RADIO WONDERLAND's Joshua Fried has curated a diverse night of experimental music that's truly danceable. We're proud to welcome dance music legend Peter Gordon, known for his work with Arthur Russell, Laurie Anderson and his own Love of Life Orchestra, a group known to sometimes employ both David Byrne and Arto Lindsay on guitars for the same song.
Where? The sumptuous Gemini & Scorpio Loft, home to the sexiest underground theme parties, a lovely stage, big high-end sound and a bouncy dance floor.
Peter Gordon w/ with Mustafa Ahmed (congas) + Paul Nowinski (bass) http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2014/06/peter-gordon-feature http://www.lovely.com/bios/gordon.html "A contemporary composer who's written operas, collaborated with the likes of The Flying Lizards, Arthur Russell and Factory Floor, and worked on the Desperate Housewives soundtrack, Gordon's place in the avant-garde American canon is secured." Vice
Todd Reynolds (violin, electronics) http://www.toddreynolds.com/ The violinist of choice for Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, Bang on a Can, and a founder of the string quartet known as Ethel.
RADIO WONDERLAND (FM boombox, shoes, steering wheel, laptop) http://radiowonderland.org/seize/ http://clang.cl/radio-wonderland/ Your host, and the ongoing experiment of celebrated musical trickster Joshua Fried. Pulverizing live radio into little audio bits that dance, controlled by a Buick steering wheel and old shoes hit with sticks. "...rather like Negativland remixed for a house party. Its undeniably fun." Robert Barry, The Wire
What DJ could possibly integrate these disparate threads and keep us dancing between live sets? Only that encyclopedic cultural force DJ SHAKEY (Rubulad, The Keep, Empire Breaks)
NEW MUSIC YOU CAN REALLY DANCE TO IN A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN REALLY DANCE.
