Sterile Garden/ Rare Storms/ Taskmaster/ Clean/ Purism

April 20, 2017

9:00 pm

Tonight we have three acts from the northern lands bringing us some truly negative vibes. STERILE GARDEN (Portland, Maine): the solo project of Jacob DeRaadt, Basement Tapes labelhead, formerly based out of Denver, CO. a very bleak mix of tape manipulation, sound collage, and industrial noise at a high level of perfection. various releases via Monorail Trespassing, Mazurka Editions, etc. RARE STORMS (Portland, Maine): a delicate blend of modular synth textures and field recording manipulation by Patrick Carey. first Providence appearance. TASKMASTER (Montreal): supreme harsh noise from Canada. The real deal. *NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH DANI B's LOCAL PROJECT* Local scum... CLEAN and PURISM (new project featuring E3 of Finished and the return of Annapurna).

MISSDICK VIBROCIS (Chicago): "a noise/performance art duo featuring crypto-femme demoness Forced Into Femininity and garbage-mouth seabird Lorene Bouboushian. By taking all cultural influences of recent tours and childhood (see: christian fundamentalism) under their wings and into the trash compactors known as their bodies, they seek to enlighten via confusion, noise, and rubbing their theatrical makeup on you." i am terrified. local support... LINGUA IGNOTA, VAL MARTINO, GYNA BOOTLEG, & AETHER JAG.

STREET SECTS (Austin TX) "In the regularly rotating arena of heavy music, where metal tends to dominate more often than not, Street Sects stand out as being uniquely adversarial and should not to be overlooked. Their new record, End Position, emerges at an appropriate time more than ever as a much needed silver lining to the many shapes of punk that never came." -New Noise Magazine.

JOHN BENDER. VALISE. UNIVERSAL CELL UNLOCK. SAKIKO. CREAM CANDLES. HAND OF FOOD.

March 25, 2017

9:00 pm

Machines with Magnets proudly presents the first Providence performance of early minimal synthesist, JOHN BENDER. "The few self-issued recordings by experimental electronic musician John Bender attained legendary status decades after their initial release during the early '80s. Bender's bizarre, shadowy songs were inspired by Robert Ashley and Pere Ubu, and recorded using bare-bones recording equipment and primitive synthesizers. He issued three full-length LPs and a few cassettes before vanishing; subsequently, his recordings became holy grails for aficionados of minimal synth, avant-garde, and obscure music in general." With local support from: UNIVERSAL CELL UNLOCK (CF, Daily Life, Kites), VALISE (Maralie of Humanbeast), CREAM CANDLES (Carlos of Russian Tsarlag & Bridget of Aether Jag), and HAND OF FOOD (Eric and Dave of Finished) with SAKIKO MORI (Daily Life/Lazy Magnet) playing keys and select tracks between acts.
