Doors at 8, show at 9, don’t be late!
Eaters are playing a special Armonica set tonight at Magick City. This will be an improvised microtonal drone set, based around a unique Glass Armonica (a musical instrument of nested glass bowls played by friction) designed/built/performed by Christopher Duffy with Bob Jones and Jonathan Schenke on synthesizers. Dead Night and Hey Exit are also performing, doors at 8!
Eaters will play Alphaville with Gong Gong Gong (a Beijing-based duo whose debut American single is coming soon on Wharf Cat Records) and The Wants (an off-shoot band by Madison Velding-VanDam of Bodega). Gong Gong Gong are supporting Parquet Courts leading up to this show, and will be touring with Flasher and Bodega this winter – don’t miss this opportunity to see them in NYC!

From the New Yorker’s Night Life section:
Jonathan Schenke is a go-to producer for the indie-rock élite, having worked on albums for Dirty Beaches, Parquet Courts, and Frankie Rose, among others. He steps out from behind the mixing boards with this exaggerated electro-funk project, which he shares with the multi-instrumentalist Bob Jones. The duo, which builds synth-based soundscapes that would not be out of place in an early-eighties slasher flick, has released two self-titled records; this year’s is grinding and quirky, full of deep club tunes with the Korg-inflected whimsy of early New Wave bands like Oingo Boingo and the Buggles. They perform with Yvette, a raw industrial duo whose jagged tracks should come with cautionary signage.
Eaters play live with Yvette and Parlor Walls at Elsewhere (Zone One) on December 3rd. Tickets on sale now, RSVP on Facebook.
AdHoc Presents: Eaters play support for Chicago’s Dead Rider, with Christina Schneider’s Genius Grant, at Ceremony 224 on October 19. Facebook invite here, Ticketfly link here.
