Angeliska + Arpadelamar   Angeliska Polacheck
I play ocean-harp (also known as sea-harp, or waterphone). This mysterious instrument is a peculiar combination of whale and tea-pot. It looks like it was invented by mermaids - in fact, it was invented to serenade cetaceans. It has been used in many wonderful horror movie soundtracks.

ArcAttack!   ArcAttack
ArcAttack employs a unique DJ set up of their own creation (an HVDJ set up) to generate an 'electrifying' audio visual performance. The HVDJ pumps music through a PA system while two specially designed DRSSTC's (Dual-Resonant Solid State Tesla Coils) act as separate synchronized instruments. These high tech machines produce an electrical arc similar to a continuous lightning bolt and put out a crisply distorted square wave sound reminiscent of the early days of synthesizers. The music consists of original, highly dance-able electronic compositions that sometimes incorporate themes or dub of popular songs.

BLUESQUEEZEBOX   BLUESQUEEZEBOX
"BLUESQUEEZEBOX... plays an eclectic mix of material from some of the greatest songwriters in history...

Boiler Bar Theater   Jon Sarriugarte and Kyrsten Mate
In the grand tradition of traveling sideshows, The Boiler Bar Theater comes to Austin. The bar and stage showcase not only Jon Sarriugarte's fine metalwork, attention to detail, and experience with fire accoutrements; they also provide a setting for several talented performers headed by Kyrsten Mate. The Theater evokes an earlier time in America, when acts were born in the backyard, and costumes were made out of whatever was at hand with a whimsical vision. The Bar is a fantasy of metal, rivets, and fire.

Furby Youth Choir   Thomas Fang
Furby Youth Choir is a small army of modified Furbys which together produce a surreal and stochastic cacophony of tones, buzzes, squeals, and glitched-out demented laughter. Newly installed switches and potentiometers offer some degree of control, but the aleatoric sounds emerging from the bent circuits frequently surprise even the conductor of this robotic choir.

Mucca Pazza   Mucca Pazza
Mucca Pazza is the marching band that thinks it's a rock 'n roll band. The group is a collection of shameless band nerds wielding instruments of incongruous traditions, sometimes in competition, oftentimes in cooperation. Many of them played in traditional marching bands in high school. Others wanted to but couldn't because they played violin or accordion, and no one had yet come up with the amplified helmet. With speakers strapped firmly to heads, their rambunctious live show has brought them to such acclaimed venues as the Late Show with Conan O'Brien, Lollapalooza, and some canoes floating down the Chicago River.
