Other Minds launches BRINK: Other-Minded Music
Monthly performance series premieres Wednesday, April 27,
at Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco

San Francisco, CA (April 14, 2005) — On April 27, Other Minds launched BRINK: Other-Minded Music, a new monthly concert series providing an intimate setting for performances by local, national, and international musicians and composers, with a focus on music experimentation. Held at Hemlock Tavern’s recently renovated, 100-person capacity performance space near downtown San Francisco, the series reflects Other Minds’ commitment to the world community of composers and sound artists, and presents a new opportunity for developing “other-minded” artists, as well as artists seeking a more intimate forum to congregate and perform their works. Curated by Other Minds Program Director Bernard Francis Kyle and board member David Katznelson, along with guest curators, the series runs the last Wednesday of every month at 9:30 p.m.

ADMISSION
21 and over only. Cover charges apply; cover charge for April 27 performance is $7.

ABOUT HEMLOCK TAVERN
Hemlock Tavern is located at 1131 Polk Street, between Post and Sutter, one block east of Van Ness Avenue. Hemlock features a newly expanded live music performance room, physically separate from the main bar, which was originally designed by studio recording engineers and underwent a renovation and expansion in January 2005. While retaining much of its beloved intimacy and charm, the room is now a somewhat bigger, and all-around improved, version of itself with a new 16' x 10' stage. The Hemlock Tavern received the 2004 SF Weekly award for "Best Intimate Venue."
