OTL ARTIST -  IN -  RESIDENCE DIANA RICE PRESENTS:

"F A C E S  A N D  P L A C E S  A T  O U T S I D E  T H E  L I N E S"


"I have been collaborating with the studio at Outside the Lines to present
a super subjective portrait show that draws on conceptions of identity,
memories,
and emotional experience. The show includes highly expressionistic
self-portraits, icons, and human and animal allegories in
electrically charged landscapes.


Faces and Places' eclectic nature is a reflection of the
individuality of the artists
that I have been working with -
some of the most honest and fascinating people one could meet.

I've challenged them to try new ways of representing themselves,
their ideas, and their situations
using the right classical or
abstract devices to get their particular visions across to the viewer.

My work at Outside The Lines has been guided by the hope of giving
the artists there the tools
and freedom to be who they really are,
and I am grateful that I have had the opportunity

to get to know them through their art." - DIANA RICE

BLACK DICE
(so says Wikipedia): "Black Dice is a noise rock/experimental band based in Brooklyn, New York,
USA. They formed in spring, 1997 at the Rhode Island School of Design and are currently
signed to DFA Records. The group began as a harsh, noisy thrash outift, with a sound far
different from the more psychedelic leanings of the last few albums."

ALEC K. REDFEARN AND THE SEIZURES

http://www.myspace.com/aleckredfearnandtheseizures


EAT CLOUD

http://www.myspace.com/eatcloud

MANY MANSIONS

http://www.myspace.com/manymansions

When I say it's a Bodies of Water arts and crafts show I mean that it doesn't suck. I mean, in fact,
that it RULES.
Magic noise turned electro drone-psych dudes, Black Dice will be holding court in the
 glorious space that is the
Outside The Lines Studio on June 15th. This is just the right kind of space
to fully experience Black Dice's swirling
musical haze in.

Also on the bill will be Alec K. Redfearn and his latest band, The Seizures, up all the way from  
Providence.
They will be celebrating the release of their new record that is coming out on the
wonderful Providence label
Corleone Records. Eastern Europe meets Asian drones and a whole lot of
other things during the journey that is
one of their performances. Dare I say it they are the most
interesting band making any kind of pop music in New England.


The rest of the bill features some of the best and out electronic noiseniks that the Boston area has
to offer.
Eat Clouds brings some heady glitchy stuff, Many Mansions loves that droning psychpop,
Bone Rattle is
going to get things harsh for a minute like they used to do, and Double Awake will set
the table with a drone buffet,
the likes of which you have never heard before!!!!!!!!
All in all a swell night, and a continuation of a wonderful new partnership between
Outside The Lines & Bodies of Water.

T H E  G L A S S  S H I V E R S


 
Synth action, shortwave radio hints, shimmering melodic lines, resonant hums, glitches and drones.
The Glass Shivers appear to hail from Providence RI, yet don’t expect hyperactive or macho displays
of
instrumental prowess here. Instead what you get is a mysteriously intriguing journey into softly
induced psychosis and glassy-eyed dreamstates.

T H E  M A G I C  P E O P L E


Kapela Magic People z Massa- chusetts hraje poctivý alternativní rock, šmrnclý psychedelií a původní \
novou vlnou.
Není pochyb, že mají dobře naposlouchaného Captaina Beefhearta nebo Devo, místy ale
připomenou i The Fall,
Old Time Relijun nebo svoje kámoše The Creeping Nobodies. Jádro kapely tvoří
dvojice
John Manson (zpěv a basa) a Al Deaderick (klávesy a syntezátory),jediní, kdo jsou v kapele
od jejích začátků někdy před třemi lety.
Do Prahy Magic People přijedou jako kvartet.

Svoje živá vystoupení pojímají kreativně včetně kostýmů a jiných propriet. Bude to show.
