Pendu presents: NY EYE & EAR FEST.

Check Hexbreaker Quintet Telecult’s super group with Grasshopper at the NY Eye & Ear, most likely the only NYC performance for most of the summer. Will be playing the Champagne of Fests IV in Cleveland in July.

Just as exciting, make sure you check Hex Breaker Quintet on Wm. Berger’s My Castle of Quiet April 28th @ 8 pm. Live on air!

Check it out, just finished. Thanks Brian for giving me the opportunity to make something beautiful.

Hey, Excepter are on the cover of the new issue of The Wire, and because we are raging capitalists we shoved cigars in Dan, Jon, Jeff, Lala, Nathan & Clare’s collective face, had them sign a contract and rushed to put out their new tape Equinox to cash in.

You can sample a side (though super compressed) here, Mr. Wm. Berger of My Castle of Quiet was kind enough to play some of it on his radio show on WFMU.

Find out how to order your copy over at the Temple of Pei website.

Speaking of, this Saturday April 17th Telecult Powers will be jamming as sort of a bigger Virginal Volcanoes (this time with wives involved) with Excepter offshoot act Seth at 929 Broadway/Party Expo/Outerspace ways, Inc. Should be weird and fun. Early show, from 7-10. Expect a long set. Or should that be Except?

I’ve been on a Nina Simone kick lately, thought I would do a portrait. Unfortunately it is a bit poorly rendered, but alas, here is the Vedic Nina Simone.

As a general rule of thumb I don’t use other people’s photos as source images, but Nina was a bit too difficult to go without an original. Check out the source image here:

New illustration for Justin Farrar’s radio show Kill The Head, on Fridays, 5 to 7 p.m. (eastern), you can check it out at www.ashevillefm.org

We went out with Mark & Sam for a few days last week, played Brooklyn’s Death By Audio (as Hex Breaker Quintet), Wesleyan College, Hampshire College and Bard. Someone was kind enough to film our sets -
