entertainm ent at N octurnal, a brand
new theatre, art gallery and all ages
m usic venue located at 1800 E.
Burnside.
A nd, guess w hat, it’s all for a
good cause. Proceeds from the $10
adm ission w ill b enefit Stars in
Progress, a non-profit m entoring
program for young w om en in P ort
land that will em pow er girls to pu r
sue their dream s and show case
their creative talents.
T he evening w ill feature dance,
perform ance art, paintings by David

Tw ist, spoken w ord by m em bers o f
A bstract V isionz, independent film
footage by N im psy and hair sculp
ture by S tar K inks.
A s if that w asn ’t enough reason
to head out, Tracey Harris and Jaime
Lee Christiana will sing gospel jazz,
the V igilantes w ill present their
political hip-hop, Spacefairy will
offer som e freelance trance and
Stickyback V iny 1 creates experimen-
tal electrónica.
Stand out perform ances for the
night will com e from Kid Q uiz and
Portland favorite, M adgesdiq.
Kid Quiz consists of two girls from
Corvallis who play spooky and ethe
real electrónica with beautifully
haunting pianos and w hispering
voices. They create an underwater
fantasy world by weaving soft, sway
ing beats and synthesized bleeps
around strung out guitar licks and
dark, sweet lyrics. Kid Q uiz’s tunes
could be the soundtrack for a space
aged Cinderella as she runs home
from the ball, tattered dress and glass
slipper in hand, fading pianos in the
distance and beating heart in her
chest.
M adgesdiq mixes spiced lyrics
that create a social commentary about
hip-hop’s ills with TV images, aca
demic principles and life observa
tions into entertaining songs deliv
ered with his distinctive monotone.
Like the prophets o f the Old Testa
ment, M adgesdiq said he com es as
an MC to remind his peers and heads
what hip-hop truly is.
N octurnal has a com plete juice
bar upstairs and a w ine and beer
lounge dow nstairs for those o f age.
The m ost starts at 8:30 p.m. For
more information, call 503-239-5900.
