🚨Tuesday, September 1st‼️ ❄️SOFT AS SNOW is the Berlin-based, Norwegian duo of Oda Starheim and Øystein Monsen. With rough sampling, slippery rhythms and noisy textures, their raw electronic productions are accompanied by Oda’s shapeshifting voice, creating a warped-yet-warm physicality. Their latest album was released on Beacon Sound and features London MC Brother May (CURL). Their music has been variously compared to Fever Ray, Throbbing Gristle, and Cabaret Voltaire.

📽️DPSD is the audiovisual project of director ⭐️Danny Perez, using his filmmaking background (🎞️ODDSAC, 🎞️ANTIBIRTH) to create wild video projections that interact with beat-driven electronic music infused with broken guitar melodies. Touring for years with 🎲BLACK DICE and 🐼PANDA BEAR, creating their concert visuals, has informed Perez’s own music. Live performances feature Perez’s signature visuals set to an ominous but playful take on power electronics and psych-rock.

🕰️Bar Opens at 5 pm for 2 for $5 tacos.🌮 Miniplex doors at 7 pm. Local support TBA. 21+🍸

🪩🎹 THIS FRIDAY, DJ PerilNormal👽 will be playing danceable 💥No Wave, 💥New Wave, and things in-between - plus some newer music inspired by these genres - starting at 9 pm.🕰️ Think bands like ⭐️Blondie, ⭐️New Order, ⭐️The Slits, ⭐️Gang of Four, ⭐️Au Pairs, ⭐️The Human League, ⭐️ESG. Both genres have roots in the late-70s - New Wave in the U.K. with a “more buoyant, quirky, and artsy sound... with inspiration from the power-pop genre from the 60s” (Rough Trade), and No Wave in the gritty New York City scene, an avant-garde reaction against “all that three-chord rock whose attitudes may have been Punk, but whose musical roots came from Chuck Berry riffs of the 50s” (Robin Crutchfield).📌

💋💅🏽 Dress-up in late 70s/early 80s “New Wave / No Wave” theme is encouraged❗️9 pm. This is a 💥FREE💥 event, 21 and up.🍸

This new full-length film 🎬 “ORFEO” from one of Italy’s most exciting new voices defiantly combines 🎞️16mm analog cinematography, 🎨handcrafted sets, meticulous stop-motion animation, and vintage style in-camera optical effects🎥 for “a decidedly original work of art that recalls the decadent opulence of Dario Argento but also the esoterism of Maya Deren or Kenneth Anger.” ~Cineuropa

Since he was a child, pianist Orpheus has imagined stories about an abandoned villa across the street from his house. One night at the club where he plays, he meets mysterious Eura’s gaze and an unconditional love blossoms between them. When she disappears, he follows her into a labyrinthine underworld... An adaptation of Dino Buzzati’s 1969 graphic novel Poema a fumetti, a reworking of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth set in a highly stylized 1960s Milan.
