Black Dice with Marijuana Deathsquads, Hasps, and DJ Matt St. Germain
Seminal NYC based art punk DIY enthusiasts Black Dice on The Electronic Mind Monsters Reader Tour in support of new album Mr. Impossible (April 2012, Ribbon Music). A decade and half of evolution has seen the amplification get larger, and the instruments more enigmatic. Drums and bass guitars have been replaced with mixer feedback, processed vocals, and alien sounds that seek to seduce and repulse impressionable ears. Using videos, live projections, and printed ephemera, the band has developed an over the top psychoactive audio-visual aesthetic that twists the useless pop sights and sounds we are bombarded with into infectious new strains of music and imagery that ooze a rock and roll spirit.
Locals Marijuana Deathsquads and Hasps open, with DJ Matt St Germain spinning between sets.
The Cedar is now fully air-conditioned for your year-round comfort!
