Our first show of 2008 with our good friend Jenny Bienemann. We've put together a set that will hopefully complement hers by forgrounding our vocal material and simplifying the arrangements. The result is a sound that is more spatial and ambient. And sing-ey!

UNDERGROUND LOUNGE, 952 W Newport Ave
Cover is $7

8:30 We start
10:00 Jenny Bienemann will present her subtly woven live loops and lilting vocals.
