LoFi Chorus | 10:00 PM
 Lo-Fi Chorus is the singer/songwriter project brought to you by Erik Thompson. It is rock and roll in the folk, soul and country traditions. It is dark, it is funny, it is complex, it is simple. Erik enlists musicians from many circles for recording and touring, quite often he performs alone. Erik has welcomed players from bands such as centro-matic, The Drams, Baptist Generals, Melt Moment Function and Dove Hunter. Erik has opened for the likes of The Supersuckers, Rogue Wave, Low, Old 97s, centro-matic, The Drams, The Frogs and countless great bands. Erik is very engaging performer and wonderful storyteller. He is a songcrafter and consummate performer. He takes classical training into the garage and creates very intuitive melodies and interesting chord structures. He stands on the shoulders of giants and remains very Lo-Fi Chorus. Lo-Fi is active in anti-war activities, and has raised funds for groups such as Humane Society, The Committee for International Peace and Men Against Violence. These politics are woven into the music with tales of fact and fiction in a way that stimulates the intelligent listener. Lo-Fi Chorus is the thinking person’s boot stompin’, bar ramblin, tall tale tellin’, contraband runnin’, whiskey drinkin’ music. Please, buy the records and come to the shows, thank you.....Good Night.

Salim Nourallah | 11:30 PM
 i was born in alton, illinois. eldest child of fayez and karen. my mom was an art major, dad an accountant. opposites attract and then raise dysfunctional children. my brother faris was born just 18 months after me. he plays music too. in 1970 our family moved to el paso, i was just 3. our names were strange and to the general amusement of other kids i wore big glasses. they made fun of me alot. boohoo...when i was 9 i saw the beatles white album in k-mart. i got my grandmother to buy it for me. it changed my life. when i was 16 i started writing songs. brother faris was the only one who believed they were worth a crap. faris started playing drums. i played guitar. F sold his car for a drumkit then moved to guitar. i moved to bass. then we moved to denton, texas. we hated denton. the nourallah brothers made our self-titled debut in 1999 on an 8-track recorder then quit playing music together. faris has released several solo cds since then. i've had 3 full-length solo cds come out since 2004: polaroid (2004); beautiful noise (2005) and snowing in my heart (2007) plus the a way to your heart ep (2004), live at pleasantry lane (2007) and ciphers from snowing (2008). i just completed work on my latest cd with billy harvey in austin. it's called "constellation" and will be released in europe by tapete records in the spring of 2009. i also have a wife (jayme) and son (gavin). they are the most important people in my life.
