| The Secret Life is Threv & Tricil, along with Josh Clayton, Ryan Dempsey, Randy Garcia, Jeremy Dickens, Omar Torres, and anyone else willing to jam the f*ck out. We have played raves, house parties, fetish nights, festivals, clubs, concert venues, and your house. We are the chameleons of Atlanta's electronic music scene. We invented Peachtree Industrial. We played The Echo Project. We've played with Mindless Self Indulgence, Genghis Tron, Miles Tilmann, Larvae, Deerhunter and countless others. Tricil has played live as a member of Haujobb, The Nerd Parade, and one cold Thanksgiving Eve in 2001, Pigface. Threv is a local radio DJ for Atlanta's longest running electronic show, The Mobius. He is also responsible for bringing the official national Laptop Battle to its new home, Atlanta. Our debut CD, The Great Book of Mysterys (and how to solv them) is out now: http://www.myspace.com/atlsecretlife | 10pm: slicnaton (from Raleigh, NC) | 
| slicnaton (say slick-nay-ton) is best known for dark-ambient and electro-free music comprised of improvisations and compositions which marry live electronics with instrumental performances. http://www.myspace.com/slicnaton http://www.slicnaton.com | 11pm: tayO | 
| tay0 is a name I've used some variant of since 1986 as a conduit for my bedroom studio experiments while I played "real" music in a number of bands. I've done a few remix projects, some production for other artists, and some TV / film work. For the past several years I've been collaborating with other like-minded folks like weaklazyliar, drummer Mitch Sosebee and, recently, steelmaster Stacy Cargal. I also play keyboards and guitar with Atlanta artists Lindsay Rakers and Blair Lott. Style: abstract expressionist hip-hop, or maybe post-gospel micro-funk Kit: Moog, Roland and Nord synthesizers, Apple computers, Digidesign and Steinberg software, other random pedals, mixers, microphones and such. Influences: Brian Eno, John Cage, Bill Laswell, Meat Beat Manifesto, The Orb, Mark Rothko, Thelonious Monk, MMW, DJ Shadow, Eric Satie, George Clinton, NASA, Glenn Gould, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk, Jim O'Rourke, Sonic Youth, Oscar Peterson, Aphex Twin, Jackson Pollock, DJ Logic, Run-DMC, Herbie Hancock Bio: I discovered elecronic music methods at an early age, becoming fascinated with tape machines, turntables, and unusual guitar approaches as a teenager. Fortunately, my coming of age coincided with the arrival of small, affordable synthesizers and drum machines in the early 1980s. I've spent the time since then trying to reconcile my obsession with electronic forms with my love of roots music, folk forms, funk, jazz, and rock & roll. Charles Mingus (probably) said that there's only two kinds of music: good and bad. I'll take that a step further and say that there's only two kinds of music: that which makes sound, and that which doesn't. At least with that, I know which kind I'm doing. http://www.myspace.com/tay0 http://www.jetpackstudios.com/tay0/index.html |
