September 10, 2016
9:00 pm
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.
