January 9th, 2008 marks the 95th birthday of President Richard
M. Nixon.
Join Bell, overlord, and Gates of Heaven for an evening of music
and video
as they celebrate the charmingly obsolete notions of what had constituted
our superlative national disgrace.
Come and forget the last decade, which has rendered Watergate an
adorable
and quaint little heresy of democratic ideals.

---------------------------------------------
Bell is fronted by
belle Olga Bell, a Moscow born keyboardist in NYC by
way of Alaska. Bell is just as likely to wow you with magnetic
vocals
(Olga's voice has been compared to Feist, Bjork, Karen O and David
Bowie)
as with crackerjack instrumental technique, hypercolor arrangements
and
passionate advocacy of early 90s hip-hop covers. Drummer Jason
Nazary,
guitarist Ryan Ferreira and bassist Mike Chiavaro round out the
band.
overlord is a five-piece
indie rock outfit made up of sunny New York music
non-scenesters coalescing around a bitter ex-patriot Philadelphian.
Singer
George Pasles, keyboardist Tris McCall, guitarist Kerry Kennedy, drummer Matt
Houser and bassist Sarah Brockett provide catchy, upbeat pop songs about the
suffocating banality of existence. Whether the latter is evident depends on the
veracity of the P.A. system. Morrissey lawsuit pending.
Gates of Heaven features
Graham Smith aka Kleenex Girl Wonder and Zachary Mexiico of the
Octagon. They have released three albums
in the mere 10 months they've
existed. Their music is self-described as "the middle of the
evening in a
video game forest", which means lots of FM-synthesizers.
After being a sideman in the late 50s, Richard M. Nixon became
the most
prominent voice of early 70s one-hit wonder The Plumbers. Those
lo-fi
recordings are still legendary today.
