Halos!

We here at Lighthouse Promotions ( http://www.lighthousepromo.net ) are getting ready to do an overhaul on the website. A dear friend has begun the process of web-weaving his magic and soon... soon you will get not only a glimpse, but a voice too! The goal is to make the whole site interactive.... so you can comment on everything. Feedback is fun.

THIS WEEK IN NOVA NEWS:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Wednesday, May 17
ANDRE LAFOSSE ( http://www.altruistmusic.com )
with special guests Jed and Lucia ( http://www.jedandlucia.com )
9pm
All ages * all wages
Nova Express Cafe ( http://www.novaexpresscafe.com )

ANDRE LAFOSSE is an instrumental guitarist, producer, and chronic deconstructionist. His obsessive experiments with gene-splicing the seemingly disparate worlds of instrumental musicianship and post-DJ thought have won him acclaim, controversy, and more than a few puzzled looks from his listeners. His iconoclastic first CD, Disruption Theory, juxtaposed live electric guitar against intricate electronic programming, and was greeted with both serious critical praise and serious commercial obscurity.

JED AND LUCIA come from two distinctly different but complementary songwriting traditions. Jed being from the Pacific Northwest and Lucia hailing from Sweden, their collective voice is one of Seattle and Stockholm finding common musical ground. Playing host to this experiment is Southern California, where the naturally cold and rain-drenched angst of the two songwriters has been set out to dry beneath the relentless sun.
