Tonight: Black Pus


Brian Chippendale is nuts at drums! Best known for his work with the legendary noise bands Lightning Bolt and Mindflayer (groups set apart from the 'noise' genre because of their exceptional percussionist), as well as having collaborated with Bjork on Volta (though arguably underutilized in the project), the Providence, RI artist is currently touring solo as Black Pus. I've seen Lightning Bolt a handful of times – the band created some of the most confused and fucked up moshpits since The Locust – the rhythm went a million directions at once as the bass/drum combo blasted out mind-crushing walls of noise. As a solo drum/vocal project, Black Pus is just as relentless a sonic force. Check it out when he blasts Slyboots tonight (350 Ellicott St, 9PM) along with the Slyboots Drumming Ensemble (drum/dance project from Ghana), C/V Duo (sound experiements by Scott Valkwitch & Pat Cain), and TUURD (stoner/spazz from Rochester).

Tonight: Tuurd


The bar is already set pretty high (low?) when you've named yourself Tuurd. I didn't want to focus on the band name, but you've gotta be kidding me, right? It's hard to find info about these folks on the internet besides a tape/record on Bandcamp, but I will say this: they live up (down?) to the name. The Rochester bass/drum team plays some sludgy, sludgy songs - take the doomy drone of Om, and then intermittently toss in some bass-funk-grind a la DFA79, but slow it down a bunch. They'll be at The Vault tonight (702 Main St, 8PM, $5) with Wild Gone Girls, Baczkowski/Sack Duo, and VWLS, and I'm sure there will be enough headbanging to go around.
