Wednesday * May 15 * 7pm * $10-15 * TICKETS

The Electric Nature is a psychedelic, experimental improv group from Athens, GA. They have a recent LP on Feeding Tube Records, as well as recent cassette releases on Eiderdown Records, We, Here, & Now! Recordings, and Null Zone Tapes. Their new album, Plastic Mind, came out April 5 on Already Dead Records. For this tour, The Electric Nature is a 2-piece performing a more electronic version of what they usually do on their albums. Using the dubby compositions of Plastic Mind as a springboard, Michael Potter (electronics, guitar, and vocals) and Zoots Houston (pedal steel and effects) play a kind of cosmic industrial boogie: psychedelic and noisy, dancey and jammy all at once.

Tarotplane is P.J. Dorsey from Baltimore MD. He has released a number of albums on labels such as 12th Isle, Patience/Impatience & Constellation Tatsu. Working mostly with the guitar, his work has been described as “new school kosmiche”. It has its feet in the classic style of 70’s pioneers like Achim Reichel & Manuel Gottsching, but looks to put a more contemporary spin on that sound.

AM Howard was born in DC and came of age in the New Mexico plains and West Texas Bars. His solo guitar work falls somewhere between modern American primitive fingerpicking, looping/loping ambient country, and Motorik-inspired drives into the middle distance. Call it Kosmiche Americana.
