tonight we went to see a couple bands play at the nucleus. the first band was kite operations, and they were pretty interesting. they're from new york and tonight's show was the last of a little west-coast mini-tour. we had dinner with them later and they seem like good people.

the second act was a one-man show called the moscow coup attempt, and i really dug this. it was a guy on a powerbook with some external hardware, synths and a midi controller and the music was synced to projected visuals that gave the impression of... well... a moscow coup attempt. the music was really cool and fit the archival footage well.

then we headed out to hodori with a table of about 20 people, and chatted with the band and company. all in all it was a good night at the nuc. below are a couple of videos from the performances, and there's a bunch of photos up in the gallery.
