Come out for an eclectic night of sonic art and music courtesy of Torches Mauve (KC), Fire Bad (OKC), and Bird Drugs (Norman).
Torches Mauve is the free-jazz/free improvisation duo of Seth Andrew Davis on electric guitar, laptop/electronics and Evan Verploegh on drums and percussion. Torches Mauve combines elements of free-jazz, non-idiomatic free improvisation, electro-acoustic techniques, noise, and groove based music. Davis & Verploegh released their first record Hunter on Lurker Bias in spring 2022. The duo released their self-titled follow up in February 2023 on the EMAS imprint. Davis & Verploegh are the co-founders of the Extemporaneous Music & Arts Society (EMAS) a Kansas City based improvised and experimental arts collective.
If you haven’t seen Fire Bad! yet, don’t miss this chance! These OKC originals combine metal, punk, surf and fuzz, and then add a touch of high-flying Lucha to come up with with something truly infectious and disturbingly fun. If you like horror and love rock and roll, you’ll love Fire Bad!
Bird Drugs is the multimedia brainchild of Norman transplant Justin Wallis. They combine audio ambience with etherial video content to create an immersive experience that has to be seen live to be truly appreciated.
