THE SKETCHPAD
a.i.m. (advanced idea mechanics), launched in 2002, is a freeform collective dedicated to the advancement of fringe independent music, and the deconstruction of the stagnant commercial mainstream. a.i.m. functions as a subsidiary of local independent label Telepathy Records, both overseen by Elio DeLuca. a.i.m. curates “the sketchpad” concert series, which highlights artists from a wide variety of marginalized sonic art forms, including noise, loop, ambient, IDM, free improv, and sonic dance. Having produced events at the old Zeitgeist Gallery, as well as other locations in greater Boston, a.i.m. is proud to return the sketchpad to its rightful home at the new Zeitgeist, on the first Sunday of every month.

RANDOM ROBOT
the fourpiece funk hipsters fresh out of Lexington.
What happens when you combine Jimi Hendrix, No Doubt, Soulive, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Aretha Franklin? You experience the tantalizing sound of RANDOM ROBOT, the uber-funk/blues/rock quartet from Lexington, MA. Comprised of Eric Vincent [18, guitar], Stefan Pescatore [18, bass], Jimmy Goodrich [19, drums], and Anna Vogelzang [18, voice], the group has played numerous about-Boston gigs and during March of 2003 became finalists in WBCN’s High School Battle of the Bands, playing at Bill’s Bar and The House of Blues. All 4 members received Full Scholarship to Berklee Summer Program after displaying “amazing musicianship” at the finals for BCN’s Battle. Robot’s intense musicianship and energy exudes from the stage and to the strong, loyal, and ever-growing fanbase that has been adding to Robot shows for the past year.

WHIMSY
Whimsy is an evening variety cabaret with a focus on the unconventional. We usually have 8-10 acts in the two hour show, from bands to performance artists, films, dance, poetry, wrestling, comedy…Whimsey is not open mic, but its purpose is to give the oddest and most marginalized artists in the community a voice and an audience so they can spread their weirdness and let it be free and grow. We usually throw in a popular local band or two as well.
