CORDERO This powerful, Brooklyn-based quartet is equally at home amongst the New York art rock scene or the vibrant Rock en Español movement. The music is an intoxicating amalgam of shake-your-hips rock and punk-ish abandon, tangled up in sensual Latin rhythms and verses. Rave-ups that effortlessly conjure the angular rawk of Gang of Four spiced with moody, South of the border ballads. With smoky, sultry vocals, group leader and namesake, Ani Cordero, will have you weeping in your drink just as easily as she will snake-charm you out of mourning and straight past the velvet ropes onto the dance floor.
...And The Wiremen perform the songs of former Bee and Flower/Cordero (current Gachupin, Barnes/Becker/Wright Trio) guitarist Lynn Wright. Their music combines images of a gothic Deep South with the rhythms of South America and the grainier elements of barroom jazz and avant-pop. The band features Paul Watson (Sparklehorse, Fred Frith) on Cornet, Chris Michael and Sergio Borrero (Coba, Gachupin) on drums and percussion, Eric Eble on bass, Tim Ward on vocals, and Jon Petrow (Cloudroom, Gachupin) on guitar.

Picture the Meters, the Clash, Dirty Dozen, and James Brown meeting in a dark alley in a bad part of town and then you might get the idea.

02.12.08 | Sonya Vallet and Los Prófugos Galácticos
The best kept secret in town…that's what friends call her. When Baltimore native Sonya Vallet improvises in any style people wonder who she gets if from. The cross-cultured quadrilingual eldest of a musical family, she debuted at 17 in her father's quartet opening for jazz master Oscar Peterson as the only woman at the 1st Jazz Festival of Madrid. She worked and studied with the likes of gospel legend Donna Hightower, Brazilian genius Fernando Girão, Japanese diva Monday Michiru, world beat virtuoso Danny Heines, and jazz bass masters Ron Carter and Jimmy Haslip. Sonya has mused with her original poems and compositions to sculpt a unique repertoire for Los Prófugos Galácticos, her new collaboration with pianist Erik Deutsch. The ensemble explores world beat jazz with pop and electronic undertones (think Bebel Gilberto meets Portishead and Joni Mitchell.) The group has begun work on their first record and continues to impress audiences that experience the live show. "My main drive comes from vocal improvisation, but I dabble on piano, percussion, guitar, paint or draw in phases, and I still want to dance!" she says.

The band adopted its denomination of "Cumbiamba" from the cultural vocabulary of the north western Caribbean coast in South America.

8:30 Nat Benjamin (of The Flesh)
9 pm Ghost-Wise
10 pm Anton Sword
"Should you have forgotten what a beautiful ballad is or what a finely crafted good pop song sounds like, Anton Sword has 'A Sentimental Education' ready for you: 11 wonderfully produced songs of melancholy, love and the fleetingness of human existence...dark but tender."
Anton's keyboard and voice are currently joined by Jessica Hallman on cello, Kristofer Widholm on guitar, and Joanna Choy on second voice. And sometimes by drums as well.
Ghost-Wise began as an experiment. After enlisting Jason Binnick on bass, Nathan Halpern on guitar, and Jan Haux on drums, it was clear that the purpose of the Ghost-Wise band was not so much to write about ghosts, but to write with them. All of the songs on the up-coming album reference prior lives, broken pasts, static beings in the universe, and the peripheral effects on a young soul haunted by haunters. The spirits have names! They are loved and wanted! Years later, this reunion has brought them back together…to remember. They are experts in sad story telling.

Balla Kouyate is an extraordinary balafon player from the Djeli or "griot" tradition in Mali. The Kouyates were the first Djelis in the Mande Empire. The balafon (ancestor of the xylophone) was given to Balla's ancestors by nobles in the 12th century and has remained in his family ever since. His father, El Hadj Sekou Kouyate, is the guardian of the very first balafon, the Sosso Bala, dating back more than 800 years.

12.13.07 | PYENG THREADGILL
On the heels of this impressive introduction, her latest effort, Of The Air faces up to a tall order. "Sweet Home" was named one of the best debut albums of 2004 by the San Diego Union Tribune and C. Michael Bailey in his review for All About Jazz said, "this very well may be the best recording of 2004 to come my way". Pyeng, however, is confident that her penchant for simultaneously reaching forward and back will once again achieve her goal to incorporate music of the past with contemporary music: African American traditionals/spirituals, the avant garde and her own modern alternative experience in punk, R&B and soul. Of The Air (the meaning of 'Pyeng', as assigned by her mother) delivers the same risk-taking, soulful, transcendent qualities of "Sweet Home". "An artist with a point of view and the chops to bring it to life" (onefinalnote.com), Pyeng Threadgill is a name that's hard to forget and an artist who produces music for the ages.

Alper Yılmaz's debut release on Kayique Records features his multifaceted compositions which reflect the clashes and tensions sprung from his musical and intellectual journeys spread over geographies, spanning from United States to Turkey. Alper's music evolves from distinct repetitive themes—cinematic at times. Recorded with two different lineups, yet with the same instrumentation, "Clashes" brings together musicians from New York and Istanbul , each of whom is a master on his instrument, to a musical platform of free expression and improvisation. While the album has a strong statement and sound framed around Alper Yılmaz's compositions and bass playing, each musician's unique and versatile approach can be distinctly heard in "Clashes." Tonight's party is presented by non-profit cultural organization Moon and Stars Project (http://moonandstarsproject.org/)

The Albany Times wrote, "Each of the movements had a distinctive character or groove, with much rhythmic invention and interesting harmonic wanderings, often the result of gently sliding counterpoint. While there was nothing that screamed "I'm trying to sound like rock music," the work was utterly contemporary and street-smart, and offered fine, idiomatic writing for strings."

