Contra Fair Art and Music Festival Set for October

Local Artists and Musicians seek to Create Alternative Community

Brainerd, MN - October 13, 2007 - Regional artists and musicians who fall outside the traditional and established structures will have a place to celebrate and display their work at Contra Fair, October 13th at the Eclectic Cafe in downtown Brainerd.

The Contra Fair is an attempt to round out the existing artistic and musical community in the lakes area and is the first art and music expo geared toward underground art and music. It is being hosted at the Eclectic Cafe and is a collaboration of the MN Art Mafia and Triple Decaf Records.

The MN Art Mafia is an online artist cooperative and gallery space for artists wishing to have a venue to display their work. Triple Decaf records is an independent record label and recording studio looking to provide a low cost alternative for struggling musicians.

Over twelve local artists will be participating in the Contra Fair, contributing paintings, drawings, airbrush work, mixed media, literature and fiber art. Local and regional musicians performing will be Shallos, Koreann Martin, Darwin Xylophone, River White, Birthday Pony, Bribe The Ghost, The Blind Shake and The Yoleus.

The music is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. and there will be a cover charge of eight dollars at the door.

BCMP returned from their tour, we will be finishing up the vocal tracks and mastering shortly. Going to be purchasing some new monitors and drum mics as well. Birthday Pony has recorded some demo tracks for the myspace page, since people actually seem to want to hear us... weird.

Also I am helping organize a art/music expo slated for sometime in october. More than likely be at the Eclectic. Contact if interested.

Finished up our first session with a local hardcore band called Bill Cosby Murder Project, http://www.myspace.com/billcosbymurderproject . We still have to finish vocal tracks and do a little mastering, but it overall sounded pretty good. Drums are coming along nicely and overall it sounds pretty fierce.

Thinking about doing a redesign of the site already... I get bored easily.

3D is recording its first band... in 2 weeks. Studio is not finished yet, actually we haven't even started framing or sound proofing... but what the hell, rock doesn't wait.

Actually put some content on the pages. Scary, it's starting to look like a website.

4/30/07 Site Launch

Well, it finally launched. Actually Erich was gracious enough to help me get the server up and running, which made me get off my ass and design something.

This may take a little while to actually get the site in working order, so please bear with.
