The last 2 fliers for the CWNM 2013 series.

Crow With No Mouth 2013 Needs Your Help.

Please consider going here so that I can continue making these fliers for the series. I am unsure of the specifics, but it seems that one of the grants that Jesse had been awarded to fund this year's concert series ended up disappearing. Without your support, CWNM will be unable to fund the rest of the shows.

"The synopsis: a couple were going to get together after the girlfriend had dropped off her package, but the boyfriend will have to keep waiting. The whole day turned out to be an attempt in crossing the distance between nothing and something. Everyone, it seems, was at the post office for philosophy instead of postage."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!

Alexandra Pharmakidis, of Power Monster/Sex Bruises/Mustard Tugboat/Mema/etc, will also be having a miniature one-night-only gallery showing. She'll be showing off excerpts from her collection of mail-art trades as well as her own work. These will be viewable in the living room of the house during both the film and the show. Please treat them with respect and care.

I Have Achieved KC "Metal Local" Status.

From The Pitch

"One spin through last year's double album The Clearing/The Final Epoch, by Chicago drone duo Locrian, puts you in a dark place. It's full of proper apocalyptic noise driven by doom and disaster — breathtaking black-metal-influenced tunes with the power to raise evil spirits and drop testicles. This bill, which also includes metal locals Boreas and Jason Zeh, is the first UFO Show, a new series at Davey's curated by local experimental music sage Pat Hopewell. "Booking shows that other venues are too chickenshit to attempt" is the promise that Hopewell shot us when he announced the series, and it looks like he's on his way to making good on it."
