HUMMINGBIRD POSTS March 16th  thru March 23rd 2015

--YONATON GAT (GUITARIST WHO DESCRIBES HIS MUSIC AS "homeless between the Middle East and New York.” Zeno Songbird adds that it’s trippy, tight, and fresh.  He’s creating soundscapes below innocent melodies, maybe aural figures for “homeless” children. And some of his power licks are amped and distorted like Neil Young’s soundtrack for Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man. And enjoy runs tinged with the Ventures and the best guitar sounds out of the Prog Rock era.  He’s not afraid to experiment, but he’s making music, not noise.  Also appearing will be Knoxville’s multidimensional, raspy singer-songwriter, Klint Kratzer @ THE PILOT LIGHT MONDAY, MARCH 16TH @ 10:00 PM, AGE 18+, $10.

This could be very interesting:

Plunderphonics, thought stimulating rappers who derive much of their inspiration from legendary experimental musician/composer John Oswald. This is a public outdoor free festival so I imagine they’ll leave explicit language out of their performance but I cannot say for sure. Thirty years ago, composer John Oswald was mixing prerecorded tunes before anyone else. It’s cool to know there are three young guys living in Koxville in 2015 who are expressing themselves with techniques that their sonic patriarch created.
