Heliotrope 8 starts tonight at its new home at the Loring Theater and while it contains many of our favorites (Mother Of Fire, Daughters Of The Sun, Thunderbolt Pagoda, Take Acre) there’s plenty of mysteries on the list. To help you decide what you should see (if you choose not to watch it all), here’s 5 additional picks for acts you’ll definitely not want to miss:
-Josh
Lighted
Why They Matter: A newish eletronic synth three piece made up of scene veterns. They dropped the brooding tape Kingdom a little while back and are following up with their new tape Queendom that will be for sale for the first time this weekend. Their recorded material is good, but their spaced out grooves hit the next level in the live setting.
When They Play: Friday at 10:15

Falcon Arrow
Why They Matter: Powerful instrumental duo who will be releasing their debut record Axehandle Hound shorlty, which should be bringing the group some much desereved attention.
When They Play: Thursday at 10:15

Votel
Why They Matter: Now is as good of time as ever to form an opinion on this fairly new band, who recently changed their name from H.U.N.X to Votel. Featuring Maggie Morrison (Digitata, Lookbook) on vocals and a who’s who of electronic knob twisters creating sonic fury behind her, they are bound to make some waves.
When They Play: Saturday at 10:15
Fortified Five/Hastings 3000
Why They Matter: Prog weirdos featuring members of Knife World, they will bring face melting guitar work to the stage on the first night, followed directly by one man band Hastings 3000, who may bring the most straighforward rock of the whole weekend.
When They Play: Thursdayat 8:15/9:00
Hastings 3000
Pentacene
Why They Matter: One great thing about this event is there are always new bands that you haven’t heard who you can check out. This is again the case this year, with Pentacene being one of those bands. All I know is that it is Andrew Broder and Tim Glenn, but any inclination to what they will sound like will be left for those When They Play: Saturday at 6:30

Remains of girl, 2, found in storage unit: Foul play is not ruled out in death of child with reddish-brown hair; police seek ID.
AZ Daily Star February 20, 2007 Feb. 20–By Dale Quinn Police Monday were searching for clues to explain how the remains of a toddler ended up a plastic tub in a North Side storage unit. Investigators made the grim discovery Sunday after a manager at the business told police a foul odor was coming from a unit being cleared out because the renter had not made payments since the end of 2006. The possibility the unidentified 2-year-old girl was slain has not been ruled out, said Tucson Police Department Assistant Chief Roberto Villasenor. Few details were released Monday.
Police said the girl appeared to be about 3 feet tall with reddish-brown hair, Villasenor said. He would not say how long the girl might have been in the storage unit. “The body of the girl was pretty well preserved considering the circumstances,” he said. Officers responded to a suspicious activity call about 1:30 p.m. Sunday at a U-Store-It near the corner of East Prince Road and North First Avenue. The manager at the business had found a plastic tub with a foul odor inside a storage unit and contacted the Police Department, Villasenor said. The child’s remains were found inside the plastic tub. An autopsy was performed, but police would not disclose the cause of death or if the child suffered trauma before dying, citing the ongoing investigation. The results of the autopsy might not be available for six to eight weeks, Villasenor said. The storage unit was rented for a short time in late 2006 until the renter stopped making payments. Since that time the storage company controlled access to the unit, he said. The manager discovered the body when clearing out the unit, Villasenor said. Police have contacted the renter and are pursuing all leads in the case. No arrests have been made or suspects identified. The first step in figuring out what led to the girl’s death is identifying her, Villasenor said. site highlights for brown hair go to site highlights for brown hair
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call 791-4499, Ext. 1238 or 88-CRIME. The manager at the U-Store-It declined to answer questions about the case. Attempts to reach the company’s legal department were not successful Monday afternoon. –Star reporter Nathan Olivarez-Giles contributed to this story.
