PRESS RELEASE:

Gentle Bakemono, naw, and VJ faux amie join forces to explore their
darker
sides.  David Kristian will be presenting his soundtrack Italo/Electro
alter ego as "Gentle Bakemono": David's new dark disco demon alter-ego.
naw is presenting all brand new material that will be appearing on a
number of his upcoming releases to be released over the next six months
including material from his newsest Noise Factory Records full length
titled "Dropfile and Other Lost Data" due for release later this summer.
There will also be a rare treat: the two artists will create an
improvised jam
together for this session. Drawing on their shared background,
both artists will compose in real time a soundtrack of minimal
ambience leading up to their live solo perfomances later in the evening.
VJ faux amie rolls out new visuals that will subtly build to a
crescendo of paranoia and betrayal.
The imagery won't jolt you out of your seat, but might make you look
over your shoulder on
the way home.
