OVERLY POLITE TORNADOES with Fiona Dickinson and Three Grebes

Overly Polite Tornadoes are a husband & wife duo from Kalamazoo, MI (featuring Mark Andrew Morris & Holly Klutts-Morris from Tambourina).  They play a mix of Introspective Bedroom Pop and Shoegaze.  They are celebrating the release of their 3rd full length album, available on Vinyl and CD!

Three Grebes is a project born out of a mutual love of improvisational music, exploring new ways to create delicate music, and making sure they eat at the best empanada place in every town.  Beth McDonald (tuba and electronics) plays in the Ken Vandermark-led Edition Redux, and is well-entrenched in Chicago’s improv scene; her solo work stands as a testament to sonic exploration. Franki Hand (guitar, violin, accordion, vocals) has been a cog in Kalamazoo’s new music scene for a decade (she’s a member of Petrillo, Kalamazoo Drone Society, Wowza, and handturner).  Ike Turner can be seen riding his bike throughout town, probably with Sleep’s Dopesmoker playing in his ears; he’s in a million bands, too (Wowza, Out, Kalamazoo Drone Society, New Standards Men).  They have a new album out that they’re happy to share with you at this show! This performance will feature their dear pal Kenni Dankert providing visual elements throughout the show.
