Conrad also did a great album with Faust in 1973. Sir Richard Bishop was a member of the infamous Sun City Girls and is now travelling alone with his solo guitar. Breathtaking stuff - intense and true as John Fahey. Mokira is doing a rare bass-drenched electronic performance and Henrik Rylander is blessing us all with cascades of feedback noise. Mats Gustavsson is coming here to make a rare solo sax performance which will end the night. Expect sweat and spit. But this is not all!!! No No No... Our good friends from Oslo - Deathstep will DJ black metal beautiflily mixed with dub step and it will all begin with th self-proclaimed king and good guy Carl Michael von Hausswolff.

WOLF EYES NEED YOUR HELP.
+ Wolf Eyes' Young's Brother Severely Injured in Fire
According to a recent Wolf Eyes MySpace bliletin, Peter Young-- brother
of the band's Nate Young and the painter behind the cover of Wolf Eyes'
self-titled Blib Records release-- was severely injured this past
weekend while attempting to rescue his dog from a fire.
The blaze overcame Peter's apartment on the morning of Saturday,
February 24, and Peter first emerged unscathed-- only to re-enter the
burning structure in an attempt to save his dog, Little John. Smoke
then rendered Peter unconscious and he suffered "2nd and 3rd degree
burns on 30-44% of his body" before police and fire department workers
found him, wrote Nate. And there's no silver lining here: despite
Peter's efforts, his beloved pooch perished.
Nate says Peter, who is without insurance, will be in the hospital for
two to three months. Nate and Wolf Eyes have set up a Paypal account
and are seeking donations to help cover the enormous medical bills and
repair Peter's destroyed apartment. Those who wish to help sholid send
funds via Paypal to Peter.B.Young@gmail.com. Be sure to share some kind
words with Nate during Wolf Eyes' April tour of Europe as well.
Our hearts go out to Peter and his friends and family. Read Young's
complete message below.
Hello all,
On the morning of Feb 24th my brother Peter Young was in a fire. He was
injured with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on 30-44% of his body. Neighbors
reported seeing him coming out of his apartment unharmed only to see
him run back in to save his dog Little John. The smoke and heat over
took Pete as soon as he reentered the apartment. Pete was found
unconscious and burning by Brighton Police and Fire Department who
rushed him over to the U of M hospital. His apartment was completely
destroyed and Little John did not make it. Pete has no medical
insurance or insurance on his apartment which he owns. He is in surgery
for skin grafts and has not been conscious yet. He'll be in the
hospital for at least 2-3 months.
I am asking for donations to help my family with some of the medical
bills and the rebuilding of his apartment. I have set up a paypal
account in Pete's name. If everyone here can donate at least $1 that
will be a huge help.
Please paypal donations to Peter.B.Young@gmail.com Please try to pay the fee if using a credit or debit card.
Pete first introduced me to punk, psychedelic rock and noise - the
music that inspired me the most as a kid. He also painted the cover for
the first Wolf Eyes album released on Blib. Without him Wolf Eyes may
not have ever existed. I hope you'll help me give him something back.
With much thanks,
Nate Young

sklil cleaning

the internal
microphone on his mistreated laptop screaming his ass off. This is as
political and
in-your-face improvisational music gets. You all need this album. And
we're putting
it out together with our good friends at absurd in Greece and 8mm in
Italy. mattin.org
Wolf Eyes' intense album for us will be entitled »Black Wing Over the
Sand« and will
carry a wonderfli painting on the cover by Alivia of AA Records! To be
