Whether you’re into hot boys or not, here’s what’s happening around town tonight:
From Data Breaker:
HARSH
The second episode of Harsh features John Wiese (AKA Sissy Spacek), one of noise music’s most fertile, febrile sources of aural hurt. Being near the speakers at a Wiese performance is akin to peering over the lip of an erupting volcano or having ravenous rodents gnaw your ears while all the world’s cutlery explodes. You’ve been warned. Fetal Distress (Trevor Harmon) forges ill-mannered, agitated electronic music laced with movie dialogue geared to reinforce his jaundiced (i.e., realistic) worldview. Logic Probe plows a cerebral, glitch-strewn yet melodic path for people who have “Ae” tattooed on their knuckles. With Honed Bastion plus resident DJs William F . Buckely Jr., Android Heart, NoahNine, and guest DJ Oblique unleashing gabber, noise, glitch, and breakcore to make your internal organs cry for mercy. Re-bar, 1114 Howell St, 233-9873, 10 pm2 am, $5, 21+.
And from U&Cs:
2MEX, DISJOINTED ISOTOPES, AVENUE ROCKERS, DJ WD-4D
(Nectar) While corpulent L.A.-based rapper 2mex is a seemingly overwhelmingly down-to-earth dude, (his website has hosted invitations to his house for “Monday Movie Nights”) he also has a ravenous work ethic that lends itself to the oft-thankless grind of underground hiphop. Extended family of the Shapeshifters and Project Blowed crews, 2mex has, since the late ’90s, had a stunningly prolific recorded output and touring schedule. He has produced successful solo albums (both under his own name and as SonGodSuns), been a primary force in groups the Visionaries and OMD (Of Mexican Descent), and most recently, has formed the avant hiphop band Look Daggers with Mars Volta keyboardist Ikey Owens. This latest artistic endeavor may prove to be one of 2mex’s most fruitful yet, as Look Daggers combine his trademark blunted gonzo lyricism (one of their songs threatens to drag a girl to the harp store) with heroically uncheesy jazz-rock-infused backdrops.
