This Sunday I invite you to join me for my first ever solo live performance for FREE. I have no idea what will happen. I have no idea how this will sound. I will begin prepping Sunday morning and what you will see and hear will be an entirely improvisational performance that will start and end with you in your home. No editing, no multi-tracking… you will get the full nitty gritty: fuck ups and all. I follow a list of highly varied and skilled performers and recommend tuning in early to hear and see all of their performances! Please RSVP HERE: https://www.facebook.com/events/140097439463119

There is a backpack. There will be things that make noise in this backpack. There is a plane. It will be taking this backpack to Seattle. There are MORE noise making things and people in Seattle. We will all be in a room with these things. These things will light up when electricity is surged through them and they will make SOUND. SOUND YOU CAN HEAR. WITH YOU EARS. THAT ARE NEXT TO YOUR FACE. YOUR FACE HAS THESE EYE THINGS THAT CAN SEE:

THIS. IS. THE. BIG. ONE.
We, The Qualia (Lars Casteen, Chvad SB, Rossen Nedelchev, and Zakai Robbins) will be celebrating the release of our new EP,MEMORIAL GORE, by completely losing our minds at Pianos on the evening of July 8th.
And we’re not alone. We’ve roped Bellevue’s Finest (the best band in New York City) into helping us in our festivities. Sure, we’re really excited about this, but we’re not the real winner.
THE REAL WINNER IS YOU. For only 10 American dollars, you can see both New York’s best band and the world’s best synthesizer music for a stunning two hour event. Also, you will be able to pick up our new EP, MEMORIAL GORE, for a great low price.
We will be playing a BRAND NEW COVER of a SONG THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE, and it WILL BE INCREDIBLE.
Come on out!
What: The Qualia CD RELEASE SHOW with Bellevue’s Finest
When: Friday, July 8th, starting at 9:30 p.m.
Where: Pianos, 158 Ludlow St in the LES
How Much: 10 USD
Why: Because both bands are going to put on a great show, and it’s a great chance to pick up the new EP, for a shocking low (not yet decided) price.

If the idea of listening to the best synthesizer-driven pop band in New York City at the height of their powers is something that’s attractive to you, we have an offer.
The Qualia. Live at Kenny’s Castaways, Friday, April 1st at 8:30 p.m.
The entire band, Lars Casteen, Chvad SB, Rossen Nedelchev, and Zakai Robbins will be performing what music writers would call “a blistering set of perfect pop songs, punctuated by immaculately orchestrated synthesizer arrangements, carried forward by today’s best rhythm section” if they ever bothered to come to our shows. Don’t make that mistake. Come to our show.
WHEN : Friday, April 1, 8:30 p.m.
WHERE: Kenny’s Castaways, 157 Bleecker in the West Village.
HOW MUCH : 5 measly dollars.
We’re going to be moving on to an after-party shortly after the show, so come early and hang out for the night.
RSVP HERE!

We, The Qualia (Lars, Chvad, Rossen, and Zakai) are back for an early Friday night show with tons of special twists, turns, surprises, and whatnot.
OPEN BAR! Shortly after we start playing there will be an open bar (from 8 – 9) or so, so this show is an economical and enjoyable way to start your Friday night.
EXCLUSIVE, 1-OF-A-KIND T-SHIRT GIVE-AWAY THING! We’re printing up one (1) t-shirt featuring a variation of the “dilapidated tugboat”** poster for this show. Maybe you’ll be the lucky recipient of this one (1) t-shirt. You have to be in it (the show) to win it (the t-shirt), so come by!
NEW SONG! We’re playing a new song!
Cover’s 7 bucks, there’s an open bar while we’re playing, and it’s a Friday, so there’s really no reason not to come and bring all your friends. Start your evening with us. It’s going to be a blast. Come and participate!

What happens when bytes of data fuck with YOUR air pressure?
Is it spinning? Is it the jockeying of discs? Is it more important than the bands who
made the stuff? Is it better on vinyl or stamped coiled metal? Does it need a platter
to matter? What happens when bytes of data fuck with YOUR air pressure?
