Jay Siegan & Death Guild present NEW MODEL ARMY punk. industrial. 8pm - 2am. $12 advance; $15 door. |
Performing live: With DJs: |
"It's all a very long way from the 1980s rash of post-punk,
proto syndicalist agit-pop, but New Model Army have prevailed.
As dedicated as ever to their craft of melodic rock with
something to say, front man Justin Sullivan has wrapped his
vocal chords around a dystopian wealth of words that invoke
the twisted souls of Nick Cave and Henry Rollins at their
best. The addition of blues guitar master Marshall Gill has
given the band greater musical scope." --Nick Churchill "Fusing hip-hop vocals and rhythms with with majesty of 19th century classical compositions and the furor of post-industrial rock, Stromkern have been carving out a unique sound for over a decade. Initial releases were heavily influenced by the danceable sounds of the European electro scene, but already the influences of Ned's classical training and love of hip-hop and noise were readily apparent." |

.SYSTEM.
Productions presents XANOPTICON industrial. powernoise. breakcore. jungle. hardcore. glitch. 8pm - 2am. $7 advance; $10 door.
|
Performing live: Xanopticon
(Hymen / Peaceoff / Zhark) With DJ
Intoner
(.SYSTEM. / Meat / Death Guild) |
Xanopticon's music is often strange and alienating, with a
speed and complexity matching most IDM but it's sentiment
being closer to dark drum+bass. It has been described as
"waves of breaks: almost calming ambient music built out of
intense rhythm structures." Due to this heaviness, he is
often compared to Venetian Snares, who has an equal ability
for manipulating small snippets of sound. Endif: Experimentation, live performance, technical accumen, and pushing aesthetic boundaries are core values. Emphasis is placed more upon energy, emotion, context and texture than on stale commercial formulas, towering arrangements or catchy pop hooks. |
