the critique of pure reason presents:

The Butchershop Quartet (w/dan sullivan of nad navillus)
Barbez

9:30 PM
All ages
$9

The Butchershop Quartet play Igor Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring” with
two guitars, bass, and drums.

Barbez takes shape in a sunstruck phantasm; Kurt Weill swims the length of
a still pond, underwater The Residents are refurbishing their home, Erik
Satie descends from above to lie in the grass and sip seltzer. Shapes
emerge from flowering trees and a Dionysian wedding dance ensues. Provoked
by such musics as French musette, Argentine tango, post-war classical and
pre-MTV punk, Barbez wrings these disparate worlds to form anew in the
band’s own soundscape.
