Saturday June 7 @ 9:00 PMThe Late CircuitFor the past two weeks, The Late Circuit has been recording a sampling of Fringe shows. Come hear him delicately mix these pre-recorded sound clips, bites, and music into a hot bed of sound. Can you spot that song? That lyric? That piece of text? What Fringe show was that in?!?! Mixing humility and the macabre, the Late Circuit draws from love lost, bottomless bottles of Scotch and dusty crates of forgotten music to create a soundscape painted like only a vinyl junkie can. From the basement to the sidewalk, the Late Circuit delivers beats with afterthoughts. |

Michael McIntire and the Marmalade Brigade
The Marmalade Brigade is the brainchild of Michael McIntire, Cincinnati songwriter, who writes songs that range in diversity and style from Gypsy Jazz, Reggae, Funk, Blues, Middle Eastern, and R&B. Why does he refuse to stick to one style? To keep the audience on their toes and his songwriting interesting. (website)

Steven Rosen (Cell Phone Concert)
Turn your cell phones on! Steven Rosen, who once ran "Name That Tune" night at Arlin's Bar in Clifton and is a Cincinnati writer, will attempt the area's first "Cell Phone Concert" on Sunday June 1. Audience members are invited to bring cell phones, turn them on, provide performance moderators/callers with their numbers, and wait to hear their ringtones chime while a small combo plays music. The hope is that the tones will blend in and give definition to the music -- or not!
