Boston:

Machine-rock pioneers Chemlab will be performing live for the first time in seven years at the Middle East Club in Cambridge MA, August 10th. This is an experimental one-off performance and will feature an all new line-up, new takes on Chemlab classics, and tracks never performed live.

Detroit:

There will be a costume workshop tonight in preparation for this weekend's Neo-Dadaists Society Corquet Social. The Croquet Social is the second installment in our Propper Things in Impropper Places art crime series.



In basic terms, a group of gentlemen and ladies are going to play croquet and sip mint juleps in Edwardian period costume at the crack of dawn in an abandoned building, and photograph the hell out of it for an upcoming gallery exhibition. This is expected to be considerably more elaborate, ridiculous and well documented than the Mad Tea Party at Fisher 21.

See the Neo-Dadaists Society MySpace group for details.
