Blurb from The Chronicle recommended shows:
The Church of the Friendly Ghosts's reappearence at the Salvage Vanguard Theater this year meant only good things for the local experimental scene, and it closes out the year in high style. The Friday Group, featuring Charalambides guitarist Tom Carter and Iron Kite's Shawn David McMillen and Brian C. Smith, is sure to be a sensory overload of Texas drone, preceded by the noise jigsaw of Jherri Seinfeldt's Atrophied Saq, plus local miscreants Doug Ferguson, the Noisettes, and Clear Spot, as well as various orgiastic combinations of the aforementioned bands.
