BandBio: "My Brothers Banned evolved from a Thursday night community music
gathering. Born in historic Mohegan Colony, local musicians met on an open
air stage weekly to make music. The regulars often ended up playing old
time, folk, blue grass and rock favorites acoustically. When the weather
became cold, the hard core few met in a living room weekly; eventually
writing material and honing a sound that's a blend of many styles.
The banned takes influences from Gram Parsons, Uncle Tupelo,
Whiskeytown, Ramones and the Meat Puppets, finding a balanced blend
of acoustic instruments and raw energy. All band members have roots in punk
rock and then felt the gravitaional pull towards American roots traditional
music."

Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
