Sounds intriguing, Brian. People should try to go. I'd go if I didn't 
have another show to run.
I only heard about this show kind of by accident a couple days ago from 
Jim. You guys should
do a bit more promotion. Hope it goes well though! I'll repost it for 
you on NTMTO for the hell of it.

Ana-Vey has been playing out for a while. They are like the Dresden 
Dolls and Ditty Bops (who
I must remind you again, are at Smalls on Sun Sep 2), but with a cello 
and some slinky downtempo
beats - Jack's a good programmer. I've had Ana-Vey play several times, 
including opening for
Slavic Soul Party at Smalls (any of you go to that? hmm?) and a 
showcase at the latest Flux.
They also opened for Fiery Furnaces at Smalls a little before that, and 
played with Jaggery @ Howler's.

Just go to Brian's show, people. If anyone is still out there on this 
list! :)
