[0]Philadelphia's Flying Sutra brings together State College native George Draguns on guitar and Bob Cozzolino on drums, and the duo produce a wild, angular klang equally influenced by free jazz, avant-punk, and heavy psychedelic music. Both men have lengthy musical resumes ranging from indie-rock to improvised music to film soundtracks, but the elemental swirl of their current sound is out in some other space beyond all that, and there's a fair chance that their live show will blow the roof off the place.
[1]Detroit duo indoorpark features master fingerstyle folk guitarist Nick Schillace (whose playing has knocked out State College audiences several times in the past few years) in a more expansive rock context along with Jon Moshier on drums and electronics. With indoorpark, Schillace translates his sterling post-Fahey acoustic technique onto an (often effected) hollowbody guitar, while Moshier provides crisp driving rhythms and spacy sampled sounds. The pair's music takes in everything from folk-rock to surf music to post-rock, and is especially entrancing as they stretch out in a live setting.
