Track Zero + SCOPE Productions Present

Lip Critic
Live @ Gabe’s

Thursday, February 19th, Doors @ 7:00 PM

“The latest link in a chain connecting various strains of New York rock history. The frenetic buzziness of the band’s most often-cited influence, Television, comes through, as does the bass-booming, shout-along rowdiness of the Beastie Boys. Their fondness for yelpy vocals and grimy, bassy electronic arrangements… They are not a band that’s trying to sound weird or abrasive, they just are weird and abrasive. Perhaps that’s the key to Hex Dealer’s greatness—it’s a record that just is, (Paste Magazine).

Lip Critics most recent album, Hex, was released on Partisan Records (Body Meat, Cameron Winter, Geese, IDLES, PJ Harvey). Receiving a 7.7 by Pitchfork, Hex is genre inclusive, “The album is a master class in genre-hopping, running the gamut of drum’n’bass, hip-hop, and ska,” (Pitchfork).

Cited as a Band to Watch by Stereogum, “Kaser's performance is athletically deranged, with the ability to span George Ezra-level croons to demonic auctioneer rants to screams that sound as if Baby Prunes ("They're selling chocolate?!") from SpongeBob SquarePants was in a hardcore band. Their music is a corrosive concoction of drum n bass, hardcore, hip-hop, jungle, and pop. It feels part Devo, part Death Grips, part Fatboy Slim, and part JPEGMAFIA, with bits of the Prodigy and MSPAINT. It also reeks of the early internet, bringing to mind the surreal monstrosity "cows & cows & cows" and viral newscast videos,” (Stereogum).

The Englert Presents

Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives
Live @ The Englert

Saturday, March 28th @ 7:30 PM

“After apprenticing in the bands of Johnny Cash, Lester Flatt, and Doc Watson, Marty Stuart forged a career carrying forward country’s traditions, finding success as a recording artist, songwriter, and multimedia emissary for country music,” (Country Music Hall of Fame).

Just under a year off his most recent release, “Space Junk is the the first double LP of original instrumentals by Grammy recipient, Country Music Hall of Fame member, Congress of Country Music founder and AMA Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Marty Stuart and his longtime band Fabulous Superlatives…In a career spanning over 50 years, dozens of albums, and too many shows to count, Stuart is still restless and pushing himself to new heights. Space Junk showcases the inimitable interplay and bond between Marty and his Superlatives: Kenny Vaughan, Harry Stinson and Chris Scruggs,” (Tinnitist).
