Having so far only heard Moth C-o-c-k's recordings, I must defer to a quote to describe them best: "Anyone who has seen Moth C-o-c-k perform live music can't help but wonder at the disconnect between the physical reality of what they see before their eyes in relation to the sounds that hit their skulls." This duo from Kent, OH has been wailing away for almost 2 decades, mixing their own blend of psychotic free-jazz tinged with psychedelic noise. Their recorded catalog resides mostly on the Chicago-based label Hausu Mountain. They retain mysterious connections to Bloomington, including an album titled "In Pursuit Of Carmichael's Hoagie," an aunt I met in Hoagy's room, and living the same distance to Bloomington as to Chicago. Get ready for the wild, freaky joy to descend upon our town.

In this collaboration, Josh Glinis and Ben Myers link their synthesizers together and into the visual dimension. Fusing digital circuits and analog tapes, the two create slowly morphing sights and sounds that will delight and mesmerize.

Brett Alan Gershon explores sonic worlds through his tinkering interests in electronic circuitry, computer code, and electro-acoustic resonance. His humble forays into these interests are supported by the kindness and generous contributions of the Lines community (https://llllllll.co). His sound collages explore difficult to discern rhythms, washed out ambient textures and medleys of genres.

Guitars of Middle Western USA at it's core is the duo of John Dawson and Jordan Allen. John was a major player in the scene when he lived in Bloomington: from recording, running Magnetic South, playing in a dozen bands and heading up Thee Open Sex. Jordan has played in a number of bands including Heavy Mother and Crazy Doberman and performed at a Black Hole event last year as Mere Man. These noodle-wranglers tap and strum out harmoniously to the middle western landscapes-a thickly heady fog settles over the cornfields as the moon disappears behind the clouds. You hear it everywhere you go: good times are coming and they're sure coming slow.
