** Big show coming up in Cleveland! ** Tickets on sale now **

Back in the 90's ECC spin-off The Weird Love Makers participated in a few of these events.  Now, after more than a decade off, it's back in a BIG way -- with many other bands creating custom-made performances to celebrate Enoch Light's legacy in lounge, plus go-go dancers, live VJing, video installations, and more!  The ECC will not only bring an Enoch-friendly Wheel Of Mashup to the show but also custom-made Kinect-based video installations where YOU get to be the dots in album covers like the ones above.

This is a rare ECC live gig not to mention a one-of-a-kind show all around! DON'T MISS IT!

From the Facebook event page:

A phantasmagoric dance party/revue of sight/sound/live performance, celebrating the 8/18/1905 Canton, Ohio birth of Enoch Light, the legendary Project3/Command Records kingpin!

By semi-popular demand, the 1990s phenomenon known as the ENOCH LIGHT BIRTHDAY MEMORIAL GO-GO HAPPENING returns to NE Ohio...ludicrously larger than all of the previous events combined. 

Yes, this is actually HAPPENING on the Beachland Ballroom main stage:

• New live analogue/modular synth arrangements of Dick Hyman’s electronic compositions, provocatively played by JON SONNENBERG AND THE HYMAN LEAGUE!

• Live vocal group performances atop iconic instrumental Project3/ Command recordings, sophisticatedly sung by THE FOUR CHANNELS!

• Enochian mashups and musical media mayhem maniacally manipulated by TRADEMARK G AND THE EVOLUTION CONTROL COMMITTEE!

• Groovy moves, daringly danced by AVA ADORE, DOT KING, AND TALLULAH MOONSHINE!

• Puppets and perplexities, pertinently performed by ZACHARIAH DURR!

• Jockeyed high-fidelity discs and mod visual atmospherics, enigmatically eminated by VJ VENDETTA, JEFF CHENAULT, AND TOTHAR!

• ...AND MORE! Let the Light turn you on!

ECC Church Bell mashup live - last chance show!

Concert and Performance Dates

Wednesday, 05 June 2013 09:02

Last year The ECC's TradeMark G. created a composition for church bells which played throughout October 2012, climaxing in a Church Bell Flash Mob that added a beat-matched electronic track DJ'd live from the street below... unique, to say the least. That was part of the great Finding Time: Columbus Public Art 2012 project which included different bell compositions every month during 2012.

This Sunday there will be a concert of the six pieces from the last half of the year, featuring compositions by Derek DiCenzo, Brian Harnetty, Bobby Floyd and others. For ours we'll be restaging the electronic component as we did in October, a live duet of electronics on the street with the bells in the tower.  If you missed it at the flash mob, here's one last chance!  Don't worry about costumes; just come, listen, and enjoy.

Special guest JASON FORREST Monday on Sound Of Plaid

General ECC News

Sunday, 03 August 2014 09:12

We've been fans of our next special guest for years.  In that time Jason Forrest has been active under many incarnations: from host of WFMU's AD&D show under his ill-fated DJ name DJ Donna Summer (seems there was already a famous Donna Summer; who knew) and on to starting the Cock Rock Disco and Nightshifters labels and even his own TV channel, the incredible Network Awesome... he even developed his own app.

Busy guy obviously, so we're lucky to snare him for a whole two hours as The Sound Of Plaid's special guest this week.  Tune in as we focus his frenetic energy into a great show of music and interview.  Listen and chat with us during the live show Monday, or catch a repeat airing through the week:
