I am not terribly familiar with everyone on this list, but I can vouch (fer sher) for Ed Roberson (whose poetry events have been strangely under-publicized on campus). Not much excuse to miss this one.

Unofficial Event

Thursday at Elastic -- Frank Rosaly (you saw him w/ the Rempis Perc. 4tet) & Fred Lonberg-Holm (currently of Vandermark 5 & about a million other things).

Solos and duets.

But if you go bring $7. I'm still working on the funding situation.

Rempis Percussion Quartet Profiled

OK, we're not only about this quartet, but since we've seen them and they're a common point of reference, read this.

Review etc.

Going through some bureaucratic issues here at ULHQ. I don't know at this time how the funding situation will pan out. Regardless I will continue to alert folks to shows I plan to attend.

In the meantime check out this review of the Rempis Percussion Quartet's most recent record.
