Joining them will be your residents for the night Lazer & Blazer;

Lazer and Blazer are a team forged in the bowels of good music. They (Adam Littleboy & George Washburn respectively) have been friends for almost 15 years but only began djing together as Lazer and Blazer about three years ago. Separately they had been djing bedrooms and clubs for a few years prior. They quickly found that they made a good team, and the sound that they sought to bring to the area was a unique one. Locally, it seemed as though people started to agree and they began to get booked at various communions and bar mitzvahs.

This ended up being such a good time that in 2009 they decided it was time to start throwing regular events in the Capital District. That's when they teamed up with Properly Chilled and together, began putting on nights as a DJ collective called Select Rhythms, keeping rugs cut ever since at places like Quintessence and Daisy Baker's. Their sound can simply be described as eclectic, and depending on the mood of the crowd it will vary, but always be prepared for lots of the boogie. In December 2010 Properly Chilled rode off on a unicorn to be seen from and heard from again, and now Lazer and Blazer are free to begin their lifelong dream of starting a freestyle polka company.



Saturday March 19th
There is a $5 dollar cover after 10pm, free before.
Ages 18+

PERFORMANCE
Verdensteatret: And All the Questionmarks Started to Sing
Thursday + Friday, February 17+18, 2011, 8 PM
Studio 1 – Goodman
$15/10/5

A delicate, room-sized machine of intricate kinetic sculptures is assembled from flotsam, bicycle wheels, and old glass objects held in tiny robot arms. Actors who double as instrumentalists set in motion a chain reaction of dreamlike shifts between macro and micro perspectives. And All the Questionmarks Started to Sing crosses between concert, sculptural installation, and performance. In a landscape under constant transformation, light, shadow, sound, puppetry, and object theater merge to form a mesmerizing constellation of associations. Bringing artists of different backgrounds together, the work shows Verdensteatret's fascination with all kinds of animation—the strange and miraculous activity of breathing life into dead objects, stiff figures, and frozen images.
