Special DJ Alert!
Spain's POETS IN PROCESS
with DJ Dr. Wisz of deja blu

Mohawk Place
47 E Mohawk St.
Buffalo, NY
This Sunday, March 15th, I am DJing as the warm up for this indie rock band from Barcelona, Spain called Poets in Process. I think they are flying in to the good ol' USA to play the Canadian Music Week and then the famed SXSW (according to the Mohawk Place weekly email calendar). Luckily Buffalo falls in between those two concert stops. Buffalo has always had the 'quick extra concert stop between concerts on the East Coast thing going for it'... TO, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, NYC... It has been this way for ages, every since bands of any sort-- even big bands, back in the day-- they always stopped in Buffalo when touring the East Coast.
Here is what they sound like: MySpace page Poet In Process and their own site
My favorite song so far is A New Poet in Progess, #5 on the MySpace list.
Rich from P22 and The Western New York Book Arts printed the seventy-four awesome letterpress posters (in the photo above). Each one is unique. Letterpress-- which might undergo the popularity rise the silk screen rock posters had over the past 8-10 years-- is hand setting metal letters, inking blankets and printing the old fashioned way. It is the ANALOG of the print world really.
I think he said this square poster is 6 colors and the starburst is made with strips of lead. Don't forget all the characters are individually handset letters- time comsuming. Awesome skill, very cool. And to see my DJ moniker set in 72 pt Futura Bold metal. Extra cool.
Should be a blast, it's only $5, and it's an early night... you could be home by 11:00-12:00 or so.... you should all come on out!
Here is some more info cribbed from the Mohawk email (for those of you who don't receive it, you should), thanks Marty:

Spain’s Poet in Process, virtually unknown on this side of the Atlantic, are, in the words of their publicist, by way of their translator, a gem to discover, a truthful "nugget". Their compositions, attitude and presence on stage make of them the future of the pop rock scene. The combination of shrilled and ripped guitars with the delicacy and softness of the melodies, invites the voice to create captivating and violent melodies surrounded by a tender and whispering cadence.
After five years working and performing in a great number of venues and festivals, they have had the opportunity to support bands such as Stereophonics, OK GO, Albert Hammond Jr., Muse and Take That. The song “Why”, from their first LP Free Way has been included in the Guillermo del Toro's film Hellboy II, and several of their songs were featured in the soundtrack of the Spanish soap opera Cuestion de sexo. Four of their songs have been chosen to be playing on the website of the famous Spanish Chef Sergi Arola (www.sergiarola.es ).
Between appearances at Canadian Music Week and SXSW, the band is stopping off in Buffalo, with assistance from P22 fontmeister and The Western New York Book Arts's Rich Kegler.
