TALIBAM!
Since their inception in 2003, Talibam! (Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea) have been reevaluating what a band/music/musician/performer/artist/audience can and should be, remaining devoted to their belief that the application of sonic diversity is paramount to the appreciation of human diversity. Talibam!’s ultimate goal has been to wed disparate ideologies through proficiency, controversy, inquiry, and compassion — an approach perpetuating audiences and listeners to face, question, define, and attempt to defend their own level of tolerance and compassion head-on, no–holds–barred. Talibam! has collaborated across genre and medium, for example with artist Peter Coffin at Deitch Projects, with acclaimed choreographer Karole Armitage’s dance company Armitage Gone! Dance, and with Fluxus artist Yasunao Tone at the MoMa. To date, Talibam! has traveled to 40 countries, completed more than 30 international tours, and released 26 albums. Their newest release, Puff Up The Volume (Critical Heights), is uninhibited meme-team pop.

SPINIFEX
With its fearsomely explosive combination of musicians, Spinifex is all about compelling grooves, strong dynamics and challenging improvisations. 

Named after a tough Australian species of grass, Spinifex may at first sound like a combination of jazzcore, math-metal and other typically Western contemporary music. However, beneath the surface the listener will discover ancient cyclical rhythms of Turkish and Indian origin.

Eyal Hareuveni, allaboutjazz, february 2014, about the latest Spinifex album Hipsters Gone Ballistic: “… contrasting extremely tight, irregular structures and rhythms with explosive free improvisations and disciplined math- metal precision with playful Indian Karnatic rhythmic elements. All selections are played with sheer abandon and joyful passion, from the first second to the last one. All compositions feature restless shifts and complex dynamics as well as the highly collaborative and versatile interplay of this well-rehearsed quintet… the most impressive piece is an inspired, uplifting cover of Karnatic composer and singer Papanasam Sivan, ‘Sre Valli Devasenapathe, that sounds like a spin on their fellow countrymen The Ex’s Ethiopian covers. No doubt, the hipsters went on a wild ride.”
