Blevin Blectum (solo)

Kevin Blechdom (solo)

Blevin Blectum and Kevin Blechdom will be playing a solo set each followed by a duo set as Blectum from Blechdom.

Formed in 1998 by Kristin Erickson (Kevin Blechdom) and Bevin Kelley (Blevin Blectum) and disbanded in 2001 they originally met at the Mills College in Oakland, California and initially performed locally, in the San Francisco Bay Area recording their first EP, titled Snauses and Mallards, in March 2000. Their first full length album "The Messy Jesse Fiesta" (that won second prize for Digital Music at Ars Electronica in 2001) was released later that same year. The duo broke up in May 2001, with both artists retaining their noms de plume and continuing work on solo projects but reformed as a duo in 2007.

Their music has been described as exceptionally irreverent and humorous and though experimental in nature, with heavy glitch influences, it is never pretentious and always rhythmic.
