Minimum Donation by BRIAN! (Quartet)

On August 11th, 2019 at The Haunt in Ithaca NY, powerdove (with Sarah Hennies), Dumb Waiter, BRIAN!, Space F and Chris Knight gathered together to celebrate Bubba's birthday and raise funds for local not-for-profit, Ithaca Underground. Amidst mending bones and mudslides, an evening of wonderful and unique performances transpired.

With drummer, Willie B. overseas, Emily Jackson (Ithaca New Music Collective) and Alejandra Marie Diemecke (La Llorona, The Ilium Works) graciously brought their talents to BRIAN! for the festivities. Armed with vibraphone, rototoms, goat hooves, violin, voice and more, this one-time-only quartet performance brought the band into new sonic landscapes, with an adaptation of Into Dust and the improvised Marimshot Cavalcade, exclusive to this release.

Thanks to The Haunt staff, Ithaca Underground volunteers, and all the performers for a successful evening.

Ithaca, NY experimental trio BRIAN! present their electrifying fifth studio album The Cataclysmic Engine. Amplified bassoon and metallic guitar trade whole-tone riffs over propelling percussion through nine angular and heavy compositions.
