Who is playing thats in farmers manual? Here is the post greg sent out thats pretty informative. LACE is where the show will be -- 6/6. I think 11pm? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 31 May 1998 02:03:06 -0700 From: Greg Earle <earle@isolar.Tujunga.CA.US> To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: (idm) Wow! Pan(a)sonic & Mego invade Los Angeles next Saturday, June 6th This was so low-key it almost slipped beneath the radar ... but it looks like us low-culture Angelinos get an event worthy of "The Wire" ... While perusing the latest L.A. Weekly (free paper), after getting past all of the normal music adverts (pausing briefly to scratch my chin at the sight of a full-page ad for the Bauhaus reunion gigs), I stumbled upon a half-page advertisement for something called "Resistance fluctuations - a festival of new & unpredictable music". It begins this coming Tuesday, June 2nd and runs through Sunday, June 7th. At first glance the names all looked unfamiliar, save for Carl Stone on Wednesday. But then I stumbled upon Saturday night's lineup and found a veritable Austrian invasion ... (check out the 11 PM listing): Saturday, June 6th No Noise Reduction at Ace Contemporary Exhibitions - 6:00 PM Niveau G.X. Jupiter-Larsen [Author; worked with Organum; put out Haters CD - Ed.] Winfried Ritsch Andrea Sodomka, Martin Breindl, Norbert Math [3 Austrians who apparently work in the fields of "radio art, electronic music, art installations, photography, intermedia, video" and Net stuff] at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions - 9:00 PM Klaus Lang Peter Ablinger [2 Austrian composers of some note, apparently - Ed.] If it wasn't noisy enough before ... - 11:00 PM Pan Sonic Pita Christian Fennesz Russell Haswell Tickets: $10/$7 students [Dunno if this night is considered 3 seperate shows] Info: newmusic@mindspring.com, or call wires @ (310) 577-4684 Shit howdy, as they say. I don't know a whole lot about Pita, Fennesz and Haswell other than they all have one thing in common, they've all released records on the Mego label (Haswell, from London's Disobey club, did a record with Merzbow on Mego, and a Merzbow remix on that Blast First thingy). I'm aware that Fennesz is a mutant post-modern guitarist of sorts and that Pita is one guy, who, if the Real Audio samples I heard are any indication, likes to make minimal tracks of record needles skipping at the end of the run-off and shortwave blips (well, on his Mego album, at least ... I hope his other stuff is better than that (-: ). Unfortunately, due to work and my aging addled brain I forgot about the Oval/Jim O'Rourke show 2 nights ago. I hope not to make the same mistake this time. (It *would* have to be on the same night as the best desert rave - Dune IV - we have here all year though, damnit ... grrrrr) Panasonic, Kraftwerk, and Kraftwerk again in 3 consecutive nights. Phew ... - Greg

i thought maybe matthias gmachl would also be performing; i'm pretty sure he'll be attending the thing with SKOT partner tina frank, so don't be surprised to see one or more of them up on stage at one point or antoher. (note: SKOT is the pair's multimedia fuckoff thingy that tore the roof off of the fuse98 conference last week in sf)...
