April shows

April 6 we performed our first ever acoustic set. Our friend *L* of the FRANKENART MART on Balboa and 6th street. Her shop is and interactive installation selling locally made crafts and art. April 24 we performed at VITUS in Oakland with Noctooa and Urstrega from Italy. Urstrega got things roaring with intricate droning acoustic instruments with a striped down jazz kit keeping time and matching intensity. We had a little trouble working around the wires and a piano, but other than the electric shocks from the microphones the set went as well as could be expected. The guitar solos were a little more improvised then usual that evening, which ended up working out well. Noctooa closed the night with their dark-wave inspired liturgical seance. *S* and *J* have been supportive this band throughout our friendship and we look forward to working with them again soon.
