Gonna jam for three hours at machines on Sunday. Free gig, very quiet. Manipulating private home recorded tapes whilst jamming improvised noise and ambient lifeless drone.
They're baaaaaack! THE BODY back in Pawtucket for the month of September working on new material in Machines with Magnets' studio as well as playing a couple shows.
MWM is proud to host one of the most exciting electronic post-punk bands of New York: WETWARE - Equally captivating and disorienting, Wetware is an unpredictable duo comprised of vocalist Roxy Farman and synthesist Matthew Morandi, also known for his work as Jahilyya Fields. A constantly shape-shifting, confrontational, trance-inducing band not to be missed. Highly recommended. With local support from: VALERIE MARTINO - Shedding her old moniker, UNICORN HARD ON, after the recent release of her 2nd LP. GOBBY - "I think his real name is Gobby... He's a real character." -Seth Manchester and BLUE SHIFT - Cybelle Collins' solo violin shred.
