBIN MOTHERFUCKERS! LIVE!

I figured that would work. The show features a variety of Phil Collins and Genesis music and is about how Neal is starting to slowly fall apart due to how he's all torn up inside from getting his heart broken into tiny pieces. It is also about how Neal steals a lot of stuff from people. Like their belongings and house wares but also their thoughts and ideas. As if that weren't enough, it features live video, special dedications, live drumming
by Mr. Carmine Covelli and superstar guests to include TKTKTKTKTK

Neal Medlyn is the purveyor of such previous smash hit entertainments as
NEAL MEDLYN'S LIONEL RICHIE OPERA, and KENNY MELLMAN+NEAL MEDLYN=ROBERT KELLY with Kenny Mellman of Kiki and Herb. He is a former Mr. Lower East Side and co-starred with Karen Finley in "George and Martha." His solo work has been presented at the Public Theater, Joe's Pub, Galapagos Art Space (where he had a previous month-long residency in 2006), Ars Nova, and on tour around the country and in Germany. His internet TV show Neal Medlyn's
Land of Make Believe, with Nerve.com, is a cult favorite.

Electric Soft Parade "No Need To Be Downhearted" new album listening
party with giveaways from Filter.

Presented by Working Man's Clothes (winner of 6 NYIT Awards for "To Ninevah") and The Thursday Problem ("Dread Awakening"), Fuckplays is a voyeuristic journey through six playwrights' most private places; a sincere examination of our most basic carnal desires.

From American Apparel ads to Sex and the City, we live in a dream world of constant fucking and endless possibilities. But in a society where explicit sex and pornography have veered ever closer to the mainstream, do we as Americans have a more unrealistic view of sex than ever before? What role does sex really play in your life? How do you perceive it? Do it? Talk about it? Fight about it?... Ultimately, what does sex mean to you? In this new 10 minute play festival 4 of NYC's hottest emerging playwrights combine with 4 of The Lone Star State's most explicit dramatists at Galapagos Art Space's EVOLVE Series every friday in April. Every night 8 short plays will guide patrons through a cross-spectrum of sexuality: sensuality, metaphor, fetishism, fantasy, voyeurism, violence, humor, love and intimacy.

Death Wake at Galapagos
curated by Instigator

The underground is dead
– welcome to it’s wake.

Members of Pink Sock, Ministry, Polaroy, La Lus and Tall Firs will pile into the back room with numerous other musicians and visual artists to
create the super group DEATH WAKE - an improvisational performance akin to building a snow man using music, art, space and whatever makes you happy. Anything and everything will happen this night. It’s Lincoln Logs with sharp edges.

Also on the bill will be the bands:

Smite
Six Demon
Waikino

Spinning will be:

Celebrity Dj"s / Christopher Garrett / Chris Johanson

--As our friend’s at Vice wrote about Pink Sock

“People don’t invent drugs like they used to. I mean when was the last time you heard somebody say, ‘HEY! You can dry these fucking Colombian leaves and turn them into a white powder that will be snortable backstage at Cradle of Filth concerts in Oslo AND in The Ivy´s bathroom in between the shrimp salad and the grilled oyster breast.’ Maybe back in 1971. But every now and again some band comes close to actually inventing a new drug (a real drug, not some spray-paint roasted in MDMA and stored
in some Chernobyl like garage for 9 years).
Yeah, yeah -it´s music.
But still - ears need drugs, too.”
