Myat Moondog Haggart benefit
7PM sharp/ $20 donation entry fee

May 18th 2008, at St. Mark's Church in New York City, marks an evening where decades of experimental performers from around the world will gather to buoy the spirits of their friend, 2-year-old Myat Moondog Haggart.

Confirmed acts include Captain Sons and Daughters (artist Kara Bohnenstiel and Drew McDowall of Coil), Vito Acconci (delivering a 'textual architecture' oration), Scott Haggart and Lary Seven performing DISKONO 017 (announcing the rebirth and continuation of legendary Scottish Dada-anarcho record label DISKONO), David Grubbs (Squirrel Bait, Gastr Del Sol, myriad solo projects collaborations and critical works), Backworld (World Serpent, Current 93), Little Annie (CRASS, Coil, go-to chanteuse for 30 years plus) and Paul Wallfisch (from BOTANICA), and DJs J.G. Thirlwell (Foetus, Steroid Maximus, Manorexia) and Fabio Roberti (WFMU). Melissa Rocha will present a puppet-filled animated short. Secret Project Robot projections.

This bill forms a roster of incessant voyagers, passionate collaborators, true anarchists, and conscientious scholars. It is a festival-quality roster, and a rich, beautiful roster: please graze the Internet for a moment to see how deep these artists' creative roots run.

A door raffle and silent auction will take place on the sidelines: donations thus far include a package of Coil, JaDa, A ROOM FOREVER and other record rarities, Vito Acconci artwork, Michel Gondry drawing, Terry Richardson photography, Sebastian Mlynarski photography, Todd Fisher photography, Mae Fatto photography, Rob Hann photography, Robert Munn 3-D image, Little Annie painting, Andrea Aimi painting, Shannon Lucy print, Dawn Breeze painting, Patricia Iglesias painting, Cameron Michel collage, Arik Roper silkscreen print, Raul de Nieves sculpture, Micki Pellerano drawing, Nanette Lepore clothing, Other Music voucher, Beacon’s Closet gift certificate, Bumble + Bumble haircuts, Vashti Windish (Live with Animals) chocolates and many more.

Myat Moondog Haggart is a hilarious, pugnacious, beautiful and beloved child beset by health problems relating to his brain that are proving very difficult to diagnose. This event exists as a party for him as he begins what may be a difficult journey to health, and as an immeasurably helpful boost as his medical bills continue to mount. This is an event for punks, nerds, parents, perverts, students, children, priests, pagans, ravers: an event for everyone.
