Mark Lord (aka C.F.) performance at Thanky
















Mark Lord (aka C.F.) makes music.

On July 1st, Thanky hosted a show with Mark Lord (aka C.F.), Morgan Egg, Across and Narhwalz. Mark Lord is C.F.'s new solo project. C.F. is an accomplished musician and visual artist. On the sonic front, he has self-released a number of cassettes and cd-rs under the moniker Kites. Night People and Load also have released his recordings. He is also currently collaborating with Sakiko Mori in a duo called Daily Life.  On the visual front, C.F. has shown his art at the New Image Art Gallery, the Lucerne Art Museum, Giant Robot, Mountainfold Gallery, and the Hope Gallery (and he had a piece or two in a group show at The Bridge PAI in Charlottesville last October). He is included in Kramer’s Ergot 7 and in The Best American Comics. He also helped create the newsprint zine Paper Rodeo which included a lot of our favorite artists (like Ron Rege Jr!). Anyway, C.F.'s newest solo music project is really good, kind of spacey and dreamy.

Morgan Egg is from Providence and happens to be the same person who runs Rare Youth Records. We don't know much about him, but we really liked his set. 

Friends and evicted residents of the Church of Crystal Light Narwhalz and Across opened.
