The Red Masque 
The Red Masque is an original avant-rock band from the Philadelphia area. Part art, part alchemy, the group's experimental songwriting style is both angular and eerie, accented by freeform space rock improvisations, intricate acoustics, dark atmospherics and chunky riffs. Unconventional and eccentric in musical form, the sophisticatedly sinister The Red Masque fuses together such disparate musical references as horror movie soundtracks, rock-in-opposition, progressive rock, experimental, zeuhl, heavy rock, gothic, psychedelia, space rock, and kraut rock. "From Pennsylvania hails a quartet without limitations to their purposes and without shame regarding norms and dogma within new rock." - Tarkus Magazine "In the Nu-progressive rock underground, few bands are as respected and feared as Philadelphia's The Red Masque. Without irony or kitsch, the whirlwind that is Masque ... stalks the darkness of Hammer Horror ambience and cursedly complex musicianship (think Gong meets Bauhaus) with only feedbacking noise, sound-collage clustering and the howl of vocalist Lynnette Shelley to light its way." - Philadelphia City Paper 

Radio Eris 
"Radio Eris craft discordant loveliness from poetry and sound. Founded by shamanic poetess Lora Bloom and studio visionary Matt Stevenson, their live shows are cathartic and overpowering, a vibrant wall of sound incorporating dance, improvisation and spontaneous anarchy into a heady mix. " (Adam Fieled, Philadelphia Independent) 

WOMB 
"The musical duo known as WOMB began in Philadelphia in 2008 as an experiment in abstract communication. Directed precisely and willfully at the subconscious mind of the listener, WOMB's music transliterates emotional facets of the subconscious and is the pure manifestation of those archetypal thought-forms. Inspired by a shared vision received by both members autonomously of one another, WOMB is a formula of transmutation; dissolving and reconstructing the way in which our human emotional spectrum is expressed. Sound is color in this Psychomanteum, and the force of creation gestates in these sounds. Russo-American transcendental sonic-hypnosis for these Noir Times."

In other news we are currently working on new material and booking some more shows, including one with a band that played NEARFEST 2010. Stay tuned for details! 

Sometime in the next few months I hope to completely revamp The Red Masque website, clean up the code, streamline the data etc to make it a faster and easier experience for the user.

	I won't be able to make it. I'd like to see the Red Masque again. It's been a while. But I'm seeing Annie Haslam perform that night.
