On July 14th Hive76 will be hosting a class on piezo transducers! What’s so cool about peizo transducers? They let you turn anything into an electric instrument that you can amplify, record, and experiment with! These nifty little devices turn vibrations into usable electrical signals -and the nice thing is that they’re dirt cheap and easy to work with.

The songs are deep but not sorrowful and there is a sense of humor in some that can only come out when you are sleeping in a tent and considering the name ‘Frankenfish’ for the album title, but “Chesapeake” won out and Frankenfish became the name of my label. Midway through recording the album, we had a listening party bbq tonight where one person said to me that the songs sound like I’m in control of my own life now and I think she is right. “Chesapeake” has been made with a lot of love in the room (and tequila) and like the Franken fish that can swim and walk on land is surprising the hell outta me.

PhilaMOCA are proud to formally announce our second annual celebration of the Eraserhood with ERASERHOOD FOREVER (AND EVER). The event will be held on Friday, July 12, 2013 and will be comprised of a David Lynch-themed art show followed by Lynch-themed entertainment featuring:

SILENCIO : Pittsburgh-based orchestral ensemble who deliberately evoke the mood and sound of the films of David Lynch. Haunting and beautiful, Badalamenti would be proud.

WEIRD HOT : Philly-based six-piece party band known for their garish grooves, happening harmonies, and creative covers. Always the strangest and most stylish weirdos at the party.
Fun fact: Weird Hot frontman Shawn Kilroy is credited with bringing the Lynch/Callowhill connection to the masses with his short film ERASERHEAD NEIGHBORHOOD.
