Jewelry Rash is Brian Mumford's (Dragging and Ox Through Water,
Jackie-O-Motherfucker, Sunfoot) wildly divergent solo noise electronics
set propelled primarily by his homemade oscillators. Ben Kates is a
saxophonist originally from Massachusetts where he first started pla...ying
saxophone in the 4th grade. Kates lived in New York City for ten years
where he played in hardcore punk bands and the improvising duo
Fire&Flux. He moved to Portland in 2006 where he has played in the
groups Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly! Fly!, the Naked Future, Barges, Always

to being a musician, Kates works with students with emotional and
behavioral disorders and sits on the boards of the Creative Music Guild

The Outset
Series (a project co-produced by Revival and the Creative Music Guild) is Portland's only recurring event for creative, improvised
music. This series at Revival Drum Shop actively presents experimental,
avant-garde, and creative improvised music in a unique setting. We aim
to provide musicians of diverse approaches within the genres of
electronic, improvised, free jazz, and experimental new music with a
regular performance opportunity while fostering a community in Portland
that supports this music. This is the place to come to see the best
Portland has to offer, to network and meet fellow fans and musicians,
and support a critical element of the Portland music scene. 1/18, $5
(100% goes to the musicians), 8PM, Revival Drum Shop.
(Music ends by 10 - don't be late.)
