Bad Smell finds popster chameleon Mr. Ray Fork stirring up a pile of old synthesizers along with drum powerhouse Jane Boxall, together serving up generous portions of trance / dance / stripeypants excitement, whipped-cream ’70s Europop, Casio Latin boogie, and electro-ambient drum’n’bass. Mr. Fork wires up a mad-professor rig of antique beat-machines, Korg and Casio synthesizers, and sundry sequencers while Jane augments the sloptronics with tremendous, cracking drums.

It will be loud. It will be fun. Dancing will be encouraged.

The ferocious hard-rock-with-gay-sprinkles trio Tinkerbullet will also be featured, and Ezra Holloway opens with his crunchy new band.

Stage 33 Live is a casual and intimate industrial-rustic listening room in a former factory hosting local, regional, and national performances and presentations of original material. No bar or kitchen, the stage is the mission; coffee / soda / juice / water and weird snacks available by donation.

Stage 33 Live gratefully acknowledges the help of so many individuals without whom none of this would be able to happen, and institutional support this season from The Island Corporation, the Vermont Arts Council, Guilford Sound, WOOL-FM, the Rockingham Arts & Museum Project, and Chroma Technologies to help fund improvements and maintenance, and generally smooth out a lot of the rough edges. Stage 33 Live is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and all donations are deductible to the fullest extent. Volunteers run the thing from stem to stern.
