Rei Scampavia Evangelista- piano, vox, etc. with Robert Lopez-drums, percussion, a.o. -from Oakland, CA -Grex is an art rock band based out of Oakland, California. In biological terms, “grex” refers to the aggregation of a multitude of tiny, amoeba-like creatures combining to create a superorganism. Grex (the band) works the same way: two musicians who can function as one, the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Grex is a biological term that refers to the aggregation of a multitude of tiny, amoeba-like creatures combining to create a superorganism. Grex (the band) works the same way: two musicians who can function as one, the whole greater than the sum of its parts. The band's mission: to explore the meeting point between fun, delightfully strange songcraft and the dark outer reaches of experimental music. The group has been called "an otherworldly experience" (Eugene Weekly) and "true genre warping music" (KFJC), recalling the explosive energy of Jimi Hendrix, the dark power of the Pixies, and the whimsical weirdness of Deerhoof. Grex's creative derring-do has led to performances with the likes of Fred Frith, Tony Levin (King Crimson), Scott Amendola (TJ Kirk, Nels Cline Singers), Eddie Gale (Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor), Steve MacKay (the Stooges), Zeena Parkins, and Martin Bisi, and concerts at venues as diverse as The Great American Music Hall, the Switchboard Festival (SF), United States of Asian America Festival (SF), The Sonic Circuits Festival (DC), and Myra Melford's New Frequencies Festival (SF). Voicehandler Jacob Felix Heule, Danishta Rivero -from Oakland, CA -Voicehandler plays intuitive, incantatory music grounded in the most primitive and somatic instruments juxtaposed with contemporary electronics. Light from another light is a collection of improvised pieces representative of Voicehandler's live sets from the past couple years. The instrumentation differs from their previous album with Rivero making extensive use of modular electronics, and Heule expanding to a full drum kit. The performance is loose and exploratory, at various times energetic and meditative. Rivero’s voice embraces noise, with the lines blurred between electronic processing and extended vocal techniques. Heule’s drumming maintains its typical ear for timbre within the context of driving percussive intensity. Chiromancer -from Oakland, CA -CHIROMANCER is a plate-juggly art rock duo from Oakland, CA: Evelyn Davis (Frankenixon, Cheer-Accident) Nord and drummer Charlie Werber (Guzzlemug, Murmur) |
