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.

Trial by Laughter, a show with seven comedians competing for the approval of fellow comedians, audience members, and fans on the web, all while vying for cash prizes and media exposure comes to Comix May 27th. Seven acts, known as "defendants," perform five minute sets. Defendants consist of comedians of all levels, from complete newbies to international headliners and are pre-screened by the producers to ensure that the audience gets the best show possible. "We really wanted to do something different," said Executive Producer and co-creator Steve Hofstetter. ‘Last Comic Standing’ is for seasoned veterans, and many new talent nights in the city don't have any actual industry watching. Trial by Laughter is a show for talented comics who just need a break." The show also features two guests and two headliners, as well as regular hosts Steve Hofstetter and Moody McCarthy. The winner chosen by an equal combination of judge, audience, & web votes, is invited back to compete again on the following show. A three-camera shoot, Trial by Laughter features broadcast partners like National Lampoon Radio (XM), the forthcoming Comedy Express TV network, and LiveVideo.com. All headliners will stay after the show to answer Defendants’ questions, and a member of programming for Comix, will be watching every show. TUE, MAY 27th @ 7:00 PM Comix 353 West 14th St. Tickets are $9 plus a two item minimum in the show room and can be purchased online at www.comixny.com or by calling 212.524.2500.
