HI, HELLO, NEWS!…

HEARTS, SSM.

DEAR ALL,

COME. CELEBRATE THE WEIRD!

In continuation of belated new year break-ins, So So Modern will emerge from creative hibernation to perform once again in their hometown.  Although seeing them play has become a somewhat rare event, the band has opted for a venue where high visibility for audiences and secured lighting is probable.  The band, having been away forever, will come with songs inspired by distant and imagined lands.

Raised by eccentric Swiss bears in the dank and smokey forests of 1970’s Bern, Tobias Jundt managed to escape his overbearing foster parents and took refuge in Berlin where he immediately formed ‘Bonaparte’, a particulary strange ‘forest/ghetto/electro/rock/jive/madness/love/gypsy/visual/animal’ musical act.

Also in the line up is the amazing noise-maker, party-shaker, beat-breaker Alphabethead.  The collagist-turntablist will be sure to win souls and displace minds.

The show will come accompanied by a poetry reading by Tali Williams from The Wellington Palestine Group.  There will be literature available intended to inform people about the ongoing tragedy in Palestine.   Donations for aid will be accepted and muchly appreciated.

In order to encourage full audience participation door sales will be $10 before 10pm and $15 after.  Come support all the acts because they are worth it!  Besides, what could you do with that cash you save?
