The Red Masque will be performing on May 2nd
in Philadelphia at Germ Books and Gallery (2005 Frankford Ave.,
Philadelphia, PA 19125; 215.423.5002). This concert is featured as part
of Philly's "First Friday" Arts Crawl. Show time is 7 PM and admission
is FREE but donations accepted.
This
will be a very intimate concert experience with a LIMITED number of
seating. Germ Books is also an unusual space and describes itself as an
"alternative independent bookstore that [provides] access to
ideologically unpopular books; books that address difficult social
topics; books that don't cater to the lockstep mentality of the current
counterculture; and books that reveal who our true masters are: The UFO
Overlords."

The Press Release from Germ Books (www.germbooks.com):
FIRST FRIDAY ON FRANKFORD AVENUE
GERM PRESENTS The Red Masque, "Philadelphia's premier avant rock band"
This
Friday, much deserved excitement surrounds the Lisa Spera/ Lydia
Hamilton Brown photography art opening at the Highwire Gallery, just
one block away from us (www.kenbmiller.com/highwire/index.html). We're
hoping their sun catches our rainbow on fire (sorry, Douglas), as we
simultaneously host the disciplined chaos of progressive rock titans
THE RED MASQUE.
City Paper described them as the "darkness of
Hammer Horror ambience and cursedly complex musicianship (think Gong
meets Bauhaus) with only feedbacking noise, sound-collage clustering
and the howl of vocalist Lynnette Shelley to light its way." Plus, they
sing about some of your favorite Germ subjects! Cthulhu, pre-Cambrian
insects, Atlantis…
