TradeMark to MC at Prepare For The Playa
Monday, 16 June 2008 21:53
Sunday, June 22: The ECC's TradeMark G. will MC at Prepare For The Playa, a great mini-market of vendors, demos, classes, performances, and more to help you prepare for Burning Man. Seriously, just getting to buy your playa needs under one roof really beats mail ordering blinky things from one place and pod belts from another (and paying shipping on both). Be there!

ECC @ Deep Wireless Festival (Toronto)
Sunday, 13 April 2008 16:16
The Evolution Control Committee returns to the Deep Wireless Festival in Toronto, Canada!
31-May-08: The ECC debuts a brand new performance:
SPACE: THE VINYL FRONTIER
In 1977, NASA launched the two Voyager spacecraft to explore the outer solar system and beyond. The spacecraft also contained a message: a golden record, with 80 minutes of music, pictographic instructions on how to build a turntable, and a needle. For whom? In this performance, TradeMark G. and The Evolution Control Committee explore this ultimate desert island disc and a future race of alien DJs who try to make sense of the last record in the universe.
See the festival's Performances web page for location and cost.
01-Jun-08: The ECC's TradeMark G. joins a panel of unusual radio artists to talk about Burning Man's BMIR 94.5 FM radio, its spin-off Shouting Fire, and what it's like to run a radio station in the remote and harsh Black Rock Desert of Nevada. The panel is part of the Deep Wireless / Radio Without Boundaries Festival.
3:15 pm Insight to Radio on Site
Moderater: Andrew O'Connor; panelists TradeMark G (Burning Man Festival radio), Peter Courtemanche and Gabe Sawhney (murmur) How does context influence the radio content made on site? What are the unique challenges of taking broadcasting outside of the conventional studio? What are the social responsibilities of radio produced in situ?

It's after the Saint Stupid's Day parade, are you still feeling a bit peckish and looking to sate your need to be silly, but, don't know what to do? Might we suggest a bit more merriment and ribaldry to aid in your recovery? Well then, come on down to the 6th annual after Saint Stupid's Day parade, after party; tent revival and swap meet at Thee Parkside! It's just what the Bishop ordered! If you are unfamiliar with The First Church of the Last Laugh and its contributions, checkout: www.saintstupid.com. But, be sure to come to Thee Parkside afterwards for a celebration of all that is held dear by Saint Stupid himself...music, food, drinks and lots of fun!
Our fabulous guest MC will be none other than the illustrious Michael Peppe. Michael will regale all with his wizardry of the spoken word and weave a tapestry of trance inducing poetry. Plenty of musical interludes will be provided by the likes of some of San Francisco's most intriguing acts. Los Banos kicks off the night with their brand of wacky, mariachi inspired, clown entrenched, lyrical interpretations and will have you panting for more. Just like the prison camp they are named after, Abu Ghraib will hold you hostage with their heavy metal style of music and leave you wishing water boarding was still on the menu...America; fuck yeah! Next up, those Minstrels of Mayhem, Fluffgrrl, will thrill, delight and assault all the senses as they play their version of post-punk, pre-apocalyptic, art-fag rock. Rounding out the night is none other than Evolution Control Committee. ECC has been assailing the land with illegal music since 1986. Those of you unfamiliar with their
shenanigans shall be forewarned; this ain't your mama's electronic music! John Law will be on hand with some slide excerpts from his foray on the road with the Dogminican Trio. Manny, Moe and Jack will be present!
All this and more packed into Thee Parkside, located at 1600 17th Street, SF, CA, 94107. $6 cover, $5 if in costume, $2 PBR's and $2 tacos available all night... doors open at 8pm...show over by Midnight (we know, it's a school night) all kids 21 and over welcome to join in! Don't be fooled by cheap imitations, this is the place to be after the Saint Stupid's Day parade! So, set aside some time from your hectic and busy schedule to have a little fun for one night...$5 gets you in to see some great bands, hear Michael Peppe ramble on and see some other wacky and wild stuff. All that and $2 will get you a scrummy taco and another $2 will buy you a PBR...yummo!...So, we hope to see you all there!
