The fourth edition showcases the wacky punk-jazz of British quintet WorldService Project, and the progressive virtuosic rock of the Italian, Nohaybandatrio.

Locals BRIAN! will kick things off with a rare duo performance featuring four new pieces composed for bassoon, guitar, and voice. Elements of prog, math-rock, drone, and even cantor music come into play this time around.

why+the+wires headline, also showcasing new material and their tough to pin down mix of progressively angular, post-punk.

Local bassoon-driven prog trio BRIAN! have given us the first peak at their upcoming album, which hits this Sunday, April 21st at The Haunt. Check out "It's..." now:

BRIAN! features David Resig on amplified bassoon, Willie B. (Tzar, Johnny Dowd) on drums & percussion, and Bubba Crumrine (Mouth To Mouth To Mouth, Hiroshima Vacation) on guitar, bass, electronics and voice.

The band was founded as a duo of Resig and Crumrine in 2009 and continued as such until early 2012 when Willie B. was brought in on drums.  The trio are pull a strong influence from prog and and the Rock-In-Opposition movement, but also pull from math-rock, 20th century composition, ambient and noise, avant-garde, and heavy rock. Their upcoming 5 track, 37 minute release marks their first recorded material as a three-piece.

WOW! Stunning performances down at The Space last week. Normal Love's clang of avant precision held everyone's attention in their grasp like few we've had before. Two new, and very different, tunes from Ithaca's trio BRIAN! and the now-on-hiatus DAADs plus more fresh instrumental heaviness from Temuchin. Lots more after the break too...
