Man vs. Machine // Zilla vs. a DJ March 24, 2006

from the Upstream Entertainment email:

"In March (March 24th/25) we are very excited to announce a concept show that we have been working on for some time. The concept is MAN vs MACHINE and we want to invite you all to spread the word. The idea is to have a top-notch DJ and Band play alternating sets DJ>BAND>DJ>BAND throughout the evening in a dance till you drop marathon of sound. See below for details.....We have the band confirmed, we are just waiting on confirmation from the DJ and we'll get that info to ya as soon as it's available."

"Zilla is a quartet from Boulder, CO that is remarkable for it's ability to create spontaneous compositions, especially considering that they are 100% improvisation. You see, these guys are the best of friends and they all believe in the group mind. For them, a good show is all about listening to each other so well that each individual musician's voice melts into the collective whole. At a Zilla show, the musicians are all so on the same page that the sky cracks open and the music plays the band!
Zilla's musical conversations are a discourse of patterns, melodies, pumping bass and get up and shout beats. Tribal thunderstorms of percussion run down the spine of a lush, melodic and nasty matrix of sound... How many all-improvisational live-electronica hammered dulcimer trance bands have you heard?"
