Huge Huge News LoveTechateurs!

Not only did we have an absolute blast last month, giving Preshish Moments a heartfelt sendoff, supported by MGFest and a terrific onslaught of the most stunning back to back performances that LoveTech has seen yet... not to mention Moldover's delightful light-triggering MIDI box tribute!...and be sure to peep this Preshish moment from the night: http://youtube.com/watch?v=96HFfZtV1hM and check our pics here as they're being uploaded: http://flickr.com/photos/celeste_lindahl2/sets/72157624650081624 ...

We are now being featured in the spot light this month at some stunning new venues, and we couldn't be more thrilled! Instead of the regularly scheduled Last Saturday at Il Pirata (let's face it - we're all gonna be at Burning Man or packing), we are being featured at 3 very special events, focused on Invention and DIY Innovation, very much in line with the spirit of our brilliantly creative community.

First Up!:

THIS THURSDAY at NightLife at the CA Academy of Science for Inventor's Month!

LoveTech @ the CA Academy of Science
Thursday, August 5th
6pm-10pm
55 Music Concourse Drive, Golden Gate Park, SF


LoveTech: Live Electronic Music Performances in the Aquarium:

6pm: Preshish Moments
Preshish Moments delivers deliciously bassy synths, seismic beats, and enlivened rhymes with an instrument he built from wood, crossfaders, and buttons from old submarines. He makes music, builds electronics, sews light suits, and writes computer programs for himself and other musicians. Performing a special ambient groove set for the CA Academy Aquarium!

7pm: Colfax
Colfax will swoon you into your subconscious with his musical mastery. This virtuosic sound sorcerer stirs analog electronics expressively alive. Unearthing styles and musical sentiments long forgotten, Colfax is interested in the soul embedded in the tape, the mystery in the circuitry, the ghost in the machine.

8pm: Nonagon
A calm and collected musical genius, effortlessly melding genres from ambient drum'n'bass to downtempo IDM, Nonagon will linger longingly in your subconscious, with gentle and gorgeous productions that surge and flow. His intricate melodic beatscapes are both stirring and alive, as he recreates them seamlessly with his glowing Monome.

9pm: Moldover
If technology and music are your life, brace yourself - Moldover is about to reformat your soul. Hailed by 700,000 YouTube viewers as "The Godfather of Controllerism", Moldover is a new breed of music icon. Combining the charisma of a rock star, the mad genius of a basement inventor, and the radical inclusiveness of the DIY internet generation, Moldover is "literally throwing away the rule book and reinventing the wheel" (Remix Magazine). Performing a chilling midtempo set for the CA Academy Aquarium!
