Brooklyn, NY

Three live performances from free103point9 Project Space, with free admission in person, and audio and video streams online.

Growing
Otis Hart described the nature of the band\'s music in Dusted: "Reach for an initial word, a label - say Doom Metal - then watch, as the demonic guitars slowly morph into demonstrative bliss. Drone may come a bit closer to the truth, but only slightly, as silence plays an equally significant role in the proceedings. Alas, Growing\'s anomalous sounds dwell in perpetual nigh-fidelity, permeating the gaps between equalizer settings with evasive intent, frustrating any attempr at optimization, and therefore, classification."

Mammal
Michigan-based noise artist. First NYC show since 2003. From Dusted: "The sense of forward movement and the hypnotism of the lonely electronic modulated beats bring to mind Chris Carter's early solo pieces. Except where Carter was sometimes too tidy and too in touch with melody to let the undercarriage rot, Mammal is all about the capture and preservation of steady degradation."

Giancarlo Bracchi
Bracchi (aka Mangoon) has been chruning out solo blat for nearly three years. A local New York artist, Bracchi creates decaying wastelands of sound through processed howls, guttural zombie moans, feedbacking guitar and flushing toilets.
"(Mangoon) combines speaker-punishing electronics and percussion with throat-shredding vocals. There are moments here that could pass for the drummer from The Trashmen leading Neubauten through a junkyard re-think of "Surfin' Bird", while other parts are so unequivocally blunt they could take yr face off. This is some supremely diseased lo-fi grudge: if you dig Lux Interior as much as Richard Rupenus, this is a great one to strap to yr mug." - David Keenan
