Preview: sBACH, Cuticle, Wayne Western
Monday night is not exactly the night you’d expect to have to choose between shows, but this Monday you’ve got choices, so rest up tonight. It’s definitely tempting to hit up that Minus the Bear show with Annuals at the Picador, but at $15, there’s certainly reason to ply your trade elsewhere. If that bill ain’t your thing, you are in luck. PS1 will be keeping it DIY with a $5 show featuring sBACH and some awesome locals. sBACH is the natural solo project of Spencer Seim of Hella and the Advantage. And though Hella finds him shredding on guitar with Zach Hill’s ass-kicking drums to back him up, sBACH (whatever that means) finds him focused on a more electronic sound. His compositions as sBACH are intricate, often kitschy, and most importantly fun. Everything is instrumental, and everything revels in synthesizer. It sounds like video game music for grown ups. Dance-drone duo Cuticle and instrumental rock trio Wayne Western open. Doors are at 9:30.
