The Saturday Physics Series presents, "The Proton as a Hologram: String Theory, Higher Dimensions and a New Kind of Matter by Professor Oliver DeWolfe. Scientists smashing heavy atomic nuclei together have created a new form of matter, the quark-gluon plasma. Professor Oliver DeWolfe will explain how attempts to explain this super-hot fluid's properties have opened up a surprising experimental window to string theory, higher dimensions, and the mysterious idea that gravity is secretly less than what it seems the holographic principle.

“Like a creepy acid pop rock horror movie” is how Karys, the drummer for Starlight Girls, describes their sound. The Brooklyn band just finished up a 5-song EP due out next year. She adds “girl pop, surf rock… garage rock, cult, psychedelic” to the endless list of possible genres.

Starlight Girls play songs that sound straight off soundtracks of ‘60s B-movies and art films. Think Jean Luc-Godard or Antonioni’s Blow Up. Or the kind of songs Soledad Miranda would dance around to in a Jesus Franco flick. Some more musical references: French pop songs by France Gall or Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, the dark surf instrumental “Munsters” theme song by Jack Marshall, fuzzed-out garage rock like The Seeds or The Music Machine’s “Trouble,” and even Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald. Somehow, in five songs on one EP, The Starlight Girls conjure up all this and more.

Starting as an outlet for singer/keyboardist/flautist (yep, they’ve got a flute), Christina, the band was originally called Christina B. “It started out as Christina B because we worked on her songs, but we always had the goal in mind of making it more of a collaborative process, so that’s slowly manifesting,” says Karys.

Starlight Girls also happens to be the name of the orphan house on Jem and The Holograms. Jem and her band perform to raise money to support the girls living in the Starlight house. But the Starlight Girls that count on the L train to get to practice don’t count on Jem for their rent, instead working whatever part-time jobs they can find, buying dinner with food stamps, producing records – and, if you’re bassist Mark, working “a seasonal gig on the Van Leeuwen ice cream truck,” topping off cones.

“It came to me in a dream,” says Christina of the band’s name, instead of the obvious reference. “Metalligator,” Christina jokes, was another idea for a name, which frankly sounds awesome.

The band is a four-piece, and despite the name, are only half girls. Christina (Vocals/Keyboards/Flute), Shaw (Guitar), Karys (Drums/Vocals) and Mark (Bass) make up the band. Their practice space off the Morgan L also doubles as a performance space, and as guitarist Shaw’s living space (the building, 13 Thames, has its own Facebook page). The band also does remixes of other band’s songs, using Starlight Girls drum tracks or bass lines to give the songs a new feel. They’ve recently remixed Twin Sister’s “All Around And Away We Go” and Deidre’s “Classic Girl.”

Not long ago, Starlight Girls were the center of attention in an April Fool’s prank that featured their song “Gossip” being covered by Joanna Newsom. It turned out not to be Joanna Newsom, but a convincing imitation. The prank was set off by an email sent to faronheit.com, from an email address using the name of Newsom’s PR person. To this day, Starlight Girls have no idea who was behind it, but say they’re flattered their song was used.

In addition to playing music, doing remixes and hosting shows in their practice space, drummer Karys and guitarist Shaw put out a monthly online mixtape at TheLailingMist.com, featuring ten songs you can either download or stream. The songs range from local bands, like Teen Girl Scientist Monthly, to pop acts – an occasional Britney song thrown in for good measure.

Starlight Girls sound like they “may or may not be moving to San Francisco,” according to Shaw, but fortunately for Brooklyn, the band is staying right here in Bushwick. Or Beachwick, a term the band uses to describe their sound, likely because of their surf influences.

Or maybe there’s an entirely different reason for the “Beachwick” moniker. “Whenever I bust out the flute, everyone looks at me like I’m a dolphin or something,” says Christina, laughing.

Orchards began formation in May of 2011 in Santa Cruz, California when Tina Picz-Devoe (backing vocalist in local band "Tether Horse" & formerly front-woman for Boston bands: Leave the Body, Stillbreather, & My Cupcake) and Matt Aldous (formerly in a Maryland Bluegrass band & graduate of Art Institute of Boston's
Sound Engineering program) first met & found out that in 2005 they lived on the same street in Boston…small world. They began writing the initial songs and with the help of animal rescuer Eva Echenique & film-maker Joe Perrin, continue to write, develop and add new players.
