The basement of (Pittsburgh's) the Mattress Factory has seen some
interesting things throughout the museum's 32 year history. But for
two nights this summer, the lower level of the Mattress Factory will
be transformed into an intimate concert space for the performance
debut of Denver Broncos UK.

Denver Broncos UK features Munly Munly, Slim Cessna, and Lord Dwight
Pentacost, three musicians who have been working together for more
than a decade as one half of Slim Cessna's Auto Club (Alternative
Tentacles). Though the music itself may be unclassifiable, the band's
songs are best described as dynamic, suspenseful, painful and
beautiful. The sparse arrangements feature an array of instruments put
to exotic use; guitar, autoharp, accordion, bowed banjo, and numerous
percussive instruments; a landscape inhabited by haunted vocal
harmonies. The sum of all parts reveals itself as a darkly-lit
celebration of traditional American music, forged into a surprising
new form.

Both Mattress Factory performances will feature set design and video
projections by Owen Smith, and will be documented for future release
by the band.

Due to limited seating, two concerts will take place on Friday, July
31 and Saturday, August 1, respectively.

Tickets are available in advance ($15) and a limited number will be
made available at the door ($20), which opens at 9:00 PM.
