From Sam....
Gawd!! I hope the walls don’t cave in on us THIS SUNDAY, Strangers!!
Sunday, May 13 will be the loudest Stay Strange yet!! Frank Melendez and Riververb! Also on the bill is the equally loud Actuary from Los Angeles. Plus a rare performance by artist Gerritt Wittmer.
SUNDAY, MAY 13-
RIVERVERB/ACTUARY/GERRITT WITTMER
THE KAVA GALLERY - 2804 KETTNER BLVD - 7PM - $5.00 - ALL AGES SHOW!
Riververb is always in a constant change, and I hear that the latest incarnation is the best so far! Judge for yourself! it’s some heavy stuff! Face morphing grinder sludge. Last time Riververb played, no slayed, the smoke turned black from monolithic chunks of acid-noise.
Actuary shake the shit loose! Los Angeles breeds some sick stuff and this by no means drops the ball. Not only are this tunes in your face, it’s in your skull too! Mean ass nitro venom. Gory!!
Gerritt Wittmer is an artist in the darkest sense possible. I’m not sure what he’ll be doing at this month’s Stay Strange, but if it’s anything like his performance at LUFF, it’s going to be scary!!!

Skilled Slow Passion
Robert Wyatt - Comicopera
(Domino) by Eric Nielsen 10.14.07
 The album title Comicopera is translucent and secretive at the same time. It allows for a fair amount of playfulness while at the same time burning straight to the heart. So emotional, so passionate, this disc emboldens your self into memories of places and times sacred and noble. The voice resonates with life experience. What are you looking for in music? A transition away? A melding of feelings? An affirmation of the edges of the soul that permeate a voice? A sensitivity to the realia of a thoughtfulness? An awareness of the quiet times? This album beckons to seekers of the journey to the east, with a weighty meaningfulness, a feeling of travel, of flying, of watching a life in movie speed where stories unfold, tension is built and released, where the minor structures of the pieces build into a huge mural of sounds. Like walking downtown SF peaking, unfolding of flowers and the time it takes to grow redwood bark. “If you’re still there, stay true, there is more to come.”
