Lys Guillorn & the Void Kittens, Ken Cormier at Best Video

Lys Guillorn & the Void Kittens share the ill with singer-songwriter Ken Cormier at Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Sat., June 28. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10.

Lys Guillorn is a genre-bending singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Connecticut, dipping one boot in twangy indie folk, and the other in psych rock. Live, Guillorn is joined by The Void Kittens--Peter Riccio (drums) from The Sawtelles and NHIC, and Eric Bloomquist (bass) of Chica Non Grata and Bronson Rock.

Guillorn’s self-titled first record, released in 2003, earned some indie press and radio airplay due to its originality as well as guest turns from members of the Feelies, Luna, and Voidoids. Since then, Guillorn has remained a steadfast member of the Connecticut music scene, printing photos by day and playing shows by night with both local and national artists. They have two full-length studio records of originals, and a couple of EPs and singles on their own label, Little Cowgirl Records. Guillorn's most recent release is a newly remastered version of Wayward Children, which features demos and tracks from compilations put out by other labels. They are currently working on their next full-length record.

Ken Cormier is a fiction writer, performance poet, independent radio producer, and musician. He's published two books of poems and stories, and he has released five collections of original music. Ken directs the Individualized Major Program at the University of Connecticut and he hosts a weekly radio show called “The Backyard: CT Indie, Past & Present” on WHUS 91.7FM.
