all part of HEARTWORM's "History of Love” Group Art Show in

GERM's Bates Memorial Art Gallery....

.. ..

MAX G. MORTON: The original Indestructible Wolf-- will read from his out-of-print gem LOOKING FOR THE MAGIC.  "An eleven-chapter arena of unwell living. Foreword by Boyd Rice, collages by Dominick Fernow. Magic's aura is still black, but it shows tomorrow's colors as the search grows. From the pre-teen kicks of the suburban karate circuit, straight down to the attempted murder of Tiny Tim, back up again at Coney Island High, to a realm of balance in a Park Avenue brothel. Let a teenage klansman, an autistic weatherman, a crackbaby Count, Peggy Moffitt and Polly Magoo of the mainlining set, a sheriff with invisible handcuffs, a Santa Monica painted nightcat and a girl named Kitten be your guide through the second block of the Apocalypse Junkyard."....

.. ..

JONATHAN SHAW: Old school New York tattooist, whorehouse philosopher and "nightmare antihero of the new age" according to Iggy Pop, Jonathan Shaw will share an excerpt from his deeply depraved work of outlaw literature NARCISA: OUR LADY OF ASHES. Copies of his latest release, LOVE SONGS TO THE DEAD, a small collection of dope-sick poems written between 1970 and 1975 will make the perfect Christmas gift, or as he would refer to it, "toilet reader".....

.. ..

CULT OF YOUTH: Nihilistic Pagan Neo-Folk/Post-Industrial from New York City.....

.. ..

DJ JANE ELIZABETH (Tesco USA):  "Tesco USA, the American distribution division of Tesco Germany, was founded 2001 after an auspicious meeting between a New York City DJ and one of the Tesco partners at a London gig for the seminal British power electronics band Whitehouse. It was only two weeks after 9/11, and although we were fortunate not to have been directly affected by the events, watching them unfold with my own eyes left an indelible impression.......

The original "Ground Zero" logo design reflected the context of our genesis and the images often conjured by the soundscapes of industrial music. The logo is a graphic reminder that the impossible can become a reality in the blink of an eye, and that even in the face of unthinkable destruction, anything is possible. We reacted by taking the opportunity to build something new based on the best of what came before... Tesco USA was born of a love for difficult music in a difficult world, and endures with the same."....

FIRE MUSEUM RECORDS PRESENTS:  ....

EXPO 70....

PRINCE RAMA OF AYODHYA....

COMOROS....

EYES LIKE SAUCERS....

.. ..

EXPO 70 -  “The word "psychedelic" gets tossed about all too often these days, usually by indie sophisticates who want to elevate sloppy, unfocused, or just plain unfinished songwriting to some theoretically higher, more esoteric and cerebral plane. What differentiates these so-called "psych" musicians from Missouri's Justin Wright — aka Expo '70 — is that Wright's extended guitar drones are as focused as lasers slowly drilling away into the black chasm of space. Songs develop with great compositional patience, growing almost imperceptibly from an initial buzz into epic nebulae full of dark magnetic noise and occasionally shaken by deep gravitational rumbles. They may be improvised, but more in the tradition of structured German kosmische electronica or sci-fi space rock than the wobbly jams of weaker, more clichéd "psych" music — so let's just throw the genre terms away in this case and let the music stand on its own. Or float, as the case may be.” — J. Graham, SF Weekly

PRINCE RAMA OF AYODHYA -“The trio of Michael Collins, Taraka Larson, and Nimai Larson met in the summer of 2007 on a Florida Hare Krishna farm, relocating to Boston and immersing themselves deep into the creation of ritualistic, holistic, and cinematic psychedelic sound. Having played shows in the US and UK with the likes of Teeth Mountain, Magik Markers, Indian Jewelry and others, their live sets have garnered a reputation for incorporating its audiences into the instrumental fold, and drawing musically from a rich variety of multicultural sources.” – Brian Turner, WFMU

COMOROS - Rare appearance (third ever) from this Fishtown delay-chain duo ."...smeared and blurred to the point of abstract beauty without the usual instrumental signifiers. When identifiable voices do emerge, they simply provide landmarks to help us catch our breath before sliding back into the beautiful murk." –Foxy Digitalis

EYES LIKE SAUCERS - First Philly gig since relocating from Providence, RI. (formerly a member of Urdog) “an absolutely essential piece of music constructed from bleak song fragments interspersed with shimmering waves of haunting Indian pedal harmonium bliss and electronic bedroom experimentation. ... the slightly nico-inspired dish presented here is not easy to digest but the reward is plentiful for everyone willing to make the effort.” - Mats Gustafsson, The Broken Face....

The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered ’60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times.....

Scores of black-cloaked devotees swept the streets of New York, San Francisco, London, Paris, Rome, Chicago, Toronto, Boston, New Orleans and other cities selling magazines with titles like Sex, Fear, Love and Death.....

The Process’ no-holds-barred theology brought on accusations of sinister conspiracies.....

Personalities like Marianne Faithfull, George Clinton and Mick Jagger participated in Process publications, and Funkadelic reproduced Process material in two of their albums. ....

Love Sex Fear Death — written by original Process Church member Timothy Wyllie — is the first book to provide the astonishing inside story of this fascinating group and the mysterious woman at its center. Included are contributions from six other former members and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge.....

“CROOKED HOUSE is full of crooked people telling crooked tales with crooked meanings in a crooked language about their crooked lives in a crooked world. CROOKED HOUSE is written and performed by a single crooked creator.

LizZ comes from the land of grit, escapism, fight, and dreams. She works most often in the lonely, dark realms of playwriting, poetry, and the sonic arts. After New York, Dublin, and a transformation at Temple Eris, she has emerged ready to take on the stage with a sound world created by Philadelphia psychedelic rockers Radio Eris. This is the LizZ performance debut.”
