8:30PM THOMAS SIMON
"Haunting and hypnotic, Thomas Simon performs a suite of eerie soundscapes evoking both Syd Barrett and David Gilmour-era Pink Floyd as well as Bauhaus and, when the ghostly melody begins to take a recognizable shape, Australian psychedelic legends the Church. Incorporating elements of minimalism, sci-fi and horror film scores as well as goth music and oldschool art-rock, it's an ominous treat for the ears." -Lucid Culture

10.00 PM PIERRE DE GAILLANDE AND BAD REPUTATION PLAY BRASSENSComposer Pierre de Gaillande grew up listening to his father's recordings of renowned singer-songwriter Georges Brassens. He took on the challenge of translating his hero's songs and brings the message to American shores now: "It's so warm and so human," de Gaillande says of Brassens' music. "It's not about money, it's not that God told me to do this, it's not about 'I'm stronger than you.' We're all in it together; let's eat a great meal and have a bottle of wine."

10:45PM FUCKINTOSH
The first Beast appearance by the elusive mash up artist last year was hilarious and highly enjoyable. Now the pressure is on... What will the artist who has paired exotic couples like Nirvana with Elvis, the Beatles with Kraftwerk and Edith Piaf with Dolly Parton, come up with this time? Special guests? You bet, cause you're one.
"Stealing things is a glorious occupation, particularly in the art world." -Malcom McLaren

11:30PM BIT-TUNERProducing low-speed detonations from Switzerland since he got to New York, Bit has been a regular player on many dance floors with overwhelming repsonse. Experience his fine-tuned 'in your face' electronic approach with acid sounds and melodies to let this night ring out sweet and loud.
