Information about next month’s three performances offered by Outsound Presents is now available. As usual, there will be two LSG (Luggage Store Gallery) New Music Series events on Wednesday evenings; and between them will be the monthly SIMM (Static Illusion Methodical Madness) Series program on a Sunday evening. As regular readers probably know by now, LSG is located at 1007 Market Street, just off the corner of Sixth Street and across from the corner of Golden Gate Avenue and Taylor Street. Admission is on a sliding scale between $10 and $20. The SIMM Series concerts take place at the Musicians Union, located in SoMa at 116 9th Street. Admission is again on a sliding scale, this time between $10 and $25. Program specifics are as follows:

The Dirtie Gertie is simply a rubber band, which is played with an oversized extension spring. The Rotary Xylophone is basically a chain of wooden beads under MIDI control. Tales from The Secret Opera! is a joint project of vocalist and dancer Bob Marsh (who sometimes performs as Grum) and David Michalak, who alternates among lap steel guitar, electric harp, and a skatchbox invented by the late Tom Nunn. For this performance they will be joined by Kersti Abrams playing alto saxophone and mbira.
