Event Details

CHILD BITE
A Post-punk, art-rock, howling rhythmic frenzy.
"Loosely comparable to bands such as Man Man, Child Bite will leave you scratching your head and asking ‘what the hell was that, and why am I aroused.’ Their live shows have been revered as some of the most fun by those who have experienced them and their crazy style of textured music is a perfect representation of the entire Detroit underground music scene put together into one utterly baffling group." Detroit Underground

LAMB’S LEGS

These wonderful Milwaukee weirdos state their musical influences as such: The Fall, DNA, Lungfish, Antioch Arrow, The Birthday Party. That pretty much says it all.

FAHRI
"’90s revivalism may be all the rage, but little of what Fahri does seems intentionally fashionable. Instead, the band serves as a perfect antithesis to the rote and often indulgent shoegaze sound hawked by so many other bands. Direct yet enigmatic, noisy yet always tuneful, Final Disconnect Notice is the sound of a band slashing its own path through the noise, only to find a familiar tune on the other side." -The Onion AV Club review of Fahri's latest release

    Organ swell, a singer whose voice seems to crack at will, pointed guitar and sax bleats, and drums and bass that just edge over onto the right side of over-charged: Detroit’s Child Bite takes a spare-parts jumble of new-wave, no-wave, and noise-rock sounds and shreds it into multicolored confetti.more at avclub.com
