Last shows for a while:

June 4th, 2008-8pm at City Hall, San Jose, CA–We’ll be playing as a prelude to the illumination of City Hall with gigantic projections as part of the Zero 1 Festival. More info at 01sj.org … We play at 8:30 sharp. Incursion 37:20:15.71” N - 121: 53:09.51” W continues Craig Walsh’s series of large-scale projection installations occupying specific sites and responding to contrasting environmental contexts. These urban interventions provide surreal visions of nature dominating architectural sites and altering their perceived function. This new project for 01SJ will continue this strain of enquiry whilst considering the impact technology might have on these simulated clashes between Nature and the built environment. Immediately after this set we’ll be driving to San Francisco to play at the Make-Out Room.

June 4th, 2008-9pm at the Make-Out Room, San Francisco, CA–Special 3rd Anniversary Penny Arcade Showcase with Bart Davenport, Nathan Moomaw & Alina Harding. More info here.
