From the Bohemian National Home:

Thursday, 9/25: Worms in Dirt, Traum
Brooklyn’s Worms in Dirt is a guitar and violin duo that plays acoustic improvised music drawing from mostly non-traditional/extended technique vocabulary. The band seems to have infiltrated a few different scenes with its sound; cited are recent gigs with Little Women, Peter Evans 4tet, People, Aids Wolf, and Old Time Relijun. There’s more at: myspace.com/wormsindirt.

Traum is comprised of Chris Riggs on guitar and Ben Hall on drums and percussion. Although I haven’t Traum specifically yet, these Detroit musicians have performed at The Bohemian and share an affinity with Worms in Dirt for searching for suprises in sound production and an avoidance of clearly idiomatic playing.
Doors at 8 pm; $5 minimum.

Friday, 9/26 Cooper Moore

http://hopscotchrecords.com/cooper.html

One of the first New Music shows at the Bohemian was the duo of Cooper Moore and Assif Tsahar. Legendary musician/improviser/inventor Cooper Moore is best known as a pianist and percussionist who’s played with William Parker, Joseph Jarmin, David S. Ware, Susie Ibarra, Butch Morris and Perry Robinson. He’s also well known for his intriguing home-made instruments; this current tour will be his first as a soloist performing only on instruments of his own design. Not only an amazing improviser and inventor, Cooper Moore is great at getting the audience up and involved. Sure to be one of this year’s highlights. Doors at 8pm, $8-20.

10/8 Baby Dee
Cleveland native Baby Dee is a transgender harpist/acordianist/pianist who has prodigious skills on all three instruments. Classically trained, she has been a music director and organist in a Bronx Catholic church, a circus side show act at Coney Island and eventually a member of the Bindlestiff Family Circus.

When Baby Dee returned to Cleveland, she began performing music of her own composition, mixed with and inspired by tin palley and show tunes that she performs with particular zest. The tremendous musicality of Baby Dee makes this much more than a quirky novelty act- there’s just a lot of eccentricity that goes with all that talent.
Doors at 8 pm; $5-10.
