As you may have caught wind, tonight Holocene is hosting a roster of entertainment curated by buzzy Portland dance troupe Woolly Mammoth Comes to Dinner, a mélange of dance, music and comedy featuring Linda Austin, Allie Hankins, Why I Must Be Careful, Pool of Winds, Comedy is Ok, Rob Walmart, and E*Rock wearing his DJ hat. But the headlining act causing hearts to flutter is MGM Grand (Modern Garage Movement), a California based dance collective. Earlier this year, the NYT drooled that "MGM Grand is coolness incarnate. The name, Modern Garage Movement, comes from its 2005 beginnings in a garage in San Francisco. Following a rock-band model, the group has kept itself on the road, performing in nontraditional spaces." Video evidence of their work has proven difficult to track down on the web, but appealing photos of their performances abound. The Holocene show is a mere $5 and starts at 8:30, but if you can't catch it there, they'll also be at PNCA tomorrow through the 6th.
