2024 8:00PM doors -- music at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $18 in advance / $20 at the door Mr. Gnome mrgnome.com art rock / neo-psychedelia Nyre instagram.com/nyremusic alternative garage psychedelic rock BenBen & Friends ------- no BenBen & Lily instagram.com/benbensings freak folk indie rock psychedelic Mr. Gnome -from Cleveland, OH -Since 2005, Barille and drummer/pianist Sam Meister have been crafting a vision of expansive, technicolor art-rock, receiving critical acclaim from the likes of Rolling Stone (named "Band To Watch" in a spotlight review), Pitchfork, NPR, Paste, Esquire, Spin, Magnet, MTV, KEXP, and American Songwriter, among others. In addition to this wholly-realized sonic presentation, Mr. Gnome has an extensive history of producing head-turning DIY visuals in the form of otherworldly album covers, artistic press photography and mind-bending short films. Such ambitious audiovisual presentation is matched perhaps only by the energy of their live shows, as Mr. Gnome has long held a strong cult following across the United States for their cathartic, raucous performances. This sixth release sees the long-awaited return of Mr. Gnome to the stage for their upcoming, coast-to-coast U.S. tour this fall. They will be joined by touring guitarist/bassist, Jonah Meister, who is also a featured player on A Sliver of Space. Whether via sound, visuals, or live experience, Mr. Gnome has a knack for taking the beautiful monsters that exist within all of us and shining a glorious light on them. A Sliver of Space finds beauty in chaos by alchemically fusing spectral sounds with a widescreen cinematic perspective. This soaring, introspective musical journey constantly beckons the listener - to get lost watching stars explode, to gaze upon souls splitting and swirling to reunite, and to melt their minds if only for a moment. Won’t you join them? Nyre -from San Francisco, CA -the father, the son, and the holy spirit BenBen & Friends -from Brooklyn, NY -BenBen is a NYC based animator who makes mystical folk rock that circumvents cheap categorization and plays by its own rules. Charming songs about finding tenderness in the margins of a harsh society unfurl with lush arrangements. Ranging from heavy rock to experimental chamber folk, the core of BenBen’s music is his otherworldly high tenor voice, which is always powerfully earnest, as if casting a spell. BenBen has connected through stage and studio with artists ranging from Band of Horses, Gustav Ejstes of Dungen, + members of Gogol Bordello, to folk goddesses such as the Indigo Girls + Samantha Crain. Hot on the heels of a month-long tour of Europe and the UK, BenBen is thrilled to embark on his first West Coast tour. He will be joined on stage by UK-based Izzy Williamson (cello) and fellow New Yorker Isabella Bustanoby (viola), who plays bass in the genuinely wild band Sloppy Jane… and some possibly very special appearances by local musicians. |
