Joining them the 1st night will be House of Low Culture (featuring members of Isis and Stephen O’malley of SunnO))) and opening the 2nd night  will be drcarlsonalbion (AKA Dylan Carlson of Earth).

What do our brains sound like? Find out when Masaki Batoh of japanese progressive psych-rock legends Ghost brings his Brain Pulse Music project to the states for the first time. He’ll be appearing at the Communikey Festival in Boulder, CO April 26, Austin Psych Fest on April 27th and on May 2nd he brings his multi-media mind experiment to Chop Suey in Seattle. Brain Pulse Music is described as “experimental bioelectric procedure that uses electronic and musical processes developed by Batoh to reconcile the spirit and the body. The project is the result of years of research into the bioelectric functions of the human brain combined with the traumatic aftermath of Japan’s Great East Earthquake.”

Wow, there is  a ton of great stuff going on next month in Seattle but first we’re making a pilgrimage to Mecca, California for the Desert Daze Festival at the Sunset Ranch Oasis. Tuareg desert rockers Tinariwen head up a packed line up of amazing bands like Lumerians, Chelsea Wolfe, Entrance Band, Dahga Bloom and Feeding People. Should be some fun.
