Works/San José News

Haptic Synapses was in the gallery for a performance last week, check it out:

Tomorrow night (wednesday, may 27th, 2009) at 8pm. silicon valley’s own Haptic Synapses will be playing a sneak peek show in advance of their performance during the SubZERO street fair.  If you’re in the area and like beat-driven high tech soul, stop on by.  Haptic Synapses is a rotating participation electronic music group.  Their show is an improvised jam consisting of conventional and self-made electronic music equipment and software.  Chairs are available, but you may want to grab a spot by the speaker and dance your face off. More information is available at http://3rl.us/subzero/

We have another live music night in the gallery coming up, the saturday after thanksgiving. That should be plenty enough time to recover from your food coma, so come out and listen to these fine musical acts:

• twain harte
• of the sun
• the violet club
• benjamin brackett

Showtime starts at around 7pm. That’s about it! Should be fun, come on out and hear some live music. All ages, free, $5 donation requested.
