Blevin Blectum, as I’ve written ad infinitum, is one of
America’s foremost experimental electronic musicians, and every live
performance she’s done since moving to Seattle two years ago has been an
overwhelmingly weird trip. Leash is the next bold leap forward for
former Newaxeyes synth/bass player Jordan Rundle. In the aftermath of
Newaxeyes’ distortion-laden electronichaos, Leash released the EP Wrest,
what I called on Slog “a gorgeously grotesque soundscape of
postapocalyptic splendor.” Fungal Abyss drummer Benjamin
Thomas-Kennedy’s blouseusa project will be celebrating the release of
their fifth album, blouseusa2000. Its nine jittery, enigmatic
songs straddle the wobbly line between abstract electronica and
off-kilter rock, proving that Thomas-Kennedy is never not interesting.
Diminished Men’s inventive jazz-rock guitarist Simon Henneman will be
accompanying him at this show.
