October events!!

First of all, MANY thanks to everyone who came out to Proctor's for the Faust/Century Plants/Holland Hopson event. It was a great great night.

Two quick ASAC announcements for our next events in October:

1) On Tuesday October 13, Holland Hopson and other ASAC members will lead a collective participatory drone from 8pm to 10pm at the Arts Center in Troy. 256 River St. Bring an instrument or a noisemaker and join us for some hypnotic drone making. Or just come and listen and enjoy.



2) On Saturday October 24th, we'll be hosting a show at the amazing Upstate Artists Guild (247 Lark St. in Albany).

BEN MILLER / MATT WESTON duo (Ben was in Destroy All Monsters, Matt is in Barn Owl)

Promises to be another exceptional night of great music in Albany, featuring both local and travelling performers. More descriptive words soon, but for now, just mark your calendars - it's a "do not miss" kind of night...

be seeing you!
