ISSUE & Representing NYC host an evening of innovative performance by New Yorkers ages 5 to 75. Students hailing from Bedstuy, Bushwick, Corona, and Elmhurst, present performance works developed at the Arts and Literacy after school program, joined by Charles Gayle, Mantra Percussion, Nuit Blanche, and ESP TV.

Acid Birds includes members from Peeesseye and Gold Sparkle Band, and released their self-titled LP in 2009 (QBICO). Andrew Barker formed the trio to perform his composition (also titled “Acid Birds”) and in early 2009 the band gave the piece’s second performance at ISSUE Project Room.
