MUSH RECORDS TOUR

It's been nearly two years since Marc Bianchi brought his sprawling electronic project to Austin from the Bay area, a move of such personal and professional import that it's reflected darkly on Her Space Holiday's 2003 release, The Young Machines (Mush). We've not heard much from Bianchi and his seminew band members, but an HSH live show is a fun, beery affair, the bleak lyrics notwithstanding. Electronica queen Riz Maslin (aka Neotropic), Octavius, and Thavius Beck open.
