Taking this summer to a deep moment of tribal bling and dance and rhythm celebrations, join us on Friday the 13th @ CoSM for a very special event.

Sera, beautiful Sera and Solstice gracing the Cosmosis floor with her bellydance pops and locks and undulations.
More stunning bellydance acts to follow...after all, this is a tribal celebration.

Violinist Hannah Thiem with Copal, Boston-based electronic ambient group combines traditional sounds with electronic beats and soundscapes of the modern age.

Nyxyss, a collaboration of Haj and Hannah, and Mikio with special guests, bring the evening to a peak with lush and compelling sounds, an expansive sense of journey and and an eye to the dancefloor.

Our DJs and musicians will guide us on a journey into the mysteries, in one of the most amazing venues in New York City.

If you didn't know, The Chapel of Sacred Mirrors is the home of infamous paintings by artist Alex Gray. This is an opportunity to witness what others travel 1000s of miles to see in person...a fusion of body, mind, and spirit depicted in elegant detail in large figurative paintings.

As performers in this enlightened space, we wish to give honor to these works, and further inspiration to all participants.

Jupiter One's Boston CD Release Party!


this Sunday, October 21
O'Brien's Pub
5 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA
21+, $8
doors @ 7:30pm
Jupiter One (NYC) headlining + Copal
+ the Cyanide Valentine + Jennifer Greer

We're so excited about this evening of music and know you'll be dancing all night to
the soulful indie pop feel of Jennifer Greer (8p),
swaying to the electroacoustic sounds of the Cyanide Valentine (9p)
ecstatically moving to the space-age orchestral rock and dynamic stage presence of
Jupiter One (10p)
and jumping on a magick carpet ride with Copal (11p) crossing borders and land monuments


I first saw Jupiter One perform at the Lizard Lounge...was super entertained by their infectious music that makes
you want to shake it...we're glad to bring them back to Boston for their CD Release!


...and a chance to check out Jupiter One's self-titled debut album
Jupiter One's self-titled debut album, sequenced by Cordless founder and music legend
Jac Holzman, is scheduled for release in September 2007. "When the hairs on the back of my neck stand
up with the excitement of discovery I pay close attention. And stand they did for Jupiter One's first single,
'Countdown,' an uncommonly fresh and gripping track," Holzman raved. "Then my silent prayer, 'I hope the
album is as good.' Every time I listen to Jupiter One's debut album it is with joyous anticipation and delight
in knowing that others will soon share that joy."

See you on the dance floor!
Hannah
