Piloting this mass into the new millennium: Stuart McLeod (drums - SIL2K Ensemble), Robert Henson (guitar - SIL2K Ensemble), Kevin Goldsmith (bass - Intonarumori), and Carl Farrow (guitar - *Polar, inBOIL). Set all dials to the year 2000. Bundle up. transAtlantic iceFloe has been described as 'music designed for re-programming minds and breaking wills'." The Stares make music to fly to. They employ keys, guitars, drums, co-ed vocals, dynamics, chords, and whatever else strikes their fancy to create their brand of rich minimalism. Angie Benintendi - keys, voice, Jason Merculief - drums, Drew Whittemore - guitar, voice. "TABLELAND is a guitar based instrumental, ambient, psychedelic-sound group based out of Seattle. Through a wash of slide and movie projector imagery, the band, (Sorrells >gtr, Rosoff >bs, Krentz >cello, Hartnett >kys,gtr and Merculief >drms) weaves melodic soundscapes utilizing instruments, gadgetry, samples, loops and grooves, evoking an intense, moody atmosphere wherever they perform." Don't miss this night of shared drummers, co-worker camaraderie, and epic sounds. http://www.thestares.com/ http://www.tableland.org/ http://www.transatlanticicefloe.com/ http://tractortavern.citysearch.com/
