"I am a native painter of Wisconsin. I'm fascinated with emotion, and my paintings aim to reflect a wide range of feelings surrounding loss, ambition, attempted projection and empathy. My paintings are impulsive and energetic, often expressing attributes of my own personality. Listed among my greatest influences are Gustav Klimpt, Amedeo MOD-GLAMigliani, Van Gogh, James Berens and Micheal Christal.

After attending MIAD, I've had the privilege of displaying my work in Washington D.C., Japan and in galleries throughout Wisconsin. I am currently a resident of Minneapolis and employed by Risdall Linnihan Advertising."

"trickle down wednesdays"

with DM juli maclean

"Trickle-Down Wednesdays" showcases "the other 97% of retro" dance music from the Carter-Reagan-Bush era. Join DM Juli in the pure indulgence of new romantic, new wave, synthesized, blue-eyed soul and underground cult delights from the era of Iran-Contra, supply-side economics, a thousand points of light and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Your tip to 80s fashion by coming to the weekly shindig dressed in the style of those dying Cold War days is highly encouraged. After all, it wouldn't feel right without the bangle earrings, the pink bowler hats, mohawks, skinny ties, checkerboard patterns and Miami Vice-aqua Converse high-tops.

“Bleckmann is a jazz vocalist with an amazing ear, a thorough knowledge of bebop scales, and absolutely no inhibitions, as likely to wail like a monkey off an augmented 11th chord." -the Village Voice, USA

“...It's sensitive, thinking music, continually changing shape and texture; Mr. Hollenbeck is an estimable jazz drummer whose goals clearly lie beyond jazz.” - Ben Ratliff, New York Times, USA

- adam brodsky (from philadelphia)

Rather than coming off as amateurish, Brodsky’s unpolished live playing betrays his punk-rock tendencies, whereas his Dylanesque, nasally vocals echo the traditional. Honesty is also a key ingredient to the Brodsky anti-folk stew.

MusicsceneNetwork.com presents:

metropolis featuring local DJs:

The event features two different rooms of unique sounds from 5 local DJs. At the tables in the front - Psy-trance/techno/electronic: 

Rahna and DJ Noise

Rahna - In addition to her regular gig at the Chatterbox on Thursday nights, she has taken the tables at: Saloon, 7th St Entry, CONvergence, Cat Club (San Francisco), Gay 90's, and several Array Productions. She spins a variety ranging from Psy-trance to Dark-wave, from techno to EBM. Rahna will make your head spin with her wide range and saucy mixing style.

DJ Noise - Is also a regular at the Chatterbox on Thursday nights, but that is not all he has done. He amazes you with the pretty lights as he takes you on musical adventures, from the thumping kind to the down right silly.

.. And in the back - from the Radio K show "The Descent" ECM and Harlequin, along with Recloned spinning industrial/EBM and other dark sounds of pleasure:

DJs ECM and Harlequin

Aside from their weekly radio show, The Descent (14:00 Saturdays on 770
Radio K), the Triad has appeared live at First Avenue, Ground Zero, and the
Saloon, among others. They remain one of the Twin Cities' few outlets for
dark electronic music, covering everything from industrialized power noise
to synthpop, and all points in between. 

Recloned

Recloned spins a mix of hard EBM /industrial, power electronics, and
danceable rhythmic noise. Past venues include 7th street entry, VIP lounge,
Metro, The Loring
Bar, Bon Appetit, and Rogue Buddha.
