Kyle Landstra (CHI) // Azaleas (CHI) // Fuzz Town (KZOO) || @ MILHOUSE 7/26This Saturday Kalamazoo native Kyle Landstra will be traveling from Chicago with his friends Azaleas (of Original Flowering Earth) to perform in the Milhouse basement with local noise act Fuzz Town.

Be prepared to be immersed in aural stimulation at the hands of these masters of sonic story-telling.

These acts each represent distinct local flavors of ambient, noise, and drone. They each have samples of their art available on the internet, which I have linked to above and below, to give you further insight into what that might mean.

While there is no cover, donations to the touring bands for their efforts in coming here are always suggested. Please be respectful of your surroundings and be generally awesome to the other human beings you share this space with.

There are event listings on Facebook and Google Plus. Please message the administrators of those events for information.

The performances will start at 9. Try not to be late.

Victory House 8/24

a night of warm, honest vibes

Tomorrow, on Friday August 24th, Kevin Greenspon will be making his way through Kalamazoo on his three month tour throughout the U.S. He is crossing over to Kalamazoo from Ohio today, then up to Ludington on the 25th, Grand Rapids on the 26th, and Ann Arbor on the 27th. His live set on this tour will be accompanied by visual projections made by Paul from former selves and will definitely not be something to miss. A photo from him performing in front of these projections is posted below. He also heads the well-known ambient tape label Bridgetown Records and will have a lot of the Bridgetown catalog on hand throughout the tour. This is quite the tour for an ambient musician, so come out and show some support while showing him what the DIT scene in Kalamazoo has to offer!

Kevin Greenspon

Kevin Greenspon is a musician from Los Angeles, CA that blends ambient, electronic, drone, field recording and harsh noise. Primarily using guitar, effects and tape collage techniques, each song is an emotionally engaging arrangement of melodies and electronics fueled by a storytelling nature. Check out his bandcamp here.

Queen Bee Dream

Hailing from Grand Rapids, this up-and-coming experimental artist has already recorded and put together three of his own tapes by hand, dubbed on found tapes. Dave is dangling on the fringe of the No Wave/Post Punk sound with a hollow, deep guitar sound, honest vocal styling and lyricism, and drums thanks to his Korg ElecTribe A (EA-1). His three tapes definitely have a progression of sound leading up to more concise compositions, but a lot of my favorite tracks were on his first tape. Last time I was in Grand Rapids I had visited him and checked out his set up. Be excited for his debut performance and make sure to check out his bandcamp here prior!

Kyle Landstra

Kyle Landstra currently resides in Kalamazoo. He creates improvised synthesizer music for listeners to close their eyes to and gaze at the soundscapes being formed in their minds. Here is his bandcamp.

Join the event here. Come out around 9 and we will get the show going soon after since it will be a shorter show. Remember to bring bucks for our cross-country touring visitor or for the wide variety of Bridgetown Records catalog he will have! Respect everything!
