EMPAC | New Nothing Series + Garth Knox | November 13 + 14

New Nothing Series
Dan Deacon, Skeleton$, Luciano Chessa + Nuclear Power Pants
Friday November 13, 8 PM
$15 / $10 / $5

Punky funk meets Futurism and homespun electro in this paradoxical grouping of artists from far ends of the musical spectrum. Skeleton$ has been described by Pitchfork Magazine as “an outsize global-a-go-go mélange of unceasing polyrhythms, Afrobeat guitars, free jazz, and Timbaland’s approach to kitchen-sink percussion.” Protean italian composer Luciano Chessa will perform Futurist poetry and a piece for piano and stuffed animal. To top it off, the inimitable Dan Deacon, exuberant manufacturer of indie noise-dance, will shakes the spackle off the walls and your hands into the air. Nuclear Power Pants opens the whole shebang.
