What’s On

Thrilled to bring psycho jazz titans and contemporary memelords Wolf Eyes back to Cambridge for the first time in nearly two decades.
Now a duo of John Olson and Nate Young, over nearly 30 years Wolf Eyes have laid waste to the American midwest and beyond with a dizzying range of punishing noise, alien soundscapes, warped blues, grindhouse ambient, power psyche, and new age skronk.

Over a crushingly vast discography of lathe cuts, CDrs, handmade tapes, and the occasional “regular” release, they’ve pushed instruments and listeners to the limit, frying circuits and minds in equal, incalculable numbers. Always ingenious, always inscrutable, always revelatory, Wolf Eyes are consistently essential but never predictable. True underground DIY heroes of our age!

BIG|BRAVE’s music has been described as massive minimalism. Their fusillades of textural distortion and feedback emphasize their music’s frayed edges as much as its all-encompassing weight. The potency of the trio’s work is their singular artistry combining elements of traditional folk techniques and a modern deconstruction of guitar music. Gain, feedback, and amplitude are essential.

BIG|BRAVE achieve their colossal sound through minimalist approaches, a deft understanding of dynamics and an inventive employment of percussion and distortion. The trio reconceptualize what it is to be heavy or minimal, challenging perceptions with their illumination of painfully overlooked perspectives. BIG|BRAVE’s sound has blossomed, harnessing potent emotions with their unparalleled arrangements and intricate economies of space.
