surprise guests adventure will satisfy most abstract desires.

Will Guthrie is an Australian drummer / percussionist living in France.
He works in many different settings of music: live performance,
improvisation and studio composition using various combinations of
drums, percussion, objects, junk, amplification and electronics..
He

GUTHRIE & THE SOMMES ENSEMBLE. His music has been released on labels
such as Gaffer Records, Erstwhile, Clean Feed, 23five, Editions Mego, Ipecac, iDEAL and his own label Antboy Music.
While studying jazz and improvised music(s) at the Victorian College of
the Arts in Melbourne, alongside Ren Walters he started the weekly
concert series 'Improvised Tuesdays', now known as the Make It Up Club
and is Australia's longest running performance space dedicated to
experimental and improvised musics. In Nantes, France he is part of the
collective CABLE# which also organizes regular concerts and an annual

MENSHEVIKS is an Albany-based improvisational quartet with

with an approach all its own. Matt Weston, Ray Hare, Mike Griffin, and
Eric Hardiman are the crew.
Matt "MV" Valentine
Wovoka
Fossils From the Sun
Sunday May 31
8 PM at The Low Beat
335 Central Ave Albany NY
Vermont's MATT VALENTINE (MV) is a cosmic sojourner of the highest
order. Whether in his regular gig with Erika Elder or flowing on his
own, MV's brand of rural psychedelia is unmistakable--his deep
songwriting skills are matched by adventurous sonics and deft
guitarwork. He's playing a few solo shows soon before his double LP
"Midden Mound' drops this summer on the UK's mighty Golden Lab Records.
Come see him at Albany's Low Beat on May 31!
If string theory
is correct, this is approximately the thirteenth album Matt Valentine
has released that definitely shouldn’t be filed under a group name (MV
& EE, Tower Recordings, Bummer Road, Golden Road, etc.). On the other
hand, if string theory is correct, this might also be his 11,000th
album. The truth, one suspects, is somewhere in between. It’s actually
his 2nd record of “songs”. Since bedding down in southern Vermont at the
dawn of the century, MV has been as cussedly prolific as anyone but the
general approach here is as naked-and-loaded as the soul of Icepick
Slim.
As usual, MV’s tunes and procedures beggar easy
generification. El- ements of deep forest psychedelia brush against
Crazy Horse guitar / vocal flourishes that explode to reveal volk-based
form mayhem at its hickiest. This guy has the magic touch.
- BYRON COLEY
“The MV half of MV&EE creates tense, cosmic music with very little.
His meandering voice and sparkling guitar sound lonely, weird, and
oddly comforting. A good match, actually, for some of Philip K. Dick’s
obsessions: identity, authen- ticity and transformation.”
“the
hypnotic effect is like sitting in a car in the desert, turning the
radio dial, and stumbling upon ancient transmissions returning from deep
space.”
“more effusive guitar effects and an occasional bend
into a warped doo-wop or rural blues sensibility. The only problem with
this strange addition to the ever- expanding body of work inspired by
PKD is that it is not a whole album”
- BRAINWASHED

Joining MV on the bill will be Fossils from the Sun and Wovoka. Ray
Hare plays in Century Plants and Burnt Hills, and his Fossils from the
Sun project is an unpredictable one, as likely to utilize guitar as drum
machine and synthesizer. One constant is Ray's voice, bent and mutated
under layers of delay and distortion. John Lynch also plays in Burnt
Hills, and his Wovoka project specializes in a hazy, homegrown
back-porch psych vibe. Wovoka's released an LP on Time-Lag, while
Ffrthesun has a number of releases on labels like Digitalis, Tape Drift,
and Skell.
Don't miss this one! It's presented by Albany Sonic Arts Collective.
