First was the Verge Ensemble, who played Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Tierkreis, a piece consisting of 12 melodies based around the zodiac sign. This autonomous work leaves a lot of room for experimentation – it can be played on any instrument, with most recordings lasting anywhere from 12 to 96 minutes. The Verge Ensemble used two laptops, cello, violin, flute, piano and clarinets. The woodwinds and strings often seemed to be facing off, while the piano was often trilling in and out. The laptops were oddly unnoticeable, or perhaps just hard to hear – the speakers at the venue were frequently hissing and popping during their set. (Yet another frustration with Le Poisson Rouge.)

At an indie rock show? That's so random, and almost self defeating at the same time...awesome that it was an all request show! They're going to be on the new Josh Schwartz/ Alex Patsavas project Rockville, CA (http://www.thewb.com/shows/rockville-ca/), so once that happens I guess you won't (or will? Depending on the economy...) be seeing them at bottle service only places. Glad you read you enjoyed them, I've been meaning to check them out when they get to L.A.
