Imagine a man playing an orchestra as though it were a percussion instrument, and you might get some idea of the Moe!Kestra!: a massive ensemble of superb musicians conducted using a little bit of sheet music and a hell of a lot of body english by the frenetic percussionist and intense performer Moe! Staiano (Sleepytime Guerilla Museum, Inkboat).  The Moe!Kestra! achieves an overwhelming sound that dances between the worlds of rock, industrial and avant classical music. At Cellspace on Saturday, September 5th, they will be performing a piece celebrating the new era of hope (which we are hopefully still living in): "The End of An Error".  The piece employs a massive string section, four percussionists, and a section of guitars with special multiple strings of the same string played with implements.  PLUS: a tribute to the Sun Ra Arkestra, in which "The Voice of Doom" (KZSU) will be spinning some of their more rhythmic and vocal-oriented work.   Cover charge: $8  Doors: 8pm   Moe!Kestra!: 9:30pm  Full bar.
