NEW HAVEN – Just got out of a Bad Romance?  Can’t get off the Telephone?  Well, put on your Poker Face, play the Love Game, and Just Dance at Artspace Underground on Saturday, April 17^th, 2010! 

Think you can wear those McQueen platforms better than the Lady, herself?  Then walk, walk fashion baby because the most inspired Gaga look will win a gift certificate from 116 Crown!  Try your best, but dress to impress.

Or, if Gaga isn’t your thing, no big, we’ve got two bands and a multi-media puppet show performance right up your alley.  SHARK, a three-piece ethereal rock band from both New Haven and Boston, are, according to The New Haven Advocate, great

candidates “for listening in the car late at night or putting on the headphones and drifting off to wherever you want to go.”  Drift over to Artspace for Saint Bernadette, a five-piece erotically-charged aural accord that meshes a disparate template of psychadelic-

meets-arena rock with a peppering of jazz and candy-coated sing-along choruses.  Kamikaze puppeteer Kim Mikenis promises to tickle your senses with her unique and always original live performance pieces.

So there you have it, SHARK and Saint Bernadette will get you woozy, Kim Mikenis will perform a doozy, and DJ Sofia Cavallo will keep you schmoozy.  If you arrive between 8 and 9 pm, get in for $2 with your school I.D. 

 After 9 pm, $5 admission includes free spiked-punch until it’s gone.  $6 drinks from 116 Crown.  Be there or be square.

Artspace Underground: February 20th, 8-11PM

Join us in February for the next Underground to hear the enlivening tracks and solo performances by Novellar, EULA, and Paul Theriault and Kryssi Battalene.

Novellar is the solo project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate. She has performed in Rhys Chatham’s Guitar Army, and as a member of Glenn Branca’s 100 guitar ensemble. In April, No Fun Productions released her debut LP Paint on the Shadows.

Coming back for their second run-around (and fresh off the heels of their Matador Records win to open live for Mission of Burma in October) EULA is a 3-piece power group from New Haven, CT eager to play for Underground crowds again.  We're told that Nate is the pants, Alyse is the blouse, and Jeff is the cummerbund.  Apparently, they taste like post-punk-pre-historic-medium-gauge-indie-rock with a splash of lemon.  Sounds like the perfect Underground cocktail to get undressed to to me.

We're also eager to welcome back ambient Artspace favorites Paul Theriault and Kryssi Battalene to kick off 2010's round of Underground shows.

Come join us! Drinks are served by 116 Crown!

**Please note that tickets are also available at the door on the night of the event.**
