The Brooklyn psych-rockers draw from minimalism and kraut-rock, restlessly and relentlessly exploring rhythms, repetitions and textures, making heavy use of percussion, analog equipment, hypnotic loops of driving sound. Champions of under-recognized awesomeness (they founded Brah! Records – an imprint of Jagjaguwar – to promote artists they believe in), Oneida do not shy away from sonic adventures, as their legendary live sets attest. Company joins the evening, bringing an authoritative and deep take on folk, punk, and country traditions in their stellar songs. Tonight they’ll be releasing their latest record Night Ground on Peapod Recordings. This show is doubling as SPACE Gallery co-founder Jon Courtney’s big 40th birthday bash, so come make it extra-memorable for the guy! « Back to the calendar |
