ARTIST OF THE MONTH
January 2009

Po-Mo ProjectPound The Valley

The band is:

Meggity Rabbit / Tanish / Hotsauce / Orbit Walks / Stickman

The band has been playing together since last week, when most of them met playing drunken Marco Polo under the Donald Street Bridge. Following a brief encounter with something that was either a UFO or a giant donut store sign, they found their last member staring vacantly into space and mumbling something about vanadium. Their music can best be described as what happens when you mix NyQuil and Jaegermeister with Red Bull and pretend it's Koolaide.

The band performed its first public show at the Downtown Coffee Ground on Monday, January 5th, 2009.


Meggity Rabbit: Piano, Guitar, Vocals (Picture at right is Po-Mo Project)

Activities: exploring holes, eating carrots, watching out for large dogs and trying to make as much noise as possible.


Po-Mo Project LogoMeggity Rabbit is Meghan Athavale and is also involved with the visual arts as Po-Mo Project...

PO-MO's projection show incorporates old technology, old graphics, antique animation techniques and an iconoclastic use of symbolism garnered from comic books, old soft-porn posters, and anything else she can find. The show is constantly evolving and growing to reflect the music styles of artists working with PO-MO, her eclectic personal interests, and the wide variety of audiences she intends to project for.


Currently PO-MO is teaching herself to 'scratch' video loops, live video feeds, and audio samples simultaneously, and she is dreaming of a day when she can throw a show that everyone can contribute to artistically. She performs with her son (above right).

PO-MO plans to launch her first official website December 19th, 2008.


Tanish: Lead and Backup Vocals

Activities: trained by Mulgrath the Ogre to shapeshift, though he died, tragically. While eulogizing through song, he appeared to Tanish and said, "music....that's all".


Hotsauce: Laptop and Guitars

Activities: disguising himself as celebrities and visiting beer vendors after midnight to sell autographs, frenology.


Orbit Walks: Stand-up Bass

Activities: staring vacantly, making origami bombs. Keeps a large collection of highly toxic materials under his bed 'just in case'. Has installed a camera in his apartment to spy on his cat.
