Something for everyone, for a good cause

There's a truly eclectic show at the Duke Coffeehouse tomorrow night, a tsunami benefit for SARID. Whether or not you can attend the show, consider making a donation here.

The lineup includes a full gamelan (Indonesian-style); a band that takes complex dissonance even further than yesterday's; a collective of contemporary music composers; a rock band doing great things with the '80s sound; and a jazz/jam trio. Lots of notes will be played, that's for sure! It won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I think it looks fascinating. Here's a sampler:
