Monday Night Creative Music Series: Chamber Cartel plus Jordan Benator
Chamber Cartel is proud to present the world premieres of three newly commissioned works! Listen by Nick Demos is a multi-movement quasi-jazz quartet (Saxophone, Upright Bass, Marimba, and Percussion) that serves as a bit of a warning. Throughout recorded history, humanity has watched helplessly as the darker nature of our souls unravel the nobility of our civilization. One by one, great empires have arisen and flourished over the many centuries only to ultimately succumb to the worst versions of ourselves. Larvae by Jordan Benator is an open instrumentation, variable length work that explores the gestation of an idea over the course of the piece. Machine City Z by Christopher Adler is scored for Alto Flute, Viola, Piano (with preparations), and Percussion. This three movement work is filled with rhythmic activity, hocketing, interlocking rhythms, and engaging textures.

Grocery Bag, Moon Owl's Mages, Shock Tea and Possums
$10 adv tix available HERE
Austinβs garage psych scene is currently a fertile, reverb drenched breeding ground for some of the most kinetic rock music in the country, and Grocery Bag is its latest prize export. The quartet, comprised of Bella Martinez, Jimmy Mercado, Dillon Aitala, and Logan Kerman, has spent the last two years mutating from a last-minute house show experiment into a formidable unit of face-melting "garage psych brashness." Itβs a recipe that has already earned them support slots for heavyweights like Osees, Frankie & The Witch Fingers, and Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.

The series continues at Eyedrum with our second workshop session. This program is meant to facilitate, explore, and refine live performance collaborations between musicians and dancers.

Monday Night Creative Music Series: Shane Parish
Shane Parish is a guitarist, composer, improviser, and interpreter whose work focuses on the translation of music across traditions, canons, and technologies. Known for his precise and expressive fingerstyle technique and his nuanced approach to transcription, Parish treats interpretation as a compositional practice, using existing works as material for structural and sonic transformation.
His recent solo recordings center on recontextualizing music not originally written for guitar. Autechre Guitar (2026, Palilalia Records) presents acoustic fingerstyle arrangements of music by the English electronic duo Autechre. REPERTOIRE (2024) applies the same methodology to works by composers and artists including Alice Coltrane, John Cage, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus. Solo at CafΓ© OTO (2025, Red Eft Records) documents a live electric guitar performance of English and American folk ballads.
