  Phoenecia:
  One half Joshua Kay and the other half, Romulo Del Castillo. They are the
  proprietors of The Schematic Music Company and the ringleaders of "El Tour
  De Los Guapos". When seen live, Phoenecia injects whatever suits the mood.
  Selections from this tour will be included in their forthcoming album
"Lewd Archives".

  Richard Devine:
  With 3 laptops, he will perform selections from his latest full-length
  studio album "Asect:Dsect", released on October 7th and a new 12" entitled
  "Sort/Lave" set for release in January. Richard will be plugged in and set
  to stun, because electrifying is just not good enough anymore.

  Otto Von Schirach:
  With one microphone and a garlic press, he will perform selections from
  most recent effort "Chopped Zombie Fungus", (released in Spring 2003) and
  unveil a few tracks from his newly completed studio album, "Global Speaker
  Fisting". His performances worldwide have been known to shock and offend,
  but it's only make-pretend.

  Nick Forte:
  The newest addition to Schematic's eyewitness lineup, his appearance will
  serve to promote his recent album, "Pasted Lakes", released in August.
  Nick's presentation will be an evolved step beyond that of his previous
  tours with Christmas Decorations (on Kranky - did you see them at
  Platters last year?) and Beautiful Skin (on GSL),
  his other projects. This time, his guitar and multi-track will battle each
  other every night until a winner is proclaimed.

  Hearts Of Darknesses:
  Frankie Mussarra, aka Hearts Of Darknesses, is one part composer one part
  mc, and 5 parts spaz. He once became so entangled in his mic cord during a
  performance that he fell and broke his collarbone. He will likely be
  premiering selections from his forthcoming LP on Schematic Waste
 Management,
  "Music For Drunk Driving", due out on February 24th. Needless to say,
  Frankie will not be driving the motor home. He is currently on tour with
  Stars As Eyes and Shy Child now.
 
  Xanopticon:
  Pittsburgh's own breakcore hero, sometimes compared to Venetian Snares
  but on a whole other level. Has vinyl releases out on Tigerbeat6 (split
  7" w/Kid 606), Peaceoff (split 12" with Eiterherd), and Mirex. Appears
  on the Hymen/Ant-Zen comp CD 'Masonic'. Set to come out very soon with
  a full-length on Hymen. Do not sleep on this worldwide player!
