Radio Eris
“Philadelphia’s post everything band” A.D. Amorosi, City
Paper
“Radio Eris craft discordant loveliness from poetry and sound. Founded
by shamanic poetess Lora Bloom and studio visionary Matt Stevenson,
their live shows are cathartic and overpowering, a vibrant wall of sound incorporating
dance, improvisation and spontaneous anarchy into a heady mix.“ Adam
Fieled, Philadelphia Independent.

Audiophyle
Audiophyle has been a do-it-yourself operation
for over 10 years now. A venue like the Highwire Gallery
is the type
of venue
we want to play because the organization embraces the do-it-yourself
attitude with distinguished professionalism. The Highwire
provides a space that has no rules or boundaries for the creation that
takes place
within it. Plus we really enjoy inter-mixing with the other
artists contributing to the event. Audiophyle has always
walked
away
from past shows inspired
with a desire to continue creating and contributing to
the Philadelphia artistic scene.

Thomas Nöla
Bostonian Thomas
Nöla and his fluctuating
orchestra waltz you through the golden ages, score curious zoetropes,
and melt
the senses. Sometimes
they even visit your town. After debuting with the 2005 soundtrack to
his own film "The Doctor", Nöla has gone on to release
3 more full lengths and entertained the moody cabarets of Germany and
Spain. But what is to come next?
Thomas Nöla will perform his set with an intimate, stripped-back
lineup. More at www.eskimofilms.com

David E. Williams
Though he's dabbled in cabaret, abrasive electronics and even film
scores, David E. Williams is best known for electro-symphonic
pop and a lyrical
humor so dark that it's not really funny. Some might call it gallows
humor, but "gas chamber humor" is a bit more accurate for his
love songs rife with murder, abuse and obscure references to eating.
Williams has been described as "Barry Manilow's evil twin" (Jim
Knipfel, NY Press), "Liberace with a brain tumor" (Michael
Moynihan, Blood Axis) and "Andrew Lloyd Webber in the final stages
of cerebral cancer" (Headpress, U.K.). In 2007, Italy's Old Europa
Cafe Records released THE APPEAL OF DISCARDED ORTHODOXY, a critically-acclaimed
double CD of 38 international artists covering Williams' songs.
