Artists
King Missile (Dog Fly Religion)
King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) was formed about quarter century ago and brought the world (if college dorm rooms and radio can be considered the "world") Take Stuff From Work, Wuss, Muffy, Sensitive Artist, Mr. Johnson, and Hemophiliac of Love. After two critically acclaimed (meaning not-very-well-selling) CDs (Fluting on the Hump and They), Dogbowl left the band to pursue a solo career.
Dogbowl went on to make several critically acclaimed CDs, including Flan-Songs from the Novel, Project Success and Cyclops Nuclear Submarine Captain. He also wrote the critically acclaimed novel Flan, upon which the songs in Flan-Songs from the Novel are based. John, of course, went on to form the not-very-creatively-named King Missile and King Missile III, making a number of CDs (including Happy Hour, Failure, and Mystical Shit) and a couple of books (Jesus Was Way Cool, Daily Negations) that sold nearly as well as Dogbowl's novel. Detachable Penis is both a dubious badge of honor and an albatross around Hall's neck.
John Kruth is a multi-instrumentalist (playing a variety of strings and flutes) who has worked with Violent Femmes, Camper Van Beethoven, Allen Ginsberg and Hal Willner among others. He's recorded nine solo releases and co-leads the world beat orchestra TriBeCaStan. Kruth is the author of two biographies, including To Live's To Fly - the Ballad of the Late Great Townes Van Zandt. Dave Dreiwitz (bass) is in Ween and was in Tiny Lights; Billy Ficca (drums) was in Television.
The new version of King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) will have its first performance at (Le) Poisson Rouge, which is notable for a number of reasons. First, the first King Missile performance (before they had a name) was almost directly across the street, at the Back Fence. Next door to (L)PR is the CVS where Hall gets his anti-depressants. Also, (Le) Poisson Rouge has parentheses at the beginning of its name and King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) has parentheses at the end of its.
Some have asked, "Shouldn't this band be called King Missile (IV) or King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) (II)?" Actually, no one has asked that.

Mixel Pixel
Somehow managing to blend ‘60s Parisian decadence, Atari-inspired eight-bit cacophony, sweeping neo-folk revival, and a post-punk sensibility, Mixel Pixel’s sound palette is dizzying. Their latest outing is a headfirst collision between bourgeois vocal stylings reminiscent of Magnetic Fields and the heavy, unforgiving beats of Chris Clarks Empty the Bones of You. The album somehow sounds like Super Mario strumming Jeff Mangum’s guitar, humming along and bouncing his pixilated little feet to Stereolab and the Postal Service. Otherwise put, Mixel Pixel have crafted an album that dips its toes into just about every hipster-friendly kiddie pool this side of Brooklyn.
