"Fried is a brilliant improvisor"! -- Peter Mathews, Feast of Music

Read Feast of Music

Not sure who the author is (that's good, right?) but it's a nice mention. Meanwhile, I hope to see people Tuesday at the Toxic Pop bash, and beyond. See the Upcoming section, left.

Last month's SPARK Festival of Electronic Music and Art was complete fun and made me feel like a star! Folks were shouting and shimmying like they don't often do in tough, black-clad NYC. These photos are by Shari Hagen, whose very presentable photographer's web site is HERE. Stay tuned for VIDEO!

A trio! ...

with Hans Tammen, on Endangered Guitar
Tom Shad, on Electric Bass with digital whammy
and yours truly RADIO WONDERLAND, on Radio Wonderland

===MIDNIGHT SET===

Here's the hype folks, courtesy of Rebus PR:

The newest entry into the technologically-enhanced extended improv sweepstakes is the trio of virtuosic veterans Hans Tammen--"endangered guitar", Tom Shad--Blue Man bassist, and Joshua Fried--AKA "Radio Wonderland" on his shoes, steering wheel and laptop. What sets these guys apart is the engagement of the body as well as the ear and the mind (read: they know how to groove). Expect the most current sonic DSP (that's digital signal processing in case you missed it), as well as muscular jams that fly Jimi and Miles into the heart of NYC's vortex of alt-jazz techno jams.

The dizziest, maybe the messiest (messy can be good!), definitely the series most likely to make you doubt your senses. Anything can happen, including dancing on stage, more than one Radio Wonderland set, and spontaneous jams with Tom Swirly on his clarinet-like MIDI wind controller.

As Tom Swirly puts it:

"More crazy, more lights, more strange, always, this and every Monday at Cave
Canem in the East Village.

A monstrously strange avant-garde musical/talk show with variety acts, magic
tricks, weirdness, sensation and live electronic music. "
