Cyndee Lee Rule is a classically-trained violinist who enjoys playing spacerock on her 5-string electric violin. Her performance at the What Festival will include pieces from her debut CD "UFOsmosis". Cyndee uses many different guitar effects to change the tone of her Mark Wood Viper, making the sound range from classical violin, to Steve Hillage inspired spaceguitar, to Neil Young flavored fuzzguitar. Cyndee has toured with Nik Turner of the legendary spacerock band Hawkwind (with US backing band Spaceseed) and has also performed with Philly-area spacerock band Scattered Planets. In this classic late-19th-century novel, poet Leopold von Sacher- Masoch explores the psychological dynamics of masochism through the story of Severin von Kusiemski, a nobleman whose idea of bliss is to be the slave of the sadistic Wanda. Firebrand Theory is staging THE ONCE BANNED CLASSIC OF FEMALE DOMINATION OF THE MALE. Masochism, according to Krafft-Ebing, was where someone 'is controlled by the idea of being completely and unconditionally subject to the will of a person of the opposite sex; of being treated by this person as by a master, humiliated and abused. This idea is coloured by lustful feeling; the masochist lives in fantasies, in which he creates situations of this kind and often attempts to realise them' (ibid: 86). Sadism is linked to the actual infliction of pain, masochism has an element of fantasy generated by the masochist.
Radio ERIS formed as a recording project between poet Lora Bloom and musician Matt Stevenson. The project debuted as a rock band in February 1999 and has continued to record and perform until the very moment you are reading this and on into the future... From poetry readings, open mics and coffee houses to rock clubs, stages, battle-of-the-bands events, afterhours bars, strip clubs, art galleries, warehouses and basements, Radio ERIS shows no signs of ceasing transmission...
Experience summer, autumn, winter and spring through this merging of sound, breath and movement. Musicians will create a sound environment that will interact, provoke and merge with movement as Toni Zuper combines classical asana with modern dance. This performance will synthesize interactive improvisation with rehearsed progressions.
Sketch comedy? Screw that. Sketch tragedy - that's the ticket! SKITSoid shows off another one of its many personalities in the most tragically funny show you'll see at the Fringe this year. Explore your underbelly with us and find out why only the good die young. Redbeard
When the lights come up, Abe The Rockstarr & The Happy Hour Band (featuring the Happy Hour Dancers, "S" & "M") take original rock to a new level. From the brooding story of life in, & beyond wartime via "Facility" to the in your face tale of life after the party as told in "Wasn't She??" the toes keep tapping & the hands keep clapping to the groove laid down by Brian "The Hobbitt" Heyer on Drums, Adam "The Governer" Mizelle on Bass Guitar, Matt "Mr. Stevenson" Stevenson on Keys, & Abe The Rockstarr on Guitar. There will be a ticketed raffle to close each show, so keep your ticket stubs handy. Come to rock the night away Howard’s Dilemma is a wacky combination of music, comedy and performance art that is unlike anything else. Howard, (“the city’s most eccentric outcast” – Philadelphia City Paper), communicates through a group of zany alter-egos who invite the audience to join them as they sing eponymous odes, explore cookie-cutter culture and redefine dance.

Free School The Philly Free School is a multi-media artists' co-op seeking to post-modernize "performance". That is, we recognize that the post-modern revolution has come and gone, and with it the boundaries between high and low, urbane and profane, stuffy and scruffy. Poets created "Language" poetry, Bowie & Eno & others deconstructed rock, Delillo let the disjunctive cat out of the bag, etc. Somehow, the desire to create events out of this new bracing chaos got lost. Philly Free School directors Mike Land and Adam Fieled have been dragged by the moribund spirit of post-modernity out into the public sphere. Rock, poetry, fiction, film, essay-- the Free School must encompass all of these, with or without irony, hip detachment, and cynicism. The Philly Free School is a polyglot organization with the polyglot goal of speaking to everyone. This is their bane and their exultation, their cross and their water. Please join 'em. The Runway at the End of the World: War, famine, the antichrist… Why should the end of the world mean the end of style? An eclectic array of designers, artists, and crafters create both utilitarian and outrageous end-of-days apparel. The catwalk of Armageddon is fabulous with hot survivor-models and dirty post-industrial grooves. A romp in speculative anthropology.
Agents of Karma (Radio Eris Side Project): Something clanks, something squeaks, a naked hand touches you in the dark. A wall of noise hits you like a brick in the face. You are carried gently away. Agents of Karma perform outside this reality tunnel, on the edge of celestial bodies. Ambient voodoo soundscapes wound around darkly spiritual, spooky and gruesome spoken-word. Expect suprising visuals. “Like Lydia Lunch and Brian Eno jamming in a Nazi Death Camp.” What Open Mic MIKE has been less than forthcoming lately. And we hope by doing this he will be a little more open, otherwise, we may have to get some expensive therapy for him. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Sexcop What
Drum Thing Bring a drum and beat it. Open Drum Circle...Indoor. All percusive instruments are welcome. Michael Mantra
A trashy psych garage rock band that draws from the members of Radio Eris, The Freedom People, Sense Offenders and The Open Minded Men. Those that now make up Sub-Primitive have diverse backgrounds from psych, garage, space rock, blues, free form improve and many other genres. Re-created in May of 2004 the Sub-Primitive main core is comprised of Bob Lennon on guitar, synth & vocals, Matt Stevenson on Bass, keyboards & vocals & Redbeard on Drums, guitar & vocals. And featuring Barry Bush on violin with countless other part-time members such as didgeridoo players and hand percussion. The multi-instrumentalist approach is the direction that the band is taking in spite of the heavy trashy pounding they are currently producing. Although they play mostly originals SP are throwing in classics by the likes of The Stooges, Hawkwind, Chrome, Swell Maps and also taking on the Nightcrawlers classic ?Little Black Egg? for fun. A gig with Sub-Primitive playing is entertaining in a gritty way: many improvised sections, effects-laden bass as well as blistering fuzz/wah guitar. Always with a guaranteed insane freakout ending.
