The weekly improv/experimental music night at the Baltic Room, No Tomorrow, has just announced that their tomorrow has come—their last night at the Baltic Room will be November 5th.

I see it as an experiment that got beautifully out of hand, and it amazes and pleases me that it lasted as long as it has. Collectively, we turned a space designed for hip urban shenanigans and liquored up dancefloor junkies into our own personal sound laboratory (sometimes including liquored up dancefloor junkies). A posh nightclub on Capitol Hill became a special place where we felt comfortable to try out new ideas and get real feedback, real support, from real friends. And all of this happened deep within the kingdom of indie rock hegemony. Ok, well, the periphery really. But still…

No word on when and where the night will start up again, but you still have a few chances to say your goodbyes. Here are the remaining shows they have:

This Sunday, the 22nd, will be the homecoming of Syphilis Sauna, BiaXial Creep, and LowRez. They brough an oneirothopter with them. This would be a good opportunity to get your last waltz on…

Sunday, the 29th, we will be hosting OvO of Load Records fame, Ear Venom, and Rollerball. This one’s $5 bones. I hear Halloween’s sometime around then, so I suppose costumes wouldn’t be terribly out-of-line.

And, lastly, Sunday, November 5th. On this night, I cordially invite anyone and everyone to bring a soundmaker of their choosing—acoustic, electronic, or otherwise to the Baltic for a last sonic stand. It’s suggested that you bring your own power strip if you are going electronic. And, it’s best to stick with a small setup to give everyone some physical and frequency to work in. I don’t know exactly how this will work, but we’ll figure it out. Tell your friends (and bring your recorders).
