Since 2003, Anal Pudding has been the un-bleachable skid mark in the underpants of Western New York’s tighty-whitey music scene. With their potty-mouth sensibilities, P-Funk stage presence, and sleazy intelligence, Anal Pudding has rocked the living crap out of dozens of the Buffalo region’s hottest live music venues including The Continental, The Showplace Theatre, Mohawk Place, Club Diablo, Town Ballroom, Tudor Lounge, Merlin’s, and the Irish Classical Theatre. Outside of Buffalo, they have been seen in Ann Arbor, MI and NYC’s CBGB’s Lounge. Anal Pudding is also an annual favorite at such regional festivals as Robby Takac’s Music Is Art Festival (2003-2006), the Rhubarb Family Picnic (2004, 2005, 2006), and the Cutting Music Festival (2004, 2005). They have opened for several national acts, including Gogol Bordello, The Human Marvels (featuring Jim Rose Sideshow alumnus The Enigma) and Bozo Porno Circus, and enjoy consistent and popular rotation on Buffalo’s 91.3 WBNY FM.
What makes this bastard child of Frank Zappa and Mr. Hankey so popular? Aside from a stage performance that includes costumes, dancers, and props (including a giant three foot tall smoking commode), Anal Pudding also delivers a unique, catchy sound that makes you want to dance, laugh, think, and even gag a little all at once. Many people love Anal Pudding’s brand of Funk Punk Potty Rock, many more call it “too sick for human consumption,” but one thing is certain – nobody can ignore it. Anal Pudding invades the senses like a first-floor fart on an elevator to the moon.

Christine “Sixteen” Rigby is a visual artist from Montreal. Chris works mainly in acrylic but often experiments in mixed media, (you never know what she might toss in the mix).
In the earlier days Chris was obsessed with Pin-ups, and drawing people with exagerated body parts. People with giraffe like necks, enourmous ears etc.
Later on, Chris was inspired by working at Blizzarts (were she was for almost a decade), You can feel the people the music, the color and late nights of that scene in her work.
She loves people of all kinds, but I remember Christine saying she would never ever ever do portraits, and true to her rebellious nature, even with herself, portraits are pretty much all she paints now.
Christine is all about close cropping and negative space. She appreciates simplicity and has an interesting take on color.

Triple laureate in the Ma Première Place des Arts contest in 1999, he has accumulated experiences on stage for more than 15 years, singing and playing percussion in styles ranging from progressive rock to traditional Québécoise and Celtic, passing through (more “currentâ€) chanson française. He dreams of a « Québecadie » or an « Acadibec », a found francophonie, from Louisianna to Cape Breton. The craftsman advances at his rhythm and hopes to find a team that will shoulder him while respecting his step.

Animateur à la radio communautaire CIBL Radio-Montréal pendant plus de dix ans, il fait partie des chansonniers de l’époque glorieuse du Vieux-Montréal. Il a fait plusieurs fois le tour du Québec en spectacle et est devenu au fil du temps un chanteur engagé, qui dénonce les injustices sociales et poursuit sa quête de liberté. Ses chansons mordent dans la vie et il ne laisse personne indifférent. Un homme de parole…

This show is a “greatest hits” in a way-what I feel is the cream of the crop in the numerous styles of painting I work in, most notably abstract and something I like to call “Collage painting”.
