Tonight is the inaugural edition of Harsh, at Re-Bar, a night dedicated to (that’s right) “harsh beats and harsh noise.” This evening’s guests will include KJ Sawka, NAHA, Plethora, and Ear Venom. Dave Segal has this to say:

Debut of a monthly night devoted to the nurturing of your tinnitus, courtesy of veteran sonic agitators Backwards Records NW and Le Vide. Kicking off this event are KJ Sawka, NAHA, Ear Venom, and Plethora. The aim here seems to be sonic diversity and extremity: noise + glitch + splatter beats = bleeding ears. With resident DJs Android Heart, NoahNine, and MCVD and VJ Low Rez. First 25 people in receive free drinks and Backwards product. Re-bar, 1114 Howell St, 233-9873, 9 pm—2 am, $5, 21+.
