This Tuesday October 7th - MCF Since their last show at the Ping on January 21st, MCF have been continuing to refine their sound. This performance (which will include some exciting visuals as well) will feature Michael Keith on laptop as well as some guitar and David Sait on electric guitar and looper. Their sound has been described as "not unlike a mix of the glitch rhythms of Autechre and the trance-like guitar parts of Mogwai". http://www.michaelkeith.com Between Sets CD - "The New Tribes EP" by Michael Mage A beguiling journey through the darker side of ambience - from soundscapes to ritualistic percussion. The CD also comes with "A Celebration of Ceremonies Past" - a book of poetry which compliments the ideas put forth in the music. http://www.michaelmage.net .
