Join us for a night of celebration and conversation about the 2017 Pawtucket Arts Festival! Funds generated support local artists and the collaborative public art projects they plan to create around Pawtucket. Plus works by Pneuhaus in the gallery.
GOLD DIME (NYC) - Andrya from Talk Normal's new jam, spectral rock that creeps up on you like watching a photo develop in a chemical bath. SUICIDE MAGNETS (PVD) - Wendy's squall always hits below the belt and leaves you as soul-satisfied as a half-remembered dream of travel to a distant, unforgiving land. TASKMASTER (PVD) - Floor-based sonic explorations that give more than they take, you'll emerge refreshed and clear-eyed like you just stepped out of the float tank. BABY;BABY (PVD) - PVD's nouvellest of nouvelle vague, theys got the herky-jerk spasmodic spurt-spurt on lock. DJ HAND OF FOOD - between set entertainment provided by the famous slapstick duo of Dave Public and E Guy Schreiber!
EVENT SERIES SHOWCASING LOCAL SYNTH FETISHISTS: Composing, synthesis, home recording... it can all be extremely isolating and lonely. You can see it on the faces of a lot of people in town if you look for it, a sort of haunted obsessed look.. spooky, really. You know they've just spent 19 consecutive hours without food or water with headphones on squinting into LCD screens turning data knobs, pushing sliders and watching youtube tutrials on how to use their multiband compressor plugin.
