The Cartridge Family

The Cartridge Family (TCF) isn’t taking any cues from The Beatles, you can’t hear a hint of Brian Wilson or Bob Dylan - though not confirmed, they’ve probably pissed on a few of those records amidst one of their many drunken shows. Not that founding member and keyboardist Cale Sauter, 27, and his associates don’t appreciate good music. In fact, practically every member is in a handful of other bands that cover a broad range of genres and styles.

If my art has a theme, it is this: I try to articulate the points of intersection between humans and the creatures and objects that surround them. We like to impose artificial distinctions between human, animal, vegetable and object; the reality is much more complex and, to me, highly intriguing.

TV & Video

Spazz TV»

Life in the non-stop rat race that is Ovid, Michigan sometimes has its benefits - Spazz TV being one of them. Spazz TV is a sketch comedy show spawned out of the brains of Monty Python’s bastard children, Tony Vacek and Andy Ginther. High on Christopher Guest movies, Tim and Eric, and Saturday Night Live reruns, the group have independently taped and recorded hours of clever and quirky comedy.
