High Zero Festival Line-Up

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

So this just in: this is the 10th year of our charmed city's High Zero Festival, hosted by the Red Room, showcases all that is good and right and discomforting in music experimentation. I'm excited for Arrington de Dionyso, eccentric, Tuvan-throat-singing front-man of the jaw-dropping, intimidating well-spring of experimental ...

Countdown to Whartscape: T-2 Thank You

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Thank You are currently well-poised. SIgned to Thrill Jockey like Arbouretum, Pontiak and so many others, they recently released their J. Robbins-produced latest effort Terrible Two to warm reviews from all the typically curmudgeonly outlets (I'm looking at you Pitchfork). Their special sauce? A particularly dis-equilibrated, frenzied mix of ...

Countdown to Whartscape: T-3 Ponytail

Monday, July 14th, 2008

It approaches.  Only 3x24 hrs left and you'll be at the Charles, waiting breathlessly for Matmos while freaking out with Teeth Mountain.  Or maybe you'll be seeing a certain caped crusader at midnight. Whatever. Today's mini-terview: Dustin Wong of Ponytail.  If you haven't already, pick up Ice Cream Spiritual and read our ...

Countdown to Whartscape: T-4 Parts & Labor

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

The common thread linking the majority of Whartscape's massive line-up is undoubtedly explosiveness. You would be hard-pressed to pick an artist more emblematic of this than Brooklyn's Parts & Labor. Bearing the marks of hardcore, punk and experimental tendencies, their sound has grown from mostly instrumental to encompass more harmony, ...

Their set on Saturday's outside stage for Whartscape shouldn't be missed. Read on as laptop extraordinaire and Floristree-resident Jason Urick takes time ...

Countdown to Whartscape: T-6 Arbouretum (Dave Heumann)

Friday, July 11th, 2008

Continuing in our series of Whartscape mini-terviews, next up is Arbouretum. We snuck in our set of Whartscape questions when we met Arbouretum's somewhat reclusive front-man Dave Heumann at, get this, Cylburn Arboretum. Get it? Full interview from that meeting, consisting of things not related to Wham and Whart, coming in ...

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

To celebrate all things Wham and Whartscape, we asked some of the artists performing to answer five questions. Andy was our first test subject. Stay tuned for tons more in the week to come. Andy Abelow is all the fuck over the Baltimore scene, loosely dubbed "the Greatest Scene ...
