Hi!
On April 17, elements of the Fanoplane improvisational ensemble (https://www.tedzook.com/fanoplane/) will be joining elements of Insect Factory (https://www.instagram.com/insectfactorysounds) at Alexandria's Galactic Panther gallery (https://www.galacticpanther.com/our-events).

From the event's press release:
*************************************
Get ready for a wild mix of vibes and sounds with Blood Family Reunion, IFF , and PsychoPomP all in one spot!
Four boundary-pushing bands come together for a night of immersive sound—spanning shoegaze, dream pop, drone, ambient, and hardcore.
Headlining the evening, Blood Family Reunion brings lush, atmospheric shoegaze inspired by the swirling textures of bands like My Bloody Valentine, Hum, and Cocteau Twins. The Washington, DC dream-pop quartet crafts reverb-drenched guitars, hazy melodies, and emotional depth, showcased on their debut album Lucky Mutation.

IFF (an Insect Factory and Fanoplane collaboration) delivers experimental drone and ambient compositions that blur the line between noise and meditation, building expansive sonic environments that slowly evolve and envelop the room.

Traveling from Portland, Oregon, Shifting Harbor creates beautiful, cinematic soundscapes—layering ambient textures and dreamlike tones into music that feels both vast and intimate.

Rounding out the lineup, PsychoPomp brings raw, high-energy hardcore from Philadelphia—delivering a sharp contrast with intensity, grit, and explosive live presence.
Four distinct sounds. One unforgettable night of heavy atmosphere, immersive textures, and powerful live performance.

Be sure to bring earplugs — although Fanoplane isn't particularly loud, I can't speak for the other groups . . .
