THIS FRIDAY - December 16th at The Vortex
An Evening with Blectum from Blechdom
Starring…
Maria and the Mirrors
SERIOUSLY i really can't impart how fucking magnificent and crazy this three-piece band are - a garish overload of gaudy percussive noise - pop music ripped to shreds and reconfigured as a tidal wave of anxiety-soaked chaosenergy bilsstumble - this is 21st century art-rock - ferociously individual, completely unclassifiable and entirely entertaining.
Kevin Blechdom
Blevin Blectum
Blectum from Blechdom
What can we say?
The return and a super-rare London performance from two of the most radical, adventurous and downright beserk artists of the last 20 years...
Pioneers in the development of the laptop as a musical instrument in its own right and wielders of a manic and surral sense of humour, Exotic Pylon is absolutely thrilled to present Kevin Blechdom and Blevin Blectum both performing solo sets and, oh joy of joys, a duo performance. I really couldn't tell you what to expect and that is one of the 8 million reasons that this will be a night to remember.
Some Bio:
Formed in 1998 by Kristin Erickson (Kevin Blechdom) and Bevin Kelley (Blevin Blectum) and disbanded in 2001 they originally met at the Mills College in Oakland, California and initially performed locally, in the San Francisco Bay Area recording their first EP, titled Snauses and Mallards, in March 2000. Their first full length album "The Messy Jesse Fiesta" (that won second prize for Digital Music at Ars Electronica in 2001) was released later that same year. The duo broke up in May 2001, with both artists retaining their noms de plume and continuing work on solo projects but reformed as a duo in 2007.
