TONIGHT! Monday Sept 19 2011
Backspace, Portland, OR
8pm-10pm
Battery Powered Baby Shower / Fundraiser
Daddy Longlegs
Black With Ants
BPM Ensemble
2 of the core members of the BPM Ensemble including one of Battery Powered Music's founders are having a baby! Due any day now really. While Summer has had the chance to be showered with love and gifts for the little one with not 1 but 2 babay showers, Elias has gotten no action. Fortunately every other Monday he meets up with a crew of folks and has a grand old time at Backspace. Backspace is an excellent place to have an open mixer and a great place for people of all ages to gather. This got Elias thinking, "What if I through a battery powered baby shower there?" This seemed like a good idea and soon he found himself typing the very words you are reading.
Here is the plan. Tamarack music has recently released, on limited edition cassette tape and digital download, RECHARGEABLE Vol. 2. This release is the best live sets from a year of music making with a fabulous group of players that comprise the BPM Ensemble. So...Elias will be bringing about 50 of these cassettes to Battery Powered Music next Monday, to give to you as a gift for any donation of $6 or MORE. If enough money is raised, these donations will allow Elias to be with his new family for the first month of baby Arthur's time with us all on the outside.
As always this night will have an open mixer, an opportunity to get your battery powered music nerd on and catch the fever of affordable powerful music production. In addition Battery Powered Music will be introducing a new format breaking the night up into 20-30 minute sessions of solo or smaller ensemble showcases.
