Welded from the fruits of their own labors, TWANS set out to dispel current myths, question ideologies and sardonically allude to artistic nuances one would commonly dismiss. Between the three entities that are Mike Lockwood (drums), Andrew Jones (bass), and Mike Gamble (gtr) there exists an unyielding desire to connect in another dimension and utilize that interplay to heighten the worth of their songs.

Nick Podgurski, Broken Crow, Unity Garnish, DJ Roadhog Bitch New Firmament is an aggregate for the work, music, and art of Nick Podgurski. New Firmament has hosted lectures and workshops, curated ongoing live performance series, released albums, mediated groups inspired by the work of David Bohm and J.G. Bennett, programmed a weekly playlist-by-mail, hosted online book streaming, and is interested in doing work at the intersection of humanity’s inner and outer worlds.

VOTG is a site for individual and group contact with vision presented by artist and musician Sam Klickner, graciously invited by the gallery ILY2 Too at Lloyd Center Mall, Portland, OR. The establishment is a simultaneous exhibition and real-time development space for what Klickner calls “The Klickner Bottle”— a living, creative body of work composed by themselves in constellation and dialogue with people they love. From September through December of 2023, visitors are encouraged to witness and document the site repeatedly to experience numerous slices of its continual revision. VOTG will station an ongoing events series comprising music performances, a/v installation, workshops, lectures, dance, and live streams to boost these repeated visitations. – Love Klickner Bottle
