Tonight:

Blood on the Wall w/ Abigail Warchild and Lights
MERCURY LOUNGE NYC

I've been listening to Blood on the Wall's recent release, Liferz constantly lately. Abigail Warchild produces sometimes heavy, sometimes jaunty tunes that you can always nod your head to, and the gals of Lights have been playing around town for the last couple of years. They are full of girly ethereal harmonies and summer breezy noodling guitar melodies lead by a VU-style thumping bass drum.

Myat Moondog Haggart benefit, May 18th 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEMay 18th 2008, at St. Mark's Church ( 2nd Avenue b/t 11th & 12th streets) in New York City, marks an evening where decades of experimental performers from around the world will gather to buoy the spirits of their friend, 2-year-old Myat Moondog Haggart.

Myat Moondog Haggart is a hilarious, pugnacious, beautiful and beloved child beset by health problems relating to his brain that are proving very difficult to diagnose. This event exists as a party for him as he begins what may be a difficult journey to health, and as an immeasurably helpful boost as his medical bills continue to mount. This is an event for punks, nerds, parents, perverts, students, children, priests, pagans, ravers: an event for everyone.

7PM sharp/ $20 donation entry fee

Confirmed acts include *Captain Sons and Daughters* (artist Kara Bohnenstiel and Drew McDowall of Coil), *Vito Acconci* (delivering a 'textual architecture' oration), *Scott Haggart and Lary Seven performing DISKONO 017* (announcing the rebirth and continuation of legendary Scottish Dada-anarcho record label DISKONO), *David Grubbs* (Squirrel Bait, Gastr Del Sol, myriad solo projects collaborations and critical works), *Backworld*(World Serpent, Current 93), *Little Annie*(CRASS, Coil, go-to chanteuse for 30 years plus), and DJs *J.G.
