Tequila House Band: Drums, synth bass, and guitars thread needles in intricate, chaotic loops. A jazz, math- and post-rock powered dogfight that veers perilously close to the sun. Compositions are obliterated with reckless abandon, only to be pieced back together in dadaist anti-logic. FFO: Terminator 2, All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi, Mezcal.

Tyler Borden, known as T.J. to many, is a cellist comfortable in many different settings. He has performed in concert halls and basements, art galleries and theaters. Growing up in Rochester NY, he began classical training at age 6 and has continued it first at Ithaca College where he studied with Elizabeth Simkin and later at the University at Buffalo. He has performed with various ensembles at Syracuse University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Cornell University, and the Eastman School Music. He has also developed a passion for experimental and contemporary music which has led him to share the stage with modern music luminaries such as Tony Conrad, JACK Quartet, and Paul D. Miller aka DJ Spooky and has premiered works by Ben Isaacs, Lena Nietfeld, and Zane Merritt. Notable performances also include an appearance at the 2008 Sound Ways New Music Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia and playing Witold Lutoslawskis Cello Concerto with the University at Buffalo Symphony Orchestra in 2012. Currently, he is a member of Wooden Cities, a Buffalo-based new music collective of musicians dedicated to performing the work of emerging and underrepresented composers, and the SWITCH ensemble, a Eastman-based group focused on the performance of electroacoustic works.

Clarinet Panic was born in 2009 as a vehicle for hectic dream jams realized by cellist Cory Latkovich. Joined by saxophonist Karen Ng Happiness Project, Woodshed Orchestra, guitarist Sebastian Shinwell Holy Gasp, Chrymes and drummer/wordsmith D'Alex Meeks Hooded Fang, Holiday Rambler, CPDLXX has released 2 EPs and toured Canada and the United States.

"Clattering ahead like the score to a never ending horror film, inching towards climax as cello and sax play a game of back & forth only to be driven forward by systematically antagonistic drum patterns and their own instrumental curiosity. Bastard chamber music meets math rock." Burn Down the Capitol

like holding hands,

running through ancient forests,

eyes shut,

screaming in equal parts:

Joy and something else
