Check out the Creative Alliance this saturday a band I love is playing for free! they're Baltimore based called Future Islands: http://www.creativealliance.org/events/eventItem2446.html

also, Valeska and Ryan Patterson are working on the Transmodern Festival this year, which will be open at the H&H building and the Current Gallery on Howard and Franklin the last Friday and Satuday of April, 7-11pm. I went last year and it was unreal. All four floors of the H&H building had installations of art, live music and costume. This year, there's going to be a conceptual camp ground and they're looking for artists to participate! My brother is going to submit his birdhouses, check them out: http://cbirdhouses.blogspot.com/2009/03/churchills-birdhouses.html

Heres a description of the festival that Ryan sent me:

"Transmodern is a festival of provocative works by cultural experimenters from Baltimore and

the World. The artists of the 7th Annual Transmodern Festival defy traditional genres

and embrace radical innovation through transmedia, clashes of organic vs. artificial

intelligence, psychogeography, dislocation of consensus reality, real politic and collective

cultural action.

The organizers promote / celebrate the diversity of experimental culture by highly

representing artists from the following groups: women, ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians,

the radical subculture." …more at www.transmodernfestival.org

I can't wait!
