Local duo Fuzz Town (recently also featuring a 3rd member) tend to provide thinking noise. They have been known to take important social speeches to distortion and back again while using their rigs (guitars and a mix of analog/digital electronic gear) to give you their very own personal take on the issue at hand. Even when that’s not the point of what they do, they do tend to emotion-bend your thoughts into a coherent and cohesive sound-unit.

Town artifact Sid Redlin manages to find his way downtown every once in a while, bringing his not-to-be-ignored-but-only-envied electronic rig (I hear he’s got a new Moog these days. And by “hear,” I mean “can’t stop talking about it ever.”) Of course, with age comes practice, so he’ll definitely have something to teach a young’un or two about how the bleeps and bloops go, and exactly how to finger paint properly with electronic jams.

Headlining from Chicago, Den. masters their noise with bass, drum, and synth. Slow but satisfactory builds and tapers find their way into strategic places in between the raw feels and sound of the harder tracks. Don’t miss the ability to rock out (but not with inappropriate appendages out) to this Kzoo returnee.

It’s a bear’s DEN. GET IT!?

Show is at Satellite Records in Kalamazoo at 808 S. Westnedge. Respect the space, venue has asked that no alcoholic beverages be imbibed.
