Filter.SF at Anu presents: Fanon Flowers Live [Mechanical Industries, Nheoma, Dumb, Detroit/LA] plus: Filter resident Djs Saya, Kontakt + Solekandi $5 after 10:00 About Fanon Flowers: With a history of solid techno productions dating back to 1992 and a 2000 DEMF performance to his credit, Detroit native Fanon Flowers combines the funky, syncopated rhythms of techno with the soul of house music. Performing a live PA during his first ever San Francisco performance at Anu, expect a future classic sound from one of Detroit's own. About Fanon Flowers: Shunning overdone melodies and neo-minimalism for a more pure, mechanical sound, Fanon Flowers' 2004 release "Slovakian nights" has entered into the canon of techno classics - with remixes by Exium and Loktibrada on Numb. In 1996, Fanon Flowers appeared under his Mode Selector alias on the "Detroit: Beyond the Third Wave" Compilation. Released on Astralwerks, Flowers appeared alongside Detroit techno stalwarts such as Claude Young, Ectomorph, Sean Deason, and Anthony "Shake" Shakir. That same year, Flowers started his own techno imprint, Mechanisms Industries, to showcase his unique and funky approach to techno. In 2000-2003, a sub-label project entitled Cetron (short for Creative Electronics) was launched as a platform for more percussion based material. Mechanisms Industries has developed a large following for its creative interpretation of the techno sound. Famed techno DJs such as Jeff Mills, Surgeon, and Adam Beyer have been spotted playing releases from both labels.

Kris Delmhorst is a talented singer/songwriter who has worked with many bands, as well as releasing her own music. A triple threat fiddler, songwriter, and guitarist, The Boston Globe deemed Kris "a significant new folk-pop voice who combines alluring, rootsy melodies with the intimacy of the urban songwriter." Winterpills bring you a tender, filigreed sound, a humming, a buzz, a fragmentation of warmth and chill, a delicate suspension of belief. They are a band playing you songs of pretty losses and hollow hopefulness.
