Austin & Houston bands combine to deliver an evening of high-energy world music on March 29, 2008 at 8 pm Put on your dancing shoes or bring your barefeet as Space City Gamelan hammers out the bronze beats and Rattletree Marimba keeps you groovin' into the night.
Space City Gamelan is an Indonesian orchestra whose songs blend western compositional elements along with the moody, trance inducing gong and chimes sounds to create an entirely new music on ancient instruments.
Rattletree Marimba is a Zimbabwean style marimba band based in Austin, Texas. They play vivacious dance and trance music that is guaranteed to get the dance floor moving from the first song!
The cover charge is $10 but no one will be turned away! Free Range Studios would like everyone to experience this diverse music right here in Houston.

DiverseWorks, KTRU (91.7FM) and Asthmatic Kitty are proud to present Unusual Animals: Houston, Our Ears Depend On You,
a live event that highlights local artists, our local community, and
the variety of activities that makeup the cultural being that is the
city of Houston.
This event is Saturday, October 20, 2007 at 3PM in the DiverseWorks Theater and admission is FREE.
Unusual Animals, an imprint of the internationally
celebrated music label Asthmatic Kitty, was created as a side-project
aimed to expose more conceptual and experimental projects not fitting
squarely into any one genre of music.
No longer strictly highlighting underexposed artists, the
series now explores the contribution of all community members, urging
the planet to recognize the variety of activities that make up the
cultural being that defines a given city.
Specifically, Unusual Animals: Houston, Our Ears Depend On You will offer the public a full afternoon of music to include Houston's
own the Wiggins, Space City Gamelan, Hearts of Animals and Austin's
Moth Fight.
