HELP US SPREAD THE WORD! We had expected to get some promotion help on these tour dates in connection with the release of a new ECC album. When the album release got delayed, that also shot down our dreams of promo assistance. These are our first shows in years in these cities, and we're bringing the super-fun Wheel Of Mashup show with our amazing VidiMasher 3000! We want to share this amazing show & tech with everyone that would appreciate it -- Spread the word! Invite your friends! Share the Facebook events! SEE YOU THERE! |

ECC @ Maker Faire 2010
Wednesday, 19 May 2010 09:50
T'is the season to be geeky
Fa-la-la-la-laaa la D I Y...
Yes it's that time of year again... spring is in the air... probably fired from some crazy spring-shooting canon. And that kind of thing would perfectly embody the aesthetic of Make Magazine's Maker Faire, a juggernaut of an annual event blazing a path somewhere between Burning Man and a really, really cool science fair.
Actually, it's a bit like Burning Man in one other way -- I've been telling friends for years to go. Too many just shrug it off and say "eh, maybe next year". The ones that actually come walk around dragging their jaws on the ground, like wide-eyed kids trying to take in all the crazy amazements that fill building after building, not to mention all the outdoor space between them.
Geeks, nerds, mad scientists -- Make Magazine has unified that whole motley DIY crew under the flag of "makers", and the Maker Faire is your chance to watch them emerge from basements everywhere with new inventions, and in spite of the duct tape and zip ties holding it together, one of them might completely revolutionize the world of energy... or computing... or music, or light, or textiles, or... getting the point? The Faire is packed with a huge variety of the greatest, weirdest tinkerings from every hue of the smarty-pants spectrum.
And The ECC has been part of it from the beginning, the literal poster boy showing off our Thimbletron to thousands. We'll be there with our amazing VidiMasher 3000 and The Wheel Of Mashup, performing both Saturday and Sunday at 4:30pm on the Tesla Theatre stage. Be there, or be quadrilateral!
WHAT: The ECC's Wheel Of Mashup & VidiMasher 3000 at Make Magazine's Maker Faire
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, 22 & 23 May 2010 / ECC: 4:30pm Sat & Sun @ Tesla Theatre
WHERE: San Mateo County Expo Center (i.e., Fairgrounds)
HOW MUCH: Day pass $25 / student etc. discounts available

Finally -- REELS OF STEEL show in San Francisco! (Sat 04/03/10)

This one's been a long time coming...!
Back in 2004, The ECC performed in the Avant Garage festival around Halloween. The festival features musicians performing live soundtracks to silent movies, and The ECC had previously appeared in a few. To up the ante, we tried out a fun idea: A live soundtrack DJ'd with soundtracks from other movies.
It was a hit. Bigtime. The idea worked beautifully, the audience loved it, and it was one of the most talked about ECC shows of that time. (Take a look for yourself!)
And it was never performed again.
For years we've wanted to do it again. It wasn't long after that show that The ECC relocated to San Francisco, and we figured a chance would come. But the silent movie for that show was the silent horror classic Nosferatu, which is a tough booking when it's not Halloween. So year after year passed without a chance to restage the success of our Reels Of Steel show on the west coast... or anywhere.
UNTIL NOW.
Finally, it's happening: Reels Of Steel will be performed next Saturday April 3rd at Other Cinema, the weekly experimental cinema night of mashup movie madman Craig Baldwin. The night's theme is Remix Masters and also features Kembrew McLeod's excellent new documentary Copyright Criminals and shorts by Negativland and others.
Don't miss this show! It's been six years since the last... who knows when the next chance will come!
WHAT: Reels Of Steel (live DJ soundtrack for the silent film Nosferatu)
WHEN: Saturday April 3rd / show @ 8pm / ECC @ 9pm
WHERE: Other Cinema, The ATA / 992 Valencia (@ 21st) / San Francisco
HOW MUCH: only $7 !
