Gratis (x2) in the East Bay Tonight
If you missed Ratatat’s sold out show last night at Great American, you’re in luck, because they’re playing a free show in Berkeley tonight. More info here. Requires very little investment on your part and should be good, so why not? The only thing keeping me from being 100% sure I’m going to be there is the coming onslaught of exhaustion, having been up since 2:15 a.m.
If you’re not quite ready to go home after Ratatat finishes, hang out in Berkeley for a bit and then check out this event, which sounds very interesting:
Tuesday September 19th
9PM
Mills College - 5000 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland
Greek Theater
(it's outside, behind the Concert Hall in the Music building)
FREE admission -- but Fred and Soma are on tour
and "gas money" or "snack money" is
happily accepted
FRED THOMAS and SOMA WINGELAAR
Boundless/Countless:
Thomas is a musician, producer and recording artist best known for his work with experimental pop group Saturday Looks Good To Me. Thomas has been touring the world with his music since age 19 in one form or another. Under the auspices of his label Ypsilanti Records, Thomas has spent the last five years releasing his own material in addition to such artists as Genders, Dead Machines, and His Name Is Alive. In April his solo record Sink Like A Symphony debuted, and recent concerts have gone the way of reverb-heavy vocal loops and wordy folk songs, quite the departure from SLGTM's carefree pop and soul.
University of Michigan graduate Soma Wingelaar is an installation artist and printmaker who recently completed a residency at Gallery Project in Ann Arbor. Her work ranges from large-scale drawings and engravings on industrial material to interactive soft sculpture and installation.
"The Boundless/Countless installation is designed to conform to any space. Wineglaan has created a structure that "breathes," fueled by a fan that inflates and deflates the translucent, rip-stop parachute material from which it is made. The audience is invited inside the structure, where musician and record producer Thomas improvises sound while his co-star manipulates ambient lights along with the respiratory intensity of the fan."
