So as many of you are aware.. Last Saturday nite was the opening for my newest aRt exhibit entitled: Gar Bailey’s - “Neo-Dada, Maximalism in 2008″

This event was held at the Volusia county, omni-venue known as Caffe da Vinci aka the Tongue and Groove Gallery. And though there were definately a few missing faces of some of my friends and associates, whom I thought eYe may see at this most illmatic of occasions. (You know who you are.) The overall feeling at the end of the night, was one of success, accomplishment, comradery, and of a wonderful occasion.
*There were any where from about 75 - 120 people milling about through out the evening. Many of them, some of my favorite people on Earth.
*I am already receiving offers from people & collectors looking to purchase some of my w3rk. Which feels just swell as hell.
*Also, all the muscial performances on Saturday evening, including my own, were fantabulous shooting stars of the Summer night. A_Scissors was on point as ever. Bent Lee, Michael McNabb, and many other from the Four4ths vinyl crew repreZented hardcore for yer boy, and really helped push the whole celebration to the next the level.

I would like to take this time and space to specifically thank a few individuals for their efforts, support, and/or their friendship:

-> First off, I have to thank my wife, MinkinAce for her unwaivering support of everything that I have choose to explore & express in last 20 sum odd years. Without her eternal love, patience, and omni-support.. -the Gar Bailey that many of you know and love, simply would not exist. Neither would much of my w3rk.
*Dana - you are my heaRt giRl. You’re the softest thing I have ever touched. I will see you in the hallway baby.

-> Big Ups to the Caffe daVinci’s & Tongue n’ Groove staff.
This starts with El Capitaun: Mr. Rusty Hamil - Thank you for believing in me and my w3rk all these years. Even when not everyone else did or does. You’ve always given me a place to shine homeboy. I won’t soon forget it. (Import more beavers!)
I’d also like to give thanx to the other big dogs at the venue. Joe, Mark, and Joshua.. Keep it bangin’ guys, and I will too.

->And a big batch of Luv goes out to Sooz White. A special artist and woman who currently books the visual aRt at the Tongue and Groove gallery. Thank you Sooz, for giving me a bit of extra space to flap my wings and to do my thang. I really appreciate your open-mindedness and trust. An increasing rarity in the aRt community. Also, thank you for the help with my tags, and all the wonderfully, tasty appetizers you and your hubby Russ brought out for the opening. The salsa was some of the best I have ever tasted.

->I also would be remiss to not mention the wonderful tenders of the bar who help keep all of our perverbial gears greased. Randy and Caitlin.. you were fabulous. Stellar service. Also a hearty Big Ups nod to all the bartenders of the Caffe’s past. Especially Miss SarahRose.. -the OG of daVinci’s bartending, and a wonderful friend. Luv you lotz giRl.

-> Lastly but not leastly, a sincere thank you to all my friends and family who made it out to show me some love. It surely would be lonely here on EarF without all of you:

To my sister and one of my best friends: Rebecca & her man Mario, My cousins: Justin & John Ahnen, My step-bro: Jesse Bassett and his lovely lady Joyce, Sandra, Crystal, Debbie Perry, Melissa Duvelius, Todd Wallin, Denise, Brian Cunningham, Cate (Who came all the way from Pennsylvania), Eric & Amy Marden, Ian Monroe, Lee Miller, Lesley, Mikey Mell, Jay Byorne, Gil, Todd and Katie, Michael McNabb & Mary, Ton-E & Christiana, Tyler, Heather & Danny, Steph & Mike, Chris, Mia and to everyone else who was there on Saturday. -In physicality or in spirit. I sincerely appreciate all the love and support. -It means the w3rld 2 me, and helps fuel that intangible fire.

Yours truly - Matthew Gar Bailey aka alGARhythm

PS - Photos and Video from the event will be up real soon! I promise. For those of you who may have taken some photos and Video yourself.. please don’t hesitate to share that content with us.

PSS - For those of you who missed the opening and are perhaps looking for a small bit of redemption. The show will be up till mid-July, so feel free to head up there any time and pick you out a piece of gARtw3rk to purchase. -For those low on dough.. There are 11 pieces priced from 40 - 95 dollars. -Uh!

Embedded below this message are 2 of my favorite clips from my recent daVinci’s performance as a part of the event:
Avant GARism #5.

Videos of the show:
alGARhythm - Live at Avant GARism #5 (entire set)

Unfortunately, this will most likely be the last Avant GARism occasion held in downtown Deland at Caffe daVinci. A sincere thank you goes out to caffe daVincis for giving this event a chance, and perhaps even greater than that.. a solid footing to branch out from in the future. And though the support that we did receive from patrans over the past 6 months was decent. This past event being exceptionally sweet, with almost every seat in the courtyard filled. *In the bitter end.. it was not quite enough support to garner further Avant GARism events being held in Deland. I would definately like to thank all the special artists that came out and played their heARTs out for the all the wonderful folks who came out to hear and see these recepticals of transecendance. We did take a good shot at bringing the underground to Deland.. too bad that perhaps deland wasn’t quite ready for it yet.

So it is quite fitting that we went out with such a bang on May 3rd, 2008. Nathan Wolek, then Benny Loco, followed by myself: alGARhythm brought honest, muzikal heat in each of our performances of our own respective, electronic sub-genres. I am also stoked that the majority of this was caught on video!! (Look for some Nathan Wolek & Benny Loco footage in the near future.) Big big thanx to Mr. A_Scissors Cunningham and Sir Drone Operator for helping me out with the video stuff, relocating gear, friendship in general, and for putting up with my occasional, grumpy, anxiety fits. You guys rock it hard nails sonz. So without further delinquince, enjoy the stellar footage of my performance below.

Always - alGARhythm BaiLey

Come see my alGARhythm musical projekt at: Back Booth
On: January 22nd, 2008 at 9PM.

Tis all occurring in the uber urban zone of downtown Orlandah, Flowerida. Where all the monumental erections are aimed toward the sky.

*There are also 3 other amazing acts on this bill. 2 of which are from out of state and on a nation wide tour. Links to web-pages n’ such are housed below. I also gathered up some imagery for added ocular enticement. Come out n’ hear what alGARhythm sounds like through some serious PA amplitude/engineered watt-age. IE.. BackBooth has a killer sound sYstem and I have ridiculous gear with vacuum tubes. Mine eYes have magical fingertips.

Here’s yer bill:
LaromLab - Kentucky? - (Mushpot Records)
