Check out the article in the Sept 16, 2005 Washington Post's Weekend section on DC's experimental music scene, including El Possible! It's a great overview!


From the Washington City Paper:

"The monthly Electric Possible gathering is all about words that end in -al--particularly 'experimental,' 'accidental,' 'improvisational,' and 'irrational'...The noise is a community thing, made by a network of artists who thrive on the freedom to explore emotional spontaneity, social rebellion, and psychedelic escapism, without the hippie aftertaste." --Joe Warminsky, Washington City Paper (Feb 4, 2005 "City Lights")
