The 12th Street Playboys
When
it comes to Cajun music, New York City can do no better
than the 12th Street Playboys. This traditionalist trio
performs Acadian French two-steps and heartwrenching
waltzes in a raw, decidedly rural style. Casting aside
the tired references to crawfish and jambalaya, their
repertoire leans heavilly towards the masters of the
genre: Iry Lejeune, Dennis McGee, and Joe Falcon. The
12th Street Playboys are: Kevin Anthony: guitar, fiddle;
Henry Hample: fiddle, vocals; and Nicolas Beaudoing
(Cajun accordion, guitar, and vocals).

The 101
Featuring
Eric Richter of Christie Front Drive and Antarctica,
Brooklyn's The 101 are quickly becoming known
as one of the tightest, most engaging bands around.
Their textured power-pop draws on influences that range
from traditional American alt-rock to ambient British
guitarscapes.
"Like
bands such as the Smiths, the 101 seem informed by punk's
viscerality and immediacy, but equally aware of what
it takes to make an intrinsically great pop song. If
you're into interesting, sophisticated but still instantly
likable emo and pop this is a band who you should probably
be following religiously." -dfbpunk.com

Vic
Thrill + Dentist Dentista (formerly known as Nimbus)
Two
of New York's hottest electropunk combos hit the Galapagos
stage with their critically-acclaimed stage antics.
Dentist
Dentista has a certain circus energy and crunch, like
Henry Mancini with a distortion pedal. They fuse new wave
garage pop and eclectic rock & roll influences into
a danceable, thinkable mix.
Vic Thrill (pictured) was created by former
Bogmen vocalist, Billy Campion (Vic Thrill) and Garden
Variety guitarist Anthony Rizzo (Saturn Missile). The
reaction to this Brooklyn-based band's first full-length
record, CE-5, has been extraordinary.
"A hybrid of electronica, power chords and snyth
pop that could light up a disco on Saturn." -Washington
Post

OCULARIS
award-winning film series
Son of Tutti Frutti
Martin Heath, Roger Cross, and Deanne Taylor
Can, 1972, 100 min.
This
fun, freewheeling compilation of music, performances from
feature films, documentaries and cartoons starts with
Bessie Smith in 1935 and takes a more serious turn with
the Rolling Stones’ Dublin Show.
Both
Martin Heath and his wonderful partner Janet will be here
in person.
Martin
Heath is quite the character, a proprietor-cum-projectionist-cum-bicycle
repairman, and 2004 winner of LIFT’s Tom Berner Award!
He is coming to us all the way from Toronto where he founded
a microcinema, the CineCycle, in 1970, which has for many
years been a staple for the independent film community
there. Heath is also a film preservationist as well as
a key staff member of the Toronto Film Festival, and has
been affiliated with such prominent organizations as Inside
Out, LIFT, and Pleasure Dome, making him a guiding light
in the world of Canadian cinephiles.
