Magnesia The music is madcap, progressive, and intense; original songs that groove, swell, and jump. Chris Baldwin's eccentric lyrics and inspired vocals channel many characters; guitarist Rob DiRoma Jr. and bassist Chris Rivera engage often, and in harmonious layers; and Jason Geib's accented drum grooves provide rhythmic backdrop. Forever in Terror Forever In Terror's sound has a lot of metalcore elements, with big breakdowns and really powerful drumming. The songs are intricate and surprisingly well crafted and mature for a band so young. Aggressive and intense songs suddenly shift into mellow and melodic mode before cranking up again.

>>> For show info, click here >>> To get tickets via Ticketweb, click here >>> To get tickets via text, text OWEN5 to 467467 Owen In the past decade, Chicago's Mike Kinsella has played a variety of instruments in a handful of bands. Owen is his solo project Unwed Sailor Born in Seattle in 1998 at the tender age of intent, Unwed Sailor is helmed by Oklahoma-born songwriter Johnathon Ford. The basis for the instrumental project came into being while Ford was still writing with Seattle luminaries Roadside Monument. Pulling towards a bass guitar-oriented sound, the songs he had begun to craft did not fully feel right for Roadside Monument, thus the unbeknownst predestined forming of Unwed Sailor. Not aiming for Unwed Sailor to fall into the regular confines of a typical band, Ford's ever evolving cast and crew has been tirelessly composed over the years of good friends and company. Throughout the past decade, Unwed Sailor has shared the stage with the likes of Pedro the Lion, Mary Timony, The Danielson Famile, Sufjan Stevens, Early Day Miners, Minus the Bear, The Advantage, The Starlight Mints, Battles, and Mates of State(just to name a few....). The band has since been relocated and based out of cities across the United States, including Chicago, Seattle, Washington D.C., Jackson MS, Little Rock, AR, and most recently Lawrence, KS. With over 14 US tours and four in Europe, the band has traveled almost as much as it has evolved. Brooke Waggoner "...her music infuses a fresh sound that is both fun and ingenious. Each song has musical surprises with an orchestra that adds color to the album’s authenticity. Brooke definitely has an ear for creativity, which is not limited by commercialism or radio. She brings back the artsy style that was seen in music’s history while making her own mark." - American Chronicle

Battels typically take place in a standard-size wrestling ring, lined with miniature cityscape and random, over-sized Japanese monster-movie props.

On Monday, April 14th they proudly present “The Hysterical Fundraiser”, a comedy showcase hosted by Carolyn Castiglia (VH1, MTV2) to raise money for the upcoming Hysterical Festival. “The festival is a great opportunity for women in comedy and Comix is the perfect venue,” says Kambri Crews, Director of Publicity for Comix. “In addition to me, the two Directors of Programming, the Manager of Operations, our Executive Chef, and Private Events and Group Sales Director at Comix are all women. That’s a lot of women running a typically male dominated industry. Having the Festival at Comix will have everyone saying, ‘Hey! Nice pair of wits!” Featuring stand-ups, sketch performers, improvisers, cabaret acts, comic musicians, solo artists, writers, filmmakers, burlesque divas and more, The Hysterical Fundraiser gives outspoken funny women the chance to take center stage. Watch these hilarious women with “something to get off their chests”: Bridget Everett (At Least It's Pink at Ars Nova), Heather Lawless (Be Kind Rewind, Variety SHAC, Flight of the Conchords), Mel and El (New York Musical Theatre Festival Concert Series at Ars Nova), Adira Amram (Upright Citizens Brigade, Jane Magazine), Ophira Eisenberg (Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, US Weekly Fashion Police, VH1’s Best Week Ever); Rachel Feinstein (Comedy Central’s Premium Blend, Montreal Just for Laughs Festival) MON, April 14th at 8:00 PM Comix 353 West 14th Street New York, NY 10014 Line up subject to change. Tickets are $15 in advance; $20 the day-of-show, plus a two item minimum. They can be purchased online at www.comixny.com or by calling 212.524.2500. ABOUT THE FESTIVAL The Hysterical Festival is the brainchild of comedian/producer Desiree Burch and a series of Sunday afternoon mimosas. Hanging out with a group of female comedians sharing stories, eating junk food and getting bombed way too early in the day, the idea came to her: what if this camaraderie could lead to a comedy revolution? What if what came naturally to her and her friends could change the face of comedy - forever? It might look something like empowerment with a sense of humor. Sexy. Dangerous. Hysterical. The festival will run for 5 days with a total of at least 30 shows running concurrently across at least 3 venues. Talent will be curated from the NYC and national comedy community with an eye on fresh, original voices and well-known comedy pioneers. There will also be a contest for best newcomer that is open to all women. Festival events will range from standup shows and film screenings to solo shows, cabaret and sketch performances, storytelling and panel discussions. The Hysterical Festival aims to unite and expand the community of female artists and their fans and encourage the development of women’s humor, wit and self-expression. Shining a spotlight on the wide range of ways in which women are funny, The Hysterical Festival brings smart and smart-ass women from all walks of comedy together for the first time. ABOUT COMIX Opened in September 2006, the comedy nightclub Comix has quickly defined itself as the premier comedy club in New York City.

TWO POWERFUL BANDS ON ONE BEAUTIFUL STAGE HABANOT NECHAMA Habanot Nechama is made up of three beautiful, experienced singers, Karolina , Dana Adini and Yael Deckelbaum. Habanot Nechama is a live band in the deepest sense, having built a huge and very dedicated following before ever releasing even one single. No one could possibly have predicted the enormous success HaBanot Nechama found with their eponymous debut album. The August 2007 release went gold after only three weeks, and platinum immediately afterwards. All concerts on the first Israeli tour were quickly sold-out with an unprecedented demand by European summer festivals. The girls received great media exposure, topping the radio charts for several weeks, and eventually receiving a nomination for the "Best New Act" award at the Israeli Music Channel Annual Awards. And was named “Act of the Year” in DJ Ha'ir magazine. Reggae influences, soul-folk melodies, one of a kind harmonies and impeccable song-craft are highlights of this perfect showcase of how English and Hebrew can co-exist. for more information www.myspace.com/habanotnechama http://www.highlineballroom.com/bio.php?id=362 CHANA ROTHMAN Chana Rothman uniquely crafts Hebrew-English tunes in the style of Ani Difranco, Lauryn Hill and Jack Johnson, infusing bohemian songwriting with rhythm and positive vibes. After travelling through the Himalayas with a guitar strapped to her back, Chana settled in Brooklyn and began writing songs that reflected her mountain-turned-urban polyethnic Jewish lifestyle. A fresh voice emanating from the music scene in New York City, her debut CD, We Can Rise, was voted “Best Album of 2007″ by jewschool.com. Chana uses rhythmic, interactive stage presence to spread messages of love and justice, blending audience and performer into one. for more information www.myspace.com/chanarothman
