Opening performance by TBHQ. Followed by a performance by poet Karen Schoemer and Eric Goulden, live from the TSL parking lot. Karen Schoemer and Eric Goulden are a mismatch made in heaven. Their rugged cabaret of original poetry combined with distorted piano, omnichord and guitar drone is at once elegant and deranged, poised yet on the verge of falling to pieces. Karen is a poet who performs in the bands Sky Furrows and Jaded Azurites. Eric began his recording career under the name Wreckless Eric on Stiff Records in 1977 and has continued to record and perform in various guises and under various monikers ever since. From 2014 to 2017, Karen and Eric were two-thirds of the Schoemer Formation, along with guitarist and keyboardist Amy Rigby. TBHQ: Experimental noise improvisation from New York. Listen to TBHQ here.
