KVRX Summer Special at U.S. Art Authority on Saturday

After some hullabaloo last summer regarding permits, noise, and all sort of innuendo, the U.S. Art Authority at 29th and Fruth closed its doors—only to later reopen and continue showcasing art and live music. Huh. Who'da thunk it?

While the locale has kept a somewhat lower profile in the intervening months, the KVRX Summer Special this Saturday night will no doubt turn out a crowd. The student radio station has wisely put together a fine bill of performers who represent some of this city's most talented up and comers in regard to unconventional pop.

Notable experimental project Mothfight will perform, apparently after having shed the exclamation! points! from their name. Wild, continuous, and fragmented but stunning live sets are what we've come to expect from this band, who continue to impress us with tracks from what we can only hope is a forthcoming debut album (to be out sometime this century?). The fine, synth-laded Sour Notes will also perform, and are currently supporting a new 7" single out this month entitled "Never Mix, Never Worry." In January, the band is going out on their "It's Not Gonna Be Pretty Tour" across parts of the States.

The notoriously prolific School Police also share the bill. This group, which includes members of about nineteen other projects (including Belaire, Way No Way, etc. etc.) are also the proud parents of a new EP, Circles.

And because no live music event is complete without someone DJing(?), DJ Dan Gentile will also be playing tunes.
