[NYC-L] thur aug 22nd 11pm

[Jeton Ademaj]

hey all

pardon the spam, here's the latest public outcry from SMILE, my band with
Daniel Carter, Mike Pride and Jean DeBasse Cour (aka etc.)

SMILE
Thursday, August 22nd at 11pm
Knitting Factory Soundstage
74 Leonard Street, NYC
212 219 3006
www.knittingfactory.com
$7

here's the knit blurb:

"Once upon a midnight dreary, I spied The Mineshaft's window clearly,
Coltrane and Sabbath, battle-weary, groped Chuck D, then all were cheery."

SMILE is

Jeton Ademaj : voice, guitar, qifteli, etc.
Daniel Carter : wind intruments
Jean DeBasse Cour : electronics, bass
Mike Pride : drums, reeds, voice

the name SMILE is a rip-off ("homage") of Timothy Leary's cybernetic acronym
(with the i sporting a superscript of 2, as in "I squared":

*S*pace *M*igration *I*ntelligence *Increase* *L*ife *E*xtension

...which I find an awesomely useful mnemonic algorithm for decoding the
better chunk of politics, religion and art (cap 'em all if u like), although
i move the superscript over to the "L", as in:

*S*pace *M*igration *I*ntelligence *L*ife *L*ove *E*xhaltation

...bcuz "intelligence...increase" was redundant, LOVE was missing and
Exhaltation is SO much more totalistic than "Extension".

So there u have it, a useful motto. may it be fruitful and multiply across
the minds and hearts of people everywhere, an Ur-meme...

anyway, we offer intense free improv, metallic disco, a coupla songs and
some poesy. Last time around Daniel got on vocals and smoked !
(creatively... and i, pot-headedly ;).

So come on out Thursday nite and get yer groove on freaky-stylee.
A good time will be had, with sweet weirdness n some shade thrown in.

peace
JA
