My trip to the Circus, or trippin' on the circus...

The Work Station

There is a great thing in Joshua Tree, it is the Zircon & Wish Circus! I was honored to be part of the Ted Quinn Ensemble that closed the show on 12-26-16. Other performers in the Quinn ensemble were, Jeff Boaz, Leslie Mariah Andrews, Kip Powell, Lisa Mednick Powell and Sage Quinn-Blair.
We performed three of Ted's songs and Little Drummer Boy featuring Sage on drums.

The hosts of the event were the Aerial performing artists  Jim Zircon Oliver and Wish PoolOxte. They ended the second set of aerial performances with an amazing duet!  

Aydra and Emvy Performed as BELLSTARR. Aydra singing while spinning in the air hanging from a hula-hoop shaped trapeze.

BELLSTARR, Dishing up healthy servings of Electro-pop. Literally, raising the bar for vocal performance.

On to the Circus!

I can barely contain the excitement I have for this gig! In the world of "life-events" playing at the circus looms large in my mind! I have the honor of performing with Ted Quinn on the day after Christmas (12-26-16).

If you need an excuse for a desert holiday to Joshua Tree on the day after Christmas, this may be all the push you need. Those awkward days between Xmas and New Years Eve.....what to do....what to do?

Come to Joshua Tree! The Circus, The Park, The Desert. More fun than loitering around the house watching TV! Come on down!

The thing I love about the Santa Ana Noise Fest are the surprises!

 The thing I love about the Santa Ana Noise Fest are the surprises!

Travis brought a siren that started its life on a police motorcycle and traveled through the band LOCUST and ended up with X-Eyes. The original plan was for the motor cycle cop to tilt the siren to rub on the tire of the motor cycle to cause it to operate.....Low Tech Style....

The festival was amazing this year. A great crowd and great performers! I was a fine and noisy time for all.

A big thanks to Astral Violet and Monks for the video. The little TVs across the front of the stage were cute!

NFXX recap, Western Theme and unreleased Video...

Phog masheeen debuted a western theme at Norcal Noisefest this year and we produced a video to go with the track, "My Horse Kalenchoe." Originally this video was only available on the pirate box private server at the festival. But now you can see it here! More western theme to come...

Norcal Noisefest is always an amazing event and a wonderful fall destination and meeting of the tribes. It is a great way to see what new things people are up to. One stand out set for me was Medicine Cabinet. The way the real instrument sounds were used to make the harsh noise harsher. It was an excellent set!

The sets will be on Bandcamp eventually and you will see a link to it here when it does.
