WEDNESDAY NOV 8th, 9:00 PM - NOVA EXPRESS CAFE - BACON TEARS UP BUSINESS

BACON TEARS UP BUSINESS is an experimental electronic act which emphasizes that it is "not a laptop operation". The use of vintage synthesizer equipment, drum machines, and a custom-built theremin set up an odd ambient mixture of sound that is more about an atmosphere than a melody. Maddie, the artist, points out that all of the work is being produced live in real time, "by 2 hands, 2 feet, and one mouth."

...but for this show, BACON is teaming up with Los Angeles's little known keyboardist HOSTILE FORK. The Nova Express Cafe has played host to many improvised collaborations, and this one will juxtapose the FORK's modern gear and wafting melodies with BACON's loop-like rhythms and oscillations.

Important note! While still intended as an intimate and free place for bleeding-edge artists to present their work to a casual and socializing cafe-audience, we're trying some significant changes for Nova Wednesday Nights. The time is moving earlier so that people who need to work early on Thursday mornings can still come out for the fun. We'll get the show in gear warming up the audience at 9:00, and start the featured act no later than 9:30. Another performer may then play for those who are sticking around past 10:30...but if you want to you can just stop in for dinner and be assured of catching the featured act between 8:00-10:30.
