Sure they noodle on guitars but the five-piece are more spacy than crunchy and when they drop acid it’s in their synth squelches (à la the Roland TB303) and not in a tab of LSD. riginally from Atlanta they relocated to Northern California putting out their first album as Sector 9 in 1999. While they have a sturdy drum-&-bass background their last album Artifact had them venturing out finding some neo-electro and techno friends in Richard Divine and Bassnectar. The mostly instrumental opus Peaceblaster is their first release on their new 1320 imprint. Glitch master Prefuse 73 is the opening act on Friday and Glitch Mob opens Saturday night. (Daniel Siwek)The long-running SoCal punk-pop trio the Muffs would be worth seeing live if only to marvel at former Redd Kross drummer Roy McDonald who plays with the controlled chaos of the late-’60s Keith Moon battering and rampaging his way through the songs like a stunt man falling down a staircase — always landing on his feet and in perfect time snapping to attention with the crack of his snare drum.

Formerly self-described as a "bi porno electro punk rapper" Bernard has amassed a wide and international fan following that until now has been largely predicated on a shocking sexually charged persona. In 2005 his album Whores Have More Fun made waves in LGBT music and received critical kudos (placed by The Advocate in its Top 10 independent releases of the year) despite song titles like "Lick Suck Dick Fuck" "Ride It Cowboy" "Str8 Actin" and of course the title track. Combined with his outrageous stage shows and a wardrobe that showcased lots of vinyl pants (but very few shirts) the provocative artist earned a lot of attention for his sound and image. He earned plenty of supporters for the political and LGBT activist implications of his work; but he also garnered detractors who saw his aggressive brand of sexuality as crass and vulgar rather than sensual and steamy. Bernard admits that persona may have turned off as many listeners as he turned on. As a result his 2008 album See the World reveals a kinder gentler side of the artist.
