23:00 SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM
Še posebej opozarjamo na bližajoče se soočenje z devetim čudom glasbenega sveta, s spektakularno artrockovsko zasedbo Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (SGM) iz daljnega San Francisca. “Frisco” je bil vselej žarišče psihedeličnosti, ekstravagance in drugačnosti, kar se zelo lakonično odraža tudi pri SGM. Skupino lahko na nek način razumemo kot duhovne naslednike starih dobrih (in predvsem ubrisanih) Mr. Bungle, saj se ravno tako poslužujejo nenavadnih zvočnih posegov in jih je praktično nemogoče žanrsko postrojiti. V svojem vrtoglavem početju namreč veselo prekucujejo prvine kabareta, teatraličnosti, orkestralne in industrijske glasbe, dadaizma, jazza, absurda, rock’n’rolla, težkega metala itn. Ogrodje benda SGM so leta 1999 oblikovali basist Dan Rathbun, kitarist Nils Frykdahl ter violinistka Carla Kihlstedt, ki je v istem obdobju štartala z jazzerskim Tin Hat Triom (s katerim je že nastopila v Cankarjevem domu) in se kasneje pojavila ob boku Johna Zorna, Dona Byrona, Freda Fritha ter Toma Waitsa. Sicer pa kar za celotno posadko SGM velja, da premorejo zajetno glasbeno omiko ali pa vsaj zavidljive virtuozne sposobnosti, saj niso kos le najbolj neverjetnim muzikalnim idejam, ampak v glavnem tudi sami izdelajo večino svojih (nekonvencionalnih) inštrumentov. Glasba, v kateri je vse polno čudaških zvokov in prebliskov, ima precej zapleteno, kompleksno sestavo, vendar pa nikakor ne deluje odbijajoče. Svojeglavo komponiranje benda SGM sega od provokativnih recitacij in bizarnih uspavank do furioznega prog-metala ter strupenih balad, najpogosteje pa ga vzporejajo s partiturami Primusov, Franka Zappe, Devina Townsenda, Mr. Bungle, The Residents ali Meshuggah. Kljub navedenemu SGM niso zgolj še ena glasbena deviacija, če ste morda to pomislili, temveč so zlasti prvovrstni zabavljači, ki jih čislajo zaradi atraktivnih, pretresljivih in vznemirljivih nastopov – pravih pravcatih kostumiranih performansov.

COMA STEREO
Coma Stereo so mlada mariborska skupina, ki je nastala v letu 2003. Kvartet elektronsko obarvanega rocka se navdihuje pri znanstvenofantastičnih filmih iz sedemdesetih let, At The Drive-In, Sonic Youth in Tangerine Dream, za seboj imajo že kar lepo bero koncertov (igrali so denimo pred The Silver Mt. Zion Orchestra in Damom Suzukijem), konec prejšnjega leta so obredli tudi dobršen del Evrope. Prvenec so snemali v Zagrebu, singl I Can Programme Myself Whenever I Want To pa je izšel pri italijanski hiši Marsiglia Records.

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are an American avant-rock band, formed in 1999 in Oakland, California.
Their live performances have featured puppet shows, pseudo-scientific scholarly presentations, and performances by members of the Butoh group inkBoat.
The band uses many homemade devices as instruments, such as the Viking Rowboat.[1] Dan Rathbun – who has created the lion’s share of the band’s idiosyncratic instruments – plays, among other self-made instruments (though he uses a common bass guitar most of the time), a custom stringed bass instrument referred to as Piano Log, which uses piano strings and is possibly more than 7 feet long; it is played with two sticks: one in the left hand generally used as a fret, and another in the right hand to strike the strings. Percussionist Michael Mellender’s instruments consist of restaurant kitchen equipment, trash can lids, and other “found” metal objects, in addition to traditional percussion instruments. One of the more infamous instruments used by the band was Moe! Staiano’s Popping Turtle (now residing in Brooklyn, NY[2]). It can be heard in the song “Sleep is Wrong”, about 1:21 into the song.
SGM’s music can be roughly likened as something akin to avant-rock or avant-prog, but it practically escapes any rigorous categorization so that people usually have to name-drop different kinds of bands in order to give some sort of scope or conception of what they sound like. Some names that have come up in reviewers’ texts include Mr. Bungle, Thinking Plague, Univers Zero, White Zombie, ÄnglagÃ¥rd, King Crimson, Gwar, and so on;[3] while not excessively naming bands in his review of SGM’s second album Of Natural History, David Moore of Pitchfork Media thinks, in the same swoop, that SGM’s debut album Grand Opening and Closing was an amalgam of Meshuggah and Secret Chiefs 3, resulting in “some truly cracked prog-metal anthems.”[4]
As of January 2006, the band has signed to The End Records and plans to release a new album entitled “In Glorious Times” in March 2007.[1] A reissue of the first album, Grand Opening and Closing, with three previously unreleased tracks, was released on September 5, 2006.[5]
The band has confirmed through their official MySpace site that they will tour North America and Europe in March and April in support of their forthcoming album (of which there is no official information out yet).
