more info on little wings:
little wings is the band name under which mysterious artist/poet/dancer/performer KYLE FIELD (aka Uncle Kritz, Dr Krunch, Kaisle Feeled etc) plays and records. He is often considered as either "a father/uncle/cousin-figure", "a founding/influential member of" or "a deep influence on" various separate-but-related micro-cultures of contemporary underground avant-folk/punk music, including the K Records/Marriage/States Rights northwest 'scene', The 'New Energy/Nu Energee Movement', the 'Freaky-Folky' trend of 2002-2006, etc etc.....
Little Wings was even the focus of a 2004 amateur documentary entitled WISE OLD LITTLE BOY, more info on which can be found HERE...

Field is also an extremely accomplished visual artist, with gallery representation across the globe. many many images of his art can be found at his art siteKYLEDRAWS.COM

Kyle is one of my deepest, oldest homies. We've played a lot of music together over the years and its always a complete delight and pleasure when he graces us with his presence up here in the Northwest. He is a very funny, bright, talented, brilliant light of a man, and none who attend this special event will leave disappointed. So please come out!
