Musical trio Rats features Kelly Kawar (bass), Eric Kiersnowski (baritone guitar), and Jonathan Silberman (tenor saxophone). Rats writes and performs intimate pieces drawing upon diverse influences such as Curly Howard, candy, and sexually suggestive facsimiles. Eric and Jonathan, formerly of Godzik Pink (1996-2002, 5RC Records) and Kelly, formerly of The Foxations and “Kawar Island,” started playing together as Rats in 2007. They will be releasing their first album in September 2010.

Lady Noise, founded by artist Gabie Strong, is the free-form sound collaboration between Kelly Coats (flute), Ari DeSano (accordion), Kathleen Kim (violin), Gabie Strong (bass) and Sandy Yang (guitar and drums). Disrupting conventional spatial formations of live sound performance, the group freely shapes the area reserved for hearing and language to present the listening audience with the aching beauty of amplified harmonic decay.
