Thu 14th Upset The Rhythm presents MAGIK MARKERS + Lambsbread + Skaters
Doors 8.00
Magick Markers are three childhood friends and room-mates, originating from Hartford, Connecticut. Begun on a quiet night as a cure for boredom in a grandparent's basement some 4 or 5 years ago, Leah Quimby (bass), Elisa Ambrogio (guitar, vocals) and Pete Nolan (drums, iBook, trumpet) have followed a unique path since, with their blend of garage-rock, free improvisation and pure noise. Lambsbread are from Delaware, Ohio. They live on a farm, have a swimming pool, but no good pizza places nearby and they don't do much besides smoke weed, which often leads to jamming. And what a jam it is! A straight-for-the-jugular brand of dense grooves and free hardcore. Track down one of their ephemeral tape or CDR releases for Freedom From, American Tapes or their very own Maim & Disfigure label for more. The Skaters are the San Franciscan duo of James Ferraro and Spencer Clark. The main instrument used by these 2 geniuses is voice, but not voice as we know it. Chants are looped live through archaic delay units and played at a monstrous volume through old and broken amplifiers. Occasionally a broken-leaded guitar is strummed or a very bent tribal sounding percussion looms into the mix, but overall its those crazy gnomic voices that dominate - somewhere between Double Leopards, Coil and Vibracathedral Orchestra on paint thinner. Totally ecstatic. |
