Wonderporium Album Release Party

 

The Wonderporium presents an evening of improvised electronic music to celebrate the release of their debut album, Two Impromptus.

“Two Impromptus” features two long-form improvisations they recorded in the midst of a January snowstorm. The end result is at once patient and cinematic, glacial and hyper-eclectic. As these explorations unfold, the scenes set themselves: barren midwest tundras, fire-lit parlors, mountainside temples, abandoned Cold War radar stations, a celebration of the end times.

We’re so excited to be hosting our talented friends. They will perform 1, maybe 2 sets of amazing music for you to enjoy. This event is FREE, just pay for any food or beverages.

SIRENA Album Release Party

Come hang out with the crew behind SIRENA, have some treats and enjoy Giant Jones beer!!

An original story conceived by Filipina artist, Leslie Damaso, set within new compositions and contemporary arrangements of kundiman songs of love and freedom. Sirena blends a personal story, family secrets, a mythic love triangle ending in the beginning of a nation, the displacement of its people, and an individual’s search for identity and belonging. This is an act of weaving together pieces to heal what’s beneath our scars; it is a journey back to the sweetness of life.