"One of the most difficult groups in the entire Southeast to pigeonhole, this wonderfully entertaining and downright captivating Asheville trio´s name just about says it all. Echoes of acoustic ragtime, Old-Time C & W, creaky carnival themes, early rock and roll (think Ricky Nelson), and R & B all swirl in and out of the mix. Quirky and precocious, they´re an anachronistic version of the sampling aesthetic which fuels alternative hip-hop — but they´re using upright bass, ukulele, fiddle, guitar, and kazoo rather than turntables and digital keyboards. It´s a like a mashup between The Mississippi Sheiks and Little House on The Prairie.” — Connect Savannah

Doctor Rosen Rosen is a Brooklyn based singer/producer who's innovative craftsmanship combines punchy g-funk style beats and dramatic melodies. Anchored by a soulful voice and forthright lyrics, this rogue-pop style is simultaneously reminiscent of Snoop Dog, Mike Patton, and Prince. ( myspace.com/drrosenrosenmusic)
Tippy's diminutive frame and pale, punk rock aesthetic hides a surprisingly compelling hip-hop artist. Tippy transforms herself on stage, emanating an intoxicating sensuality, as daring and contagious as her music itself. Seducing her audience with a lyricism that seesaws between vulnerability and sexual voracity, sweet flirtation and unabashed craving, its no wonder Tippy has built such a solid following with her recounts of Cali streets, late rendezvous, and good love gone bad. ( myspace.com/tippymusic)
Arni Kristjansson has made a name for himself in the Icelandic DJ scene as one of the most prolific and diverse DJs around. He has played all the major Icelandic venues as well as being a resident at club nights electronicpub and Nuphoria while stationed in Tokyo. Deeply influenced by brazilian music, hip hop, minimal techno, dubstep and broken beats, he is one of the most distinguished DJ talents to be found in the Arctic Circle.

It has evolved into a party for hardcore music nerds who are bored with the usual genre-tunnel-vision that dominates DJ nights in New York. The party attracts a laid back crowd of techno hipsters, witchy ladies, and creative professionals who want to have a few drinks and meet like minded folks after work. Whoever tells the hostess the sauciest kiss and tell secret of the night wins a fabulous prize. Seze is extremely excited about moving the party to Rose Live Music.

As a composer and bandleader he furnishes an environment of maximum volatility and risk - an environment that creates an opportunity for fresh responses.

11:30PM - With rapier wit, stunning musicality and wacky stage antics, Eric Biondo a.k.a. Beyondo performs with music acts ranging from Antibalas to trancey-fusion jazz groups to Monkees reunions.. There's levity in Beyondo's material in a "space age bachelor pad" way, but Beyondo goes a step beyond. He composes sophisticated pop songs simpatico with Burt Bacharach, Steely Dan and Tears for Fears ("Heart of Gold"), with vocalese and lead instruments that twist and turn around enchanting melodic hooks. –Naomi Beard, The One

10.24.07 | THE INBETWEENS + THOUGHT
The Inbetweens emerged in the summer of 2002, from the roots of improvisation, curiosity, and like minds. They collectively weave melodies and vamps into intricate spiderwebs of rhythm. The trio circles each other like predators seeking the same prey, forcing the standard guitar trio format to walk the plank. Before they were the tweens, they lived in Boston, where they each spent time gigging and studying jazz at the New England Conservatory of Music with gurus such as Bob Moses, George Garzone, John Lockwood, and John Abercrombie. Since then Guitarist Mike Gamble, bassist Noah Jarrett, and drummer Conor Elmes have been performing bi-monthly as a trio in the NYC area and have put out three self-released albums. You can also hear the trio backing up the Brooklyn Qawwali Party, among many other NYC-based groups.
Male/Female intertwined vocals and horns with a power trio give Thought their distinctive sound. With influences from Pop-Rock to Afrobeat, they are known for their high-energy performances geared towards Dance.

NATION BEAT
Inspired by the Afro-Brazilian rhythms of maracatu, Chico Science & the Mangue Beat movement, the NATION BEAT has created an incredible, fresh new sound. They transcend borders musically and literally. In 2005, with sponsorship by the Brazilian Department of Culture they became the first North American group to collaborate and record in Brazil with the legendary Maracatu Nação Estrela Brilhante led by Mestre Walter and rhythm master Jorge Martins. Which nation, and which beat? What makes this group of musicians special is that they offer no simple answers. Nation Beat plays American music…both North and South American music.

10.10.07 | Grupo Los Santos
". . . [T]he only faith to which these four American musicians appear to devote themselves is the impassioned and serious investigation of traditional Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, in order to incorporate them into their own jazz-based compositions. These interpretive experiments have succeeded in creating a mix at times explosive and sizzling, like the Brazilian coastline or Afrocaribbean flavor. . . others exude melodies that produce that certain languid sensation which beckons us to more intimate places." -Diana Vargas, VIDAHOY (NY)
