Koen Holtkamp has released two solo albums as Aero and two albums as Mountains, a duo project with Brendon Anderegg. Holtkamp has performed with the likes of Alan Licht, Aki Onda, Fennesz, Tony Conrad, Greg Davis, Minamo & Tape. His work focuses on extending the inherent characteristics of the acoustic guitar via electronics and computers.

QUEENS is the solo project of Brooklyn resident Scott Mou. After two hypnotically charged albums as the duo JANE (Paw Tracks, Psych-o-Path) with Noah Lennox of the Animal Collective & touring as a part of the improvisational group Usun with Hisham Bharoocha, Mark Borthwick and Dave Aaron it's time to release his solo entity. Nylon
string guitar, voice and minidisc recordings are fed through a haze of delay creating a trance inducing fog which falls somewhere between Arthur Russell & Simon Finn. Intimate, dark and beautiful.

"Mysterious, yet familiar and warm, High Places channels the spirit of school bus sing-a-longs, back country camping trips, and first prize science fair projects, while conjuring dreams of faraway places through the use of field recordings, contact mics on houshold items, wind instruments and electronic thingamabobs." -- Bill Nye (T.S.G.)

Crash Diet Crew is Michi Turner on Fender Rhodes and Moog and Diego Hadis (ex-Saccharomanic Targets) on guitars and effects. They have been playing together since May, and this is their first show.
