Astronomy on Tap + Peptalk + Letters to Nepal @ The Way Station

7pm- Astronomy on Tap
As summer quickly approaches, school are ending, concert series starts up, and the mosquitos come out to play, it sounds like a great time for an Out of This World Astronomy on Tap!  June 12th, we’ll be at the Way Station in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.  Come and hear from:

Weird Exoplanetary Systems, Nathan Bellomy, AMNH

Comet Dust through a REALLY COOL MICROSCOPE, Amanda White, AMNH

Today’s Largest Galaxies: Supersonic Winds and Massive Black Holes, Louise Edwards, Yale

It’s a Great Big Universe, Brian Levine, AMNH

And, to get yourself pumped up, psyched, ready and able for Brian’s presentation (and yes, he’s thinking about having a singalong, so you better be ready!), you may want to (re-)familiarize yourself with this classic Animaniacs song.

MC Tycho Brew-ha-ha will be hosting with games! prizes! glowsticks!

10pm- Peptalk
Genre: Electro-Pop, Exotica, Dub
For fans of: Mum, Cornelius, Flying Lotus, Martin Denny

Peptalk is Preshish Moments (electronics), Shayna Dunkelman (percussion) and Angelica Negron (voice). Peptalk's visceral music combines many exotic instruments with lush electronic sounds and airy vocals. They are obsessed with creating a hyperreal world both sonically and visually by blending bits of memory from their lives in Tokyo, San Juan and Los Angeles. Each member plays with bands and artists such Yoko Ono, Glasser, Xiu Xiu, Thurston Moore, Balun, and Tyondai Braxton, but by joining forces, they create rich musical arrangements of various percussion, accordion, strings, harp and voice accompanied by layers of synths, samples and electronics beats. Themes of solitude, escapism, and cultural curiosity are expressed through their songs that drift between intimate lyrical moments, dreamy sound textures, and grooves.

"A remarkable aspect of this music is the interaction between Shayna's percussion and the electronic processing" by Brian Chase (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) on Tom Tom Magazine
