PERFORMANCE, SERIES  New Nothing Series  Dan Deacon, Skeleton$, Luciano Chessa + Nuclear Power Pants  Friday November 13, 8 PM $15 / $10 / $5 Punky funk meets Futurism and homespun electro in this paradoxical grouping of artists from far ends of the musical spectrum. Skeleton$ has been described by Pitchfork Magazine as "an outsize global-a-go-go mélange of unceasing polyrhythms, Afrobeat guitars, free jazz, and Timbaland's approach to kitchen-sink percussion." Protean italian composer Luciano Chessa will perform Futurist poetry and a piece for piano and stuffed animal. To top it off, the inimitable Dan Deacon, exuberant manufacturer of indie noise-dance, will shakes the spackle off the walls and your hands into the air. Nuclear Power Pants opens the whole shebang. » More Information     SOON PERFORMANCE, TALK  Garth Knox  Saturday November 14, 8 PM  $15 / $10 / $5 Garth Knox, one of the world's few acknowledged viola virtuosi presents a concert of music written for that instrument and its Baroque relative, the viola d'amore.
