Dates: October 7, 8 and 9, 2010
Venue: The Roulette (20 Greene St., NY)

EASY NOT EASY is a three night festival curated by Shinkoyo founders Matt Mehlan & Doron Sadja to help raise money for Roulette as they prepare to move into their new Art Deco concert hall in Downtown Brooklyn.
Using the idea of “Simple Scores” as a starting point, they’ve asked a wide array of some of NYC’s most exciting young artists to compose and perform a series of “simple” new scores as well as some scores by more established artists – including John Zorn, Pauline Oliveros, Robert Ashley (world premiere), Dan Deacon, Brenda Hutchinson, members of Z’s and Extra Life and many many more!

Venue: Terminal 5
Text and photos by Jim Hoey
At Terminal 5 on Sept. 27th, M.I.A., aka Mathangi “Maya” Arulpragasam, came on to the stage draped in dark robes, glasses over her eyes, dancers at her side, namely Cisco and White Boi, and a trio of shuffling burka-clad crew attendants over on the right, like maddened under sharia law, popping off lines from the new album, singing “The Message” before rolling into “Galang”.
“Blaze a blaze (galang a lang a lang lang)
Purple haze (galang a lang a lang lang)
London calling
speak the slang now
boys say wha
come on girls say what, say wha “
