OFF: Quarkspace announcement

[K Henderson]

Hi...

Forwarding this piece of important information concerning the future of
another SpaceRock entity whose domain name is as yet unchallenged.  :)

Grakkl (FAA)

P.S.  Beware!  Proceed with Caution!  Certain person whose name begins with
N and ends with K mentioned below in a statement seeming to reek of
promotional intent!  :)

Hey folks,

   Just a note to our friends to let you know that Quarkspace is essentially
retiring from live performance.   The main reason is due the necessity for
some members to concentrate more on personal issues, so time spent for
Quarkspace has to be limited.

   Also, Quarkspace's next studio CD, Drop will be released on mp3 format
for free at Quarkspace.com within the next few weeks.   The CD format will
be released into the public domain through various "tape traders" sometime
soon after that.   We hope to be able to have free CD copies of Drop
available at our farewell show on Saturday November 17th at Ruby Tuesday
(not the restaraunt) 1978 Summit St. in Columbus.  We felt it a bit
hypocritical at this time to commercially release a CD that has a bit of an
anti-commercial lyrical bent.  Of course, we stand behind Drop as the best
Quarkspace release yet.

    We encourage everyone to try and make it out for these last shows,
including our performance at Strange Daze 2001, October 26 and 27 in
Cleveland at the Beechland and with Harvey Bainbridge and Mr. Quimby's Beard
at Little Brothers in Columbus on Sunday October 21st.   Once again, the
dates of the farewell tour.

Thursday October 11, Swindlefish, 24 1/2 E State St, Athens, OH 45701-2540.

Sunday October 21, Little Brothers, Columbus OH with Harvey Bainbridge, Mr.
Quimby's Beard and the Solar Fire Lightshow.

Friday October 26 and Saturday October 27, Beechland Ballroom, Cleveland OH
Strange Daze 2001 with Harvey Bainbridge, Mr. Quimby's Beard, Nik Turner,
Alien Planetscapes, Nucleon, Drumplay and many, many more quality spacerock
bands and the Solar Fire Lightshow doing lights.  We play Saturday evening.

Saturday November 17th,  Ruby Tuesday, 1978 Summit St. Columbus OH.  The
final show.  We hope to play for about 4 hours with special suprises.  As
stated above, we also hope to have free copies of Drop (no jewel case or
cover, sorry!) at this show.

  Don't worry.  We aren't breaking up.  The CD/comic book project with Matt
Howarth is moving forward (any interested labels out there??), the
spacefolds series is definitely continuing and may see an increase in the
speed of releases, as we plan to concentrate on improvisation and
development of those improvisations when we do get together.  We still are
planning the remix project and the second collection of Live Orion material.
Expect some of the Quarkspace side projects to have more activity...
(www.mp3.com/churchofhed).  Obviously, Eternity's Jest Records, continues
on, ready to release music and take your order.

Thanks for the continued support.  Hope to see you at these last shows.
Keep a look out at www.quarkspace.com for the upcoming free release of Drop.

Love,

Quarkspace
