Here's the announcement of a "New Music Bake Sale" in Brooklyn on April 17th (via Interchanging Idioms):
Co-organizer
Mellissa Hughes explains, “The New Music Bake Sale takes its
inspiration from the days when every Rice Krispie treat sold in the
high school cafeteria brought you one step closer to those über sexy
marching band uniforms. We also recognize that in times like the
present, profits are measured not only in monetary terms, but in the
continual building of community. That is the spirit in which we seek to
bring together what is an incredibly diverse new music culture in this
city – from classical chamber ensemble to rock band.”
Among the works presented is Lainie Fefferman's Tongue of Thorns (mp3 here). It's as intense as the title suggests, in a New York electric guitar-ish kind of way.
