Mad Swirl Open Mic Night and Benefit!


Mad Swirl is once again callin' all you Beatniks, hipsters & ca-razy cats out there as we get to openin' the mic this 1st Wednesday at Absinthe Lounge. Join in on the insanity as all the mad ones come gatherin' 'round to wail away on the mad mad mic.

Be a part of Mad Swirl history this 1st Wednesday as we record the featured artists of the upcoming sixth print issue of Mad Swirl! Maybe your hoots, howls, claps or finger snaps will get picked up on the mic to be forever captured on the print zine's bonus CD! We start rolling tape at 8:30 with the following line-up:

Swirve
Johnny Olson
Cheyenne Gallion
Lisa Olson
Paul Sexton
Opalina Salas
MH Clay
Desmene Statum

And wait! There's even more fun in store...
