Squirm Orchestra and The Minor 2nds
Friday, November 11th. 7:00pm
@ Indi Go Artist Co-op
9 E. University Ave. Champaign

Squirm Orchestra is an instrumental quartet that nibbles on the edges of
jazz, experimental, hotwired gamelan, rock, drone, electronic and free form
musics, but doesn't reside in any of them. A quartet based in southwest
Michigan/northwest Indiana, they utilize guitar, bass, drums, flute, thumb
piano, glockenspiel, school bells, and samplers, among other things. They
have composed and performed live soundtracks for a half dozen silent films,
toured throughout the midwest and east coast, gotten praise from WFMU
("finely crafted both visually and aurally"), BBC's Radio 3 ("very fine"),
The Onion's AV Club ("think The Books meets the industrial clang of
Einsturzende Neubauten"), and have shared stages with acts varying from
Mucca Pazza, Freakwater, Mice Parade, Boom Bip, Archer Prewitt, Jonny
Corndawg, and The USAISAMONSTER.

The Minor 2nds are a quintet of  very young musicians (plus two older
"kids" thrown in) who play everything from originals in the terrain of
folk/Philip Glass/ornate pop/country to covers of Loudon Wainright III, The
Extraordinaires, and Carolina Chocolate Drops.  Two violins, flute,
glockenspiel, Rhodes piano, and a rubber band bass, wielded by 5 people not
old enough to drive, and an older drummer and guitarist to make sure they
get to the gigs, they have a little something for everyone.

$7 for adults, $5 for students, and free for children under 10. More
