89.3 The Current and Susstones present BNLX EP #4 RELEASE PARTY
BNLX
BNLX has been meeting and/or exceeding expectations whilst providing mission critical noise solutions to the entertainment sector since Q1 | 2010. The band is a two-piece noise/electronic ensemble featuring musicians; it also incorporates visual and narrative elements. These compositions combine rhythmically-expressed poetry in popular idiomatic vernacular (“rhymes“) with pulsating percussive elements (“beats”) and harmonic modulations/variations/transpositions (melody). The resulting unique juxtaposition of auditory and narrative elements can only be described as “music”. Thematic topics on this release include IED’s, event horizons, beards and banjos, and deposed royalty. The group is comprised of members from Polara and The Moodswings.
RED PENS
Seeing the Minneapolis duo Red Pens is like witnessing a demonstration. A demonstration in raw sonic bliss. Howard Hamilton III is a string bending master and knows how to make feedback work to his advantage. His confident vocal stylings coupled with drummer Laura Bennett's all or nothing kit pounding are about as uniquely refreshing as it gets these days.
