Heco's video includes a brief montage to give context to his bizarre set which to my mind started at load-in.

Hours from now, time slows to near standstill when the fair Fletcher Pratt spins up his devices. Like a night bath, don't deny yourself, we'll sink ourselves in stages like bugs bunny starting 8pm at the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF, all-ages notaflof $5-$15 sliding.

Fletcher Pratt
Darkitecture of the mind's inmost spaces, that is Fletcher Pratt's speciality. Boundless in abstraction yet never disjointed, his sounds stretch like skin continuous across an impossible skeleton, inexorable in motion, shifting lithe and unseen. On this night, an epidermal split leaks that bone darkness into the light, the jugular tapped as video, spilling in both digital and analogue synthesis.

The crack of a monstrous hatching, the hen is calling from inside the house! Reine and Rachal let you inside out this THUR, tmrw!, at the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF 8pm all-ages $5-$15 notaflof

Hen House
Want in, or do you want out? Which is the cage and which the escape? Forget the foxes, evil arrives ever from within, between, behind, and below. Violence is already passe don't you know? It's predator-free living that conjures deepest darkness, unhatched life is death denied, an embrace that would keep and never kill. What is wanting then? Behold as this hag-industrial music measures out sound one mountain at a time, pinning you beneath the monstrosity of intimacy, the plangent abyss of an eternal interior. Let their "Her Thrown" album aquaint you with objectless terror, no escape from what awaits inside that roost without rulers: the gold hold of the Peacock Lounge.

No one is like Ven Voisey, something singular will go down TONIGHT inside the Peacock Lounge 8pm. Also, a new Oscar's Tacos pop up is inside Woods next door

Ven Voisey
Presence irreducible, being itself, without translation or utility, is our substrate beneath perception. The ability to summon presence without attachment, subjectivity itself without identification, is an approach to art that defies easy description. Ven Voisey summons physical space, in sound, with kinetic automata, through time and motion. This isn't meant to be art speak but an accurate explanation of why you have to be inside the Peacock Lounge for what will happen. Much more fun than artspeak might imply, Voisey is easy to be around and no genre or jargon explains what he does. Close as we can tell, he's an artist marvellously attuned to form, material, technology, and ontology, modulating time and presence into something perceptible that leaves you saying, holy shit.

omg omg omg tomorrow will be thursday and come 8pm no matter your age or how full your wallet you'll wish you had four ears three hearts and half a brain in your head except two one and one will have to suffice as you find yourself faced with Dimuzio coming fullbore through a quadrophonic PA array!

Thomas Dimuzio
This is the wizard the land of Oz wished for, benemalevolent, shrouded in torrents of sound, daring lions to speak and machines to weep. Come set your straw brains alight and melt your metal heart as your furry ears purr and yowl. Innovative techniques of sound synthesis, signal processing, algorithmic mixing and custom crossfade looping stoke this smelter of man and machine.

Clown poetics in experimental music devoted to ancestral channelling, what more needs to be said! Except that it happens this THUR 8pm at the Peacock Lounge which is all ages and no one gets turned away for lack of funds and to remind you that clowns do come in all demeanors so brace yourselves when you clomp through that door in your big ol spikey polkadot shoes to be among your peeps. I've said too much, I've said too much, but also know this:

Holy People
Informed by her cartooning practice, Leah Victoria's "clown poetics" channels stories from different characters' voices and ancestral perspectives under the name Holy People. Using an array of woodwinds, percussion, synths, found objects, and field recordings as backdrop to her melodies, she draws from underground punk, noise and EDM, Andean-Amazonian hymnals, avant-pop as well as nursery rhymes. All the way from NYC, don't miss her west coast debut at the Peacock Lounge!

I'm so excited Dead Fern is coming to the Peacock Lounge, 552 Haight, SF this THURS 8pm Show up fashionably ON TIME! Your underground art scene is better, deeper, darker than that surfacey shit. Be a good corpse, say nothing; just dig deeper!

Dead Fern
Nephrolepis exaltata often survive winter die-back even when lush fronds are absent above the soil. Resolute inattention however can assure a fern that is fully dead, a companion for those who exult in the sonorous interior life. Empty societal norms deserve nothing but ghostly rustling in reply anyway. The delicate rictus of decayed fronds hearkens to memory of loss, to green denied, succour withheld where once a torrent of phyllobilins stormed. Let nothing impede exploding photons from the Sun. Hold dead-rooted, only quaver as time passes from stars into sinewaves, each scorched link along the path signaling our raging senecence.
