St. Pete’s Biggest DIY Venue Hosts Grassroots Legend

Electrician w/ Permanent Makeup, Y Los Dos Pistoles, Ten Acres, Bootlicker

Tuesday, December 11^th, 8pm

The Venture Compound, 2621 Fairfield Avenue South, St. Petersburg, FL

Oakland, CA’s Neil Campau, also known as Electrician, writes songs about social war and relationships.  His electro-folk sound has been compared to Bill Callahan, Will Oldham, and Phil Elverum.  He was previously part of the anarchist-folk duo World History . . . but he is probably best known as the founder of DoDIY.org. 

We here at Venture don’t have wealthy patrons – we don’t have much of anything but passion.  So we owe a lot to Neil Campau and people like him, and we’re proud to welcome him to our home, be it ever so humble.

Permanent Makeup (punk from Tampa) http://permanentmakeup.bandcamp.com/
Electrician (electro folk from Oakland, CA) http://electricianmusic.bandcamp.com/

Ten Acres (post folk indie by John Allen from Set and Setting) http://tenacres.bandcamp.com/
