Tony Blowad
Tony Blowad is the new duo between Pittsburgh musician David Bernabo (Assembly, Vale and Year, HiTEC) and Pittsburgh-by-way-of-Bloomington and Chicago musician Matt Griffin (Unstable Ensemble, OIO, Early Day Miners). The duo is awaiting their first show where they will perform together for the first time, Bernabo on prepared and unprepared guitar and Griffin on drum kit + implements. Improvisations will be guided by phrases pulled from a hat, phrases that were written before the set but not shared. This first set will be the beginning of a new recording project and possibly other performances.

tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE: “Guitarists Anonymous Withdrawal Aids”
This triple-projection (video, slides, filmstrip) w/ live soundtrack addresses the serious problem of guitar addiction. Have you ever noticed that for everyone you know who plays, for example, nondo, there’re probably at least a million who play guitar? The reason for this is simple: nondo is a benign instrument, the guitar is highly addictive. Given that the other acts on this program are all guitar acts, tENT feels that it’s his civic duty to present this workshop in an effort to help these poor suffering souls break their insufferable habit.
