More about the artists:

Hex Breaker Quintet


An unholy communion of electricity and air, Hex Breaker Quintet merges the considerable talents of Telecult Powers and Grasshopper; two of the most original and exciting sound projects that have radiated from King's County in some time. Homemade synths, electrically tortured brass and third eye hallucinations combine and dance along the dark horizon.

Expo 70


Expo '70 is the main driving improvisational essence of Justin Wright. Having started the project in Los Angeles in 2003, Wright has pushed his project to new levels, releasing a number of albums as cdr's and 2 full-length albums. Expo '70's first album "Animism", which debuted in 2007 on Kill Shaman, is an eclectic mix of krautrock, ambient drone, space exploration and minimal compositions. Comparisons range from Brian Eno, Ash Ra Tempel, A.R. & Machines, SunnO))) and Earth, but not directly sounding like any of those artists in their entirety.

Dead Line Connector


DLC is the power electronics project of Abandon Ship Records' founder Nate Rulli. Paying tribute to the mid 90's heyday of Japanese artists such as MSBR and CCCC while pushing the sound forward in new directions.

Mapping the grid

Sorry for the lack of jams and updates, I hope to be getting back into a regular schedule soon. In the meantime I've created a Facebook group for the Avant Ghetto shows. So, if you live in the NYC area and stare at pictures of girls from high school all day long on FB, you might as well join.

Also, I'm starting an email list. To subscribe, drop an email with "Vampire Weekend is for pussies" in the subject to avantghettopresentsATgmail.com

To bring the corporate brainwashing full circle, I'm on twitter now. I plan on keeping rigorous notes of shows, celebrity sightings and bowel movements.

Buy some shit

It pains me to have to sell some stuff but I like to eat. Just listed a bunch of shit on Discogs. Check it out here.

Lussuria (NY)
http://www.lussuria.cjb.net/

Lussuria performs Ambient Noise nostalgic for the early days of the
genre. Citing pioneers as Halfler Trio, Mlehst, Maeror Tri, and NON,
the music of Lussuria fluxuates between collaged soundscapes, hypnotic drones, and noise rumbling. Formed in 2006, Lussuria have released material through such labels as Hospital Productions, Amortout, Destructive Industries, and Razors and Medicine. In addition, have performed stateside and abroad. Currently the project have completed work on a full length due out on
Hospital Productions later this year.

Geoff Mullen (RI)
http://www.rareyouth.org/

I first became aware of Mullen's guitar excursions through his
additions to the excellent Invisible Pyramid box set put out a few
years ago by Providence based Last Visible Dog records. In addition to introducing me to the beautiful writing of Loren Eisley, that
expansive 6 CD document has yielded countless hours of aural bliss
with Mullen's contributions being my personal favorites. On that set,
Mullen transcended mere Takoma worship with his use of subtle white noise that only enhanced his beautiful acoustic guitar playing. Having followed Mullen's career since then it is evident the man is a
restless creative spirit and one of a handful of guitarists who can
still keep things interesting. - Jeff Conklin (Avant Ghetto)
