This is Jacob Felix Heule from Ettrick, Gowns, etc. My electro-acoustic improv duo, Basshaters, is touring this spring with some great musicians from Norway. We'd love to play Boise on Wednesday 6/3. Suggestions?

Basshaters (San Francisco)

Drum and double bass duo bridging the gap between acoustic free improv and electronic noise. Fascinated by the physicality of their instruments, Basshaters enjoys working with a multitude of sounds and techniques exploiting the vast possibilities available for activating large resonant bodies. The duo seeks directness and intensity in execution. Subtleties emerge from the bold statement of simple ideas.

Basshaters toured Europe in September 2008 as a duo and with various international collaborators. They will tour the western US in May 2009 with Peninsula Project, and are working on a new full-length studio album.

In addition to Basshaters, Dryer & Heule have a trio with clarinetist Jacob Lindsay, which just released its debut album on Lisbon's Creative Sources. This unconventional rhythm section also has a trio CD with saxophonist Jack Wright forthcoming on Calgary's Bug Incision Records. Heule is also active with his brutal improv duo, Ettrick, and has toured the US and Europe with Gowns. Tony Dryer has toured extensively with rock groups including the Flying Luttenbachers and Usurp Synapse. Both are current members of Caroliner.

Peninsula Project (Oslo)

Tuba/guitar/bass trio something between a marching band, a rock band, and a harsh noise band.

Peninsula Project is a hard-working Norwegian trio, active in the Oslo improv scene with many different projects. They are also busy with their rock band MOE, who will release their first 7" single in February 2009.

With a feedback tuba screaming in the highest frequencies, guitar blasting on pitches out of control, bass sneering like a mean dog and voice taken from a Hitchcock movie, it's just another feedback marching band.

Håvard Skaset: guitar
Børre Mølstad: tuba
Guro Skumsnes Moe: bass and voice
