Cameron has pulled selections from his collection that are inspired by or adjacent to music from the films of David Lynch. Expect hauntingly beautiful melodies with dips into surrealism, including everything from Ancient music to Zappa, European experimental theater, local jazz, fusion, neoclassical and a few pop music and classic rock deep cuts that more or less fall in line with a loose Lynchian theme. A selection of music that is a confirmation rather than a denial of the confusing times we are in and perhaps a way to find a bit of solace in the dissonance.

We were all set to host a takeover of the number one cold cuts account in town @coldcuts twin cities, when one half of the two person mortadella obsessive team suffered a great loss. A water main on 50th street burst in the early hours of February 13th and a hundred thousand gallons of water flooded the basement of Terzo, for which she serves as operations director.

The Terzo team has been through it—an impact on stability, income and much uncertainty—this event has undoubtedly been very difficult. Our goal is not only to raise some funds to alleviate the immediate pressures of this disruptive event but to create a space for some fun and hopefully a small respite from the many daunting tasks of these few weeks. So after a change in date and a refocusing of our goal for the takeover, we are excited to invite you to come party with us!

We’ll have plenty of salami, prosciutto, and bresaola (cold cuts), and Libation Project and The Piedmont Guy are very kindly sponsoring by-the-glass wines and amaro. In addition to Cold Cut Twin Cities representation from me (Sarina) and Sophia, Charlie Broder will be joining us in getting plenty of wine in your glasses. 

All salami and Ercole sales are going directly to the GoFundMe that has been set up by the Terzo team to be distributed at their own discretion, as well as 30% of all Small Hours profits. So bring your friends and come hungry and thirsty! 

Full wine and dinner menus will be available.

Our pal Vicious Vicious aka Erik Appelwick is releasing a new record and we’re hosting a listening party to kick it off.

Join us for a first listen to the new Vicious Vicious record, “I Think We’ve Got a Situation.” Erik will take over the turntables from 7-10 and the new record will play right at 8pm. Expect some of his favorite selections from his personal album collection on either side of that. Copies of the limited edition vinyl will be available for the first time as well.

Some more info about the record from the man himself:
Erik Appelwick’s alter ego, Vicious Vicious, is back with their 8th album: I Think We’ve Got a Situation. Inspired by 90’s and 00’s indie pop / rock, the album is replete with bouncy beats and rhythms designed meticulously for shoulders and hips supporting a lyrical narrative of futurism, time travel, lost love. . . and sharks.

Spinning a global mix of soul, boogie, jazz, and improvised music.

Frank Lyon is a multidisciplinary artist living in Los Angeles who loves to play all kinds of records. He is especially interested in advancing the core principles of balearic selecting from their heavenly origins in Ibiza towards everyday experiences in postmodern America and the World. If it sounds heady, it's not; this is about music that touches the heart and tells a bigger and better story when we ignore the surface of genre in favor of the embedded soul's strange and beautiful guiding light.
