Bill's shows for January and February

JANUARY 2006

Sunday January 22
31 KNOTS
BILL HORIST
DER TRASCH
Art damage, curtailed attention spans, instrument
fetish and gutter-synth punk cast relentless showers
in Rain City! Portland's 31 Knots (Polyvinyl) bring
it on with their brand of damaged rock abstractions.
Bill Horist gets it on with his axe for his first solo
exhibition of 2006. Opening the show is Der Trasch,
local youngsters taking synth rock out of, and
conversely, back into the dirty streets of the new
world.

GHIDRA
GIRTH
Never has the seventh letter of our alphabet resonated
with a tenor so foul!! This is a diad of triumverates
not to miss people! Ghidra, the brainlesschild of
Wally Shoup(sax), Bill Horist(guitar) and Mike
Peterson(drums) stirs from a long slumber and they
hunger... The ante is clearly upped by openers
Girth, who's unique distillate of metal, math and
mayhem burns clean and pure. Hippies and scenesters
be vanquished and together these G's will rule the
Blue Moon (for one night only).
