Daedelus 

Koof Ibi Umoren

St. Michael/Ape School

The Santo Casur

Email

<p>An evening of unambient electronics, grunts, chortles, chorps, snorts and whistles. Some looped! Others blurted. Smiling in songs is fine, but lose the shorts. Saint Michael's on Cumberland. October 5. Sundown. Doors at 8.</p><p></p><p>The Santo Casur is Che Ramirez. Che's 100% brickwork. Pops up here and there with Flanafi. He's right behind you even as we speak. Come stand in front of him as he runs Neubauten through a rainbow pasta re-animator. </p><p></p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pjscIggsKRc" start="0"></iframe></div><p></p><p></p><p>St. Michael + Koof Ibi Umoren will follow, first time in public. Koof's been popping up and popping on all over the east coast this year with trumpet seeded delay clouds leaking out the back of his interstate weathered hatchback. Old soul? Understatement. </p><p>St. Michael is Michael Johnson, longtime Philadelphia band-quitter, edu-comedian and complaint geyser. Michael used to do Ape School, and he's played with any number of notables since 2005. None offered him work when his cult collapsed. This set will be stepped sideways, pulled wantonly from the ether, and then quickly discarded. Bring a camera. This will mark the first appearance of the legendary MIDIWIZARD monolith since 2014. </p><p></p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2LvQgn_w2nI" start="0"></iframe></div><p></p><p></p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/s8jsjsy1rJ0" start="0"></iframe></div><p></p><p></p><p>Daedelus requires a bit less tongue in the cheek to truly do justice. A man of honor, purpose, dignity and pure wide-eyed joy at the possibility of possibility. His music, 25 years into the century, continues to pull at the loose threads of form and function, and his recent explorations prove that musical exorcism mustn't be always throat curdled. His list is long. His heart is huge. Showman, cordially. </p><p></p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8UB4iOTcsng" start="0"></iframe></div><p></p><p>Finally, to mask the grotesque nature of our performers' visages this evening, Grant Bouvier will provide elaborate visual accompaniment from start to finish. He's been everywhere this year as well. In fact, he's standing right behind Che right now. Smell that?</p><p></p><div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="true" autoplay="false" disablekbcontrols="false" enableiframeapi="false" endtime="0" ivloadpolicy="0" loop="false" modestbranding="false" origin="" playlist="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GDKqdgzYyJI" start="0"></iframe></div><p></p><p></p>
