This show will open with a candlelit set of music by GHOST IN THE HOUSE. Then, REEL CHANGE and GHOST IN THE HOUSE will perform live soundtracks for Death of a Hollywood Extra (1928), Ghosts Before Breakfast (1928) and a set of films by David Michalak including: Reaching For The Trigger, Regenbogen, See What You See and others.

David Michalak is celebrating over 30 years of filmmaking and plays “avant” lap steel guitar. He formed REEL CHANGE to perform soundtracks for his films in 1999 with Andrew Voigt (ROVA co-founder) and Tom Nunn (instrument builder, Tom Waits etc.) GHOST IN THE HOUSE was formed in 2004 with “The Gongwoman” Karen Stackpole, Kyle Bruckmann and Tom Nunn to perform movie music without the movies. Tonight’s show combines the 2 groups for maximum effect.

Snacks is a food-bourne band out of baltimore.  For six+ years dan breen and tom boram have been creating work aimed at entering or leaving the primary body orafices, often in one project or performance.  snacks have used drums, homemade electronic instruments, tap dancing, sound-modulated lighting, sampling, experimental finger foods, odor field generation, and video to improvise cathartic, yet unhealthy, post-post-consumerism live sets.  These sets are often short, served snack sized and lengthed.  Video works for data sale and/or internet-streaming often incorporate debauched dancing and/or revampings of b-grade 70s action cinema from distant, developing film industries.
