Tonight, Saturday night, June 9 at 7pm, metal goes unplugged,
americana gets highly caffeinated, and electronica strikes back:

Branded with Fear, Lars Din, and Jim "Synthejim" Combs

Branded with Fear is Justin Staton on vocals. Chris Green on guitar,
Jake West on bass, and Nathan Weaver on drums. They describe
themselves as "a Rock band with gut wrenching riffs with a melodic
twist! Basically we are the spawn of what would happen if you blended
Breaking Benjamin with Sevendust." The band goes unplugged for this show.

Lars Din was born in Denmark at the request of his grandfather's
banjo, and immigrated with great haste to Northern Florida, where he
now mostly lives.

Identifying strongly with itinerant songwriters like Woody Guthrie,
Charley Patton, and Jimmy Rodgers, at 19 he dropped out of college and
began composing songs, playing them in bars and on street corners.
Says Din of his inspiration to pursue music, "I discovered a battered
tune lying next to a discarded guitar in the old Maxwell Street Market
of Chicago. I took it home; it sang to me."

The last few years have seen Din focus on the acoustic sound that
originally inspired him to play. "It's the tune," he rants. "it works
on a street corner, it works in a theater; it works for a living; it
overthrows the government; it sleeps in."

Most recently, Din has been performing with the Lars Din SongRiot, and
have released their first collection of Din songs as a CD called
"Freedom's Nightmare." The band features rowdy harmonies and the
interplay of mandolin, accordion, banjo, and trumpet.

In concert Din is animated, spinning his yarns with the offhand candor
of a veteran street musician. Listeners may hear the echoes of earlier
Americana, of Leadbelly, Tom Waits, Nick Cave or find similarities to
more contemporary songsters like Steve Earle, Iris Dement or Conor Oberst.

Jim "Synthejim" Combs aka Sensitive Chaos performs spontaneously
composed ambient synthesizer music. His latest CD release Leak has
spent 10 weeks in 2007 on the playlist of Public Radio International
nationally syndicated radio program Echoes, which is broadcast daily
on 145 radio stations around the country. Leak was judged to be one of
the top 10 ambient/spacemusic/electronica albums of 2006 by New Age
Reporter reviewer Bill Binkelman.

"I highly recommend Leak for its inventiveness, its beat-happy
effervescence, and its thorough lack of pretension, not to mention
it's just a flat out fun album from start to finish." - Bill
