NY Eye & Ear Fest at Knitting Factory

Another one of those “can’t miss events” is upon us. Today and tomorrow at the new Knitting Factory location in Brooklyn (conveniently near the Lorimer L train stop) Pendu.org’s NY Eye and Ear fest is going on.

This is cool enough to finally convince me to break my silence and start posting up to the No-Core blog again. And yes, it’s happening TODAY, but hey, all the other music blogs announce shows the day-of, so why can’t I? (and besides, it’s tomorrow too)

This is a big music event, but also a big record fair with lots of cool experimental and weirdo labels setting up tables. There was even a No-Core table last year. The line-up consists of a wide variety of avant/out/noisy/experimental music. It naturally skews to organizer Todd Pendu (not the same person as Todd P!) ‘s tastes, which seem to be for the dark, moody, and abstract. But there’s a big line-up of wildly varying styles so anyone interested in anything interesting… should find something to… interest them?

I’ll duplicate the list of performers and links below. I’ll be heading over there later today! Check it out!

Hot Guts at Silent Barn

Gay Beast played in the middle and I think I’ve raved about them enough, right? It’s twice as great live as on record. Brain-melting nu-math no-wave.

Satanized closed things out with an intense and sweaty set. They play harsh math/noise-rock, often leaning toward the technical. This night things leaned toward the heavy and pounding.

Awesome. Sorry about the slow blogging, but things will pick up here. And hey, if anyone thinks there is a Brooklyn show that I really shouldn’t miss, be sure to shoot me an email!
