by Banjo, King Of The Sea Monkeys, 11 Nov 12:22

15 Nov Tuesday: Madison, WI Cristal w/ Patrick Best of Pelt and To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie at the Corral Room (in the basement of Tornado Steak House) 10PM 116 South Hamilton St. Madison WI 256-3570

Cristal- Cristal came together in a Richmond, Virginia kitchen over a batch of sangria in 2001. The band members, Jimmy Anthony, Bobby Donne (who is also a member of Labradford), and Greg Darden.

The threesome create tracks that mix drone-landscaping with surgical penis methods in a way that is sure to make you salute. By turns lilting, dark and noisesome, this music feels like a sharp fingernail circling your navel slowly inside a tightly shuttered room. Just be careful you don?t have anything in the way when they decide to slam the door shut. It might hurt. - Byron Coley, the Wire

To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie- A surprisingly delicate track of shifting tones and environmental sounds, the songs tempo and thematic movement are both incredibly deliberate, and its most rewarding aspects are found in its complex and beautiful textures. http://tokillapettybourgeoisie.us/media.htm
