8:30 . The Devil In The Design . One of the PiNG's favourite
space guitarists, Phil Ogison (also of The Moon Dandies, Harold,
A Pretty Sonic Splatter and Psychosomatic Climax Machine)
returns to create a sweet quiet noise with his solo project
The Devil In The Design. Phil will be joined by percussionist
Jeff Howard on the electronic kit & visualist Catherine Tammaro
of Subduction Current. http://www.myspace.com/ogison

9.30 . URM . Jamie Todd (also of dreamSTATE, NOiNO & SADU)
has fuelled up the laptop to launch a spaced out set of electronics,
sequences and drones along with some interspersed improvised
ambient soundscapes. Unlike the launching of Gemini 3, no
corned beef sandwiches will be snuck on-board as we don't want
any crumbs floating about messing up the instrumentation.

. GENERAL CHAOS VISUALS . Throughout the evening, the
unique evolving light paintings of General Chaos Visuals will
provide us with mesmerizing motor-driven, hand-painted visuals
projected onto the live canvas of performers.

. As an added treat, Phil, Jeff and Jamie will all plug in together
to improvise a third set. In keeping with jamming spirit of the
evening, Subduction Current will improvise with General Chaos
Visuals throughout to deepen the mind bending eye candy.

. For those of you who can't make it out to experience this show's
visuals and music live and in person, we'll be streaming this show
live to the net thanks to the Supermarket's partnership with
