Biography
Internationally renowned cult performance artist, Andre Stitt first met a teenaged Fritz Welch, during a performance at the Commerce Street Artist's Warehouse in Houston, Texas in 1989. They kept in communication with each other over the years and when Welch, now a practicing sonic/visual artist, was curating Acute Zonal Occult Outer, a series of performances relating to drawing installation at The Drawing Center, NYC in 2006 he invited Stitt to create a piece. A couple years later Stitt invited Welch to collaborate in the durational painting project SHIFTwork at The Lab Gallery in NYC. Welch had moved away from NYC the year before and this was the perfect opportunity to arrange a musical mash- up between Stitt and Brothers Peeesseye (Welch on drums & vocals and Chris Forsyth on electric guitar, 2/3 of Peeesseye). This is the audio document of the gig recorded on April 11 2009 at ParisLondonWestNile in Brooklyn NY.
