 ram Notes and Bios\n\nGrizzler is a large improvising band organized aroun
 d a diverse group\nof Boston's best musicians. Individually and in other g
 roups\, these\nmusicians have developed their own strategies for music mak
 ing. In\nGrizzler\, we each try to stay true to our own individual voices 
 while\ncreating a collective\, spontaneous composition.\n\nForbes Graham i
 s a trumpet player\, composer\, and electronic musician\ncurrently based i
 n the Boston area. He grew up in Silver Spring\, MD\nstudying and performi
 ng jazz\, classical\, and concert band music. As a\nteenager he discovered
  heavy metal and hardcore punk\, genres which\ninfluence his pursuit of ex
 treme sound to this day. His music is also\ninfluenced by numerology\, poe
 try\, cinema\, marching bands\, and the 80s\nin general (the era in which 
 he grew up). He has performed at Festival\nof New Trumpet\, Vision Festiva
 l\, High Zero\, amongst others.\n\nJack Callahan\, Amherst resident\, solo
  percussionist and booker of\ncountless basement shows. His music aims to 
 create a total sonic\ntakeover of the space\, always by employing silence 
 to gather souls\ntowards a complete ecstatic takeover. (or\, sometimes by)
 . Sometimes you\nwill ask\, 'is this record still playing'? Yes it is stil
 l playing.\n\nCalled 'One of Boston's steadfast explorers\,' by the Boston
  Globe\,\nsaxophonist David Gross has been performing for more than a deca
 de.\nAmong a slew of others whose names are perhaps not as recognizable\,
 \nMr.Gross has performed with Phil Minton\, Eddie Prevost\, Steve Roden\,
 \nJohn Olson\, Gino Robair\, Martin Tetreault\, Tom Carter\, Glenn Spearma
 n\,\nRaphe Malik and many members of the Boston free-improv scene includin
 g\nBhob Rainey\, Greg Kelley\, and Laurence Cook. Currently\, Gross is\ntr
 ansforming the saxophone into exactly what it is: a metal tube with\nkeys\
 , mouthpiece\, and a reed. Reviews of his recordings have been as\nvaried 
 as 'The range of textured noise that he cajoles from his\ninstrument is im
 pressive' to 'lengthy episodes of fingernails ripping\nat a blackboard' an
 d recently 'the intimacy with which he approaches\nthe saxophone\, each sc
 rew in each latch\, every fiber in the reed\, every\npad or valve\, and al
 l the negative space in between\, is simply\nastounding'. Gross has perfor
 med throughout the US and Europe including\nat festivals as diverse as The
  KNOB (Wichita\, KS)\, Big Sur Festival of\nExperimental Music (CA)\, High
  Zero (Baltimore\, MD)\, Improvised and\nOtherwise (NYC)\, The No Idea Fes
 t (Austin\, TX) and Autumn Uprising\n(Boston\, MA) which he created in 199
 7. His most recent disk \,\n'untitled(or not yet)' (1pt8 seconds) a studio
  recording with James\nColeman(theremin)\, Mike Bullock (contrabass) and S
 teve Roden\n(electronics) was just released. Future releases include a liv
 e\nre-issue of his band FETISH\, with bassist Mike Bullock and\npercussion
 sit Tatsuya Nakatani (Weirdo Records) as well as his second\nsolo disk 'th
 is is the grizzle' (1pt8 seconds).\n\nStart time: Doors 7:30 pm \nMusic  8
