Cock-Now Zine

http://cocknowzine.blogspot.com/

A better description from Merc: The Post Pacino Spectacular is a festival that will take place on Saturday, June 24th, Saturday, July29, Saturday, August 26, and Saturday, Sept 30. Its all about sounds and visions that don't have a comfortable place within the realm of normality. Post Pacino is not genre specific nor medium specific. Post Pacino is about a coming together of like minded people doing unlikely things. Post Pacino wants to hear from you if you are an artist of any sort - who finds yourself doing something that most people would consider alienating. We're looking for ARTISTS: PAINTERS, DANCERS, BANDS, MUSICIANS, WRITERS, VIDEO ARTISTS and anybody else who is making something that we've never seen, heard or touched before. We're not looking for a common thread - other than an uncommon nature.
___________________________________________________________

Post-Pacino Spectacular, a new night put together by Merc (of Ifwhen) and Ben (of So L’il) will be the latest Goodbye Better production, and we are more than honored and thrilled to be hosting it at our favorite venue in NYC for half a decade now, Pete’s Candy Store, the last Saturday of each month starting in June.

A circus of sorts based around diversity and fostering communication between different communities, including musicians and bands of multiple genres, painters, poets, theater, dancers, and mostly mad fun, the first Post-Pacino Spectacular will take place Saturday, June 24th. Musicians performing will include:

Reflectiostack

So L'il

I Feel Tractor

Ifwhen

Seaman & Queerfunkel

Sleeping Kings of Iona

Katherine Betty Jones will be displaying her paintings.

And the poets Dustin Williamson and Frank Sherlock will be reading.

Additionally, limited edition Goodbye Better compilations and zines will be released in accordance with each performance.

Pete’s Candy Store is located at 709 Lorimer St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
For more info on them please visit: http://www.petescandystore.com

Post-Pacino Spectaculars will be events, happenings, celebrations.
We more than hope to see you there*. Gratzi mucho.
Love,
Goodbye Better

ps: the dates on the subsequent Post-Pacino Spectaculars will be Saturday, July 29, Saturday, August 26, and Saturday, September 23. Gratzi!

The following Music Interviews, Features, and Essays from Goodbye Better's Cock-Now Zine are now posted at:

Here's some more info:

The Matt Valentine + Erika Elder Medicine Show: Twice Aquarian Matt mv Valentine is a guitarist, writer, and blue-collar hollerer as well as being the founder/director/flint of The Tower Recordings. Very active in the subterranean community throughout the northeast United States, he is heavily involved in a personal musical fabric that ties free blues/free jazz, minimalism, psychedelic folk/rock, and the avant garde, into a unique and highly individual creation that is instantly recognized as his own music. Usually accompanying him is artist, poet, filmmaker, and multi-instrumentalist Erika Elder, forming The MV/EE Medicine Show. Together they established their grassroots label Child of Microtones dedicated to archiving contemporary ragas, country blues, and free-thinking happenings that the two have long been associated with, presenting them to the public in small handmade pressings of the highest quality form.

Samara Lubelski: Samara is a native New Yorker who grew up in the haze of artist infestation of Soho. She has been involved with various projects ever since she was allowed to cross the street on her own for an egg cream and spilled it on John Cage. Through the time of playing in various groups she has compiled an impressive resume that covers myriad of genres such as her work with the avant/psych/folk outfit of Hall Of Fame into the lair of those bohemian German musos Metabolismus and onto the indie rock interpretations of The Sonora Pine with some serious treks into the world of The Tower Recordings and off world with Jackie O Motherfucker, to name just a few.

Thank you!*~

(ps: thanks to everyone who made it out to scenic last wednesday and the wonderful loveless music group for putting it all together: the show was a blast and we absolutely loved every band who played, cheers!*~)
