ZED NEVER
is an NYC-based art rock trio comprised of veteran artists Dennis Marmon (ex-Blisters, ex-Parasites, GO KART Records) on guitar, Dave Lancet (ex-Peny Dredful and The Bloody Valentines, ex-Hearse, ex-Jack Acid Society) on bass and vocals, and Laszlo Pokorny on drums & samples. Zed Never delivers a version of rock music that combines the unique styles of it's individual members in a way that leaves audiences energized, curious and aware that rock is still a viable form of original artistic expression. All Zed Never shows are accompanied by projection art designed and presented by Andras Pokorny.



PEACEMAKER
is a fairly new project from Rich Hoak (ex:Brutal Truth,Dr/Total Fucking Destruction). The music is at first harsh noise and power electronics, but quickly and mercifully washes over the listener, again and again...



COCKPIT
(feat. very special guest MC: Jason Weston)
Andrew M. Gaspar- turntables
Evan Lipson- bass (Powerlunch/Wolf Vs.)
Mike Pride- drums
"Local hero Mike Pride is no doubt the only musician to ever play with Anthony Braxton and tour with punk legends MDC (Millions of Dead Cops)."
- Bruce Lee Gallenter (Downtown Music Gallery)
"Enter the Cockpit for a very wild and exciting adventure bordering on the cartoonish, with sounds combining and colliding in every direction (DJ Andrew Gaspar often utilizes one player with drum sounds, and the other with strings, confusing and provoking things even further)... High intensity turntable power-trio improvisations, joined by British madcap Biological Cybernetic research scientist/MC, Jason Weston. He will dance for you, he will sing for you, and he will bring you magic cookies at 4:30 in the morning."



THE GREAT QUENTINI
Born in an obscure corner of Pennsylvania. Abducted by space aliens for cross cloning with Yeti. Twelve year residency at Dr Zorg's secret underground space station. Five year unexplained gap. Thirteen years in
Philadelphia recovering from wounds received while fighting Gondar. In the words of an 8-year-old critic: "Don't be afraid Mom, he's just a Sacred Clown."
