Stereo Mandrax (FREE w/ RSVP): Peter Stampfel's Atomic Meta-Pagans • Spectre Folk • Joshua Burkett — live event
Peter Stampfel's Atomic Meta-Pagans The Atomic Meta-Pagans are an eight piece musical collective which evolved from Peter Stampfel's aughties band, the Ether Frolic Mob. Simply put, they play paleo hillbilly swamp rock informed by the great American songbook, shoving their group hand up the ass of American music, grabbing it by the neck, and pulling it inside out. You'll love it. Spectre Folk Pete Nolan was Spectre Folk before drumming and strumming in Magik Markers was his main gig, and will be Spectre Folk long after he shuffles off this mortal coil. The main benefit of ghost-folk is: you can play it way after you’re dead, and while you’re alive the Spectre can haunt any decent willing body with a gift for the unreal. This time around, his daughter little Violet Ray will be joining him for some folkier versions of Pete’s tunes. The music they make takes a leisurely pace, like opening the cabin for the first time in the season, introducing all the ambient nature world funk that seeped through into the nose and lungs. They deal in righteous, stank Lazy Horse/CCCR type jammers and a general sense of “folk vacation,” the beer’s gone, what a time we had so let’s roll another number for the road. Fearless as a lemming, Nolan creates a private universe, a Society of the Spectre-cal, if you will, and his gift is his freedom. Let’s have a drift. Joshua Burkett Joshua Burkett is one of the rock’s of the New England rock underground. He got his start in the Bimbo Shrineheads playing bass and saxophone. Burkett later played sax and served as cover artist for Vermonster...

Six(and others). & Spirit of Orr Records reissued 'OwleavesRustling', Burkett’s 1995 solo debut, along with testimonies from Thurston Moore, Chris Corsano and Wolf Eyes’ John Olson. – Dusted Magazine
