Since 1994 Endif has played close t live shows with a diverse roster of artists, tracks have been featured on numerous compilations, remixes published on close to a dozen albums. 2005 saw a split EP with Caustic, and Crunch Pod released Endif's first full length CD 'Meta' in 2006. www.myspace.com/endif C/A/T (CrunchPod - CA) [pronounced "cat"] started out as a solo, audio experiment by Crunch Pod label founder Ben Arp. After several CD-R only releases, C/A/T introduced itself with the "Worldwide Totalitarian Control" CD-EP. The "WTC" EP and the following album "The Prisoner" were both tied heavily to political commentary and still maintained many of the more experimental aspects of C/A/T's earlier days. C/A/T's next offering was 2005's "The Rogue Pair". It was at this time, Arp added band member Kat to the project for additional live support. The more accessible rhythmic noise sound ushered in with "The Rogue Pair" opened the door for C/A/T to play live more often and at higher profile events and clubs. Not wanting to drop completely off the radar until a new album was ready, C/A/T released the "ATF" EP in on June 6th, 2006. "ATF" featured two of C/A/T's most popular tracks, 'Smashed' and '(We Make) Music To Piss You Off' and is limited to 666 copies making it one of the more sought after releases in the C/A/T discography. The post-"ATF" era of C/A/T featured a lot of line-up changes and sporadic live shows [playing such events as the 2006 edition of the Reverence Festival in Madison, Wisconsin and C.O.M.A. 4 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada]. Arp finally finished an album called "Point Of No Return" which was released in June of 2007. "Point Of No Return" featured more structured song-writing and the project's first attempt at adding vocals and lyrics to the tracks. Arp is currently in the studio working on C/A/T's 3rd full length album, "51X", which has a projected release date of May 2008. www.crunchpod.com/ DJ Coldheart (Isolation - SEA) Since 2003, DJ Coldheart has been turning black the grey skies of Seattle, and quickly gained a reputation with his knowledge and love of the music, and his instinct and ability to keep nights entertaining and intriguing at the same time.

Pure Cirkus was born in 2003 as a Seattle-based body art theatre group called P.U.R.E. (People Undergoing Real Experiences). For two years the group performed only within the small community of body modification and suspension, keeping to nightclubs and private events. In the summer of 2005, as they began combining both circus talents and body modification, the group realized that they had something far larger then they had ever imagined. On Oct 28th 2005, almost overnight, the group called P.U.R.E was transformed into PURE Cirkus and performed for the first time under their new name. By pulling together talented performers from all over the country they push the limits of the human mind and body by combining circus performance with Tribal theatre. They have embraced all forms of entertainers such as jugglers, clowns, sideshow freaks, fire, suspension and piercing enthusiasts, dancers, acrobats, aerialists, musicians and other circus and cabaret artists that have come together to build what will be a lasting circus that will entertain people for generations. www.purecirkus.com/ AION Costume Ball www.infiniteconnections.org/Aion123107 @ Capitol Hill Arts Center 1621 12th Ave Seattle, WA 98122 www.capitolhillarts.com Buy your tickets now, $30 presale.
