Electronic evening to ensue
Wagon Ttain Project welcomes cutting-edge artists to winter forum
ELECTRONIC from page 12
“A lot of the acts are not fit for pub
lic consumption,” Alberico said.
“Sometimes it’s noise for noise’s sake,
but there are moments of harmony to
balance the dissonance.”
The acts involved in this union of
avant garde music and modem discord
are Liberation Sound Design, (featur
ing Alberico), Space Modulator, Flesh
Eating Maggots from Outer Space,
Martian Car, Jon Davis, Manheim
Cream Slinger and Jaroba.
While most acts are relatively new
to the music scene, some are local
mainstays seeking new avenues of
expression.
Alberico has been playing and
touring professionally since he was 14
years old, as the upright bassist for a
bluegrass group.
Manheim Cream Slinger is the
brainchild of drummer Paul Tisdale
from local favorite Sideshow. Univer
sity of Nebraska-Lincoln music stu
dent Amy Wilson and her husband,
Nick, front the electro-acoustic-based
Space Modulator.

There are a lot of extremely creative
people in Lincoln with just no outlet.
(The festivals) introduce people to music
they didn’t even believe existed in
Lincoln.”
Jared Alberico
festival organizer
Jon Davis, who was asked by the
city to cease his musical activity on
the comer of 14th and O streets, prom
ised a greased-whip dancing demon
stration in conjunction with his mu
sic and will serve as a “floater” in be
tween acts.
The festival has attracted a wide
array of interest, much to Alberico’s
surprise.
“I was hoping to attract high
school and college students,” Alberico
said. “But we also see a lot of people
in their 50s and 60s.”
To maintain attendance, Alberico,
who is covering most of the expenses
himself, has intentionally organized
an all-ages show with a low cover
charge with cookies and juice avail
able for all.
Nebraska’s Winter Electronic Mu
sic Festival is Saturday. It will run
from 7 p.m. to midnight at the Wagon
Train Project, 504 S. Seventh St. Ad
mission is $3 and all ages are wel
come.

Scarlet Runner brings
youthful blues to Lincoln
SCARLET from page 12
der, as well as Pearl Jam, the Red
Hot Chili Peppers and the Black
Crowes.
All three of the members write
the songs, with Jason Christensen
penning most of the lyrics. That’s
kind of a tough thing to do, con
sidering their ages.
“Some of it is word-for-word
fact, some of it is taking our own
experiences and translating them
into something that would stand
the test of time, something more
generic everyone can relate to,” he
said.
He and Rathe graduated from
Union High School in La Porte City
in January. Jack Christensen is now
a freshman there.
Scarlet Runner made it to the
semifinals of Musicians
Magazine’s Best Unsigned Bands
Contest last year. Jason Christensen
won the semifinal round in the
National Jimi Hendrix Guitar
Competition held in Chicago at
Buddy Guy’s bar, Legends.
“I’m going to Madison Square
Garden in New York for the finals
in the beginning of June,” he said.
“I’m really excited. I’m going to
be playing with The Experience,
Jimi’s old band.”
As far as the future goes, it
seems the sky’s the limit for this
young band.
You can catch Scarlet Runner
at the Zoo Bar, 136 N. 14th St.,
about 9 tonight. There’s a $4 cover
charge.
