[microsound] [ann] Zs and David Grubbs at galapagos 1/26



Wednesday, Jan 26th, 10pm...

DARMSTADT @ Galapagos presents:

Zs with special guest DJ David Grubbs of Drag City and Gastr del Sol!

New York's brutal chamber sextet, Zs (www.zzzsss.com) is a band working
between the worlds of Avant Rock and New Music. Mostly instrumental, the
music often explores the extremes of compositional complexity and
virtuosity as well as extended repetition. The sound ranges from bombastic
Prog Rock counterpoint to barely audible breathing sounds. Several members
contribute compositions, and some pieces are written collaboratively.

Zs formed in January 2002 and began performing in September, sharing bills
with the Flying Luttenbachers, Touchdown, Gang Gang Dance, Young People,
Ty Braxton and other experimental acts in New York and around the
Northeast. They also performed in conjunction with Wet Ink Musics, a
non-profit curatorial group for New Music, opening for seminal composer
Christian Wolff.

David Grubbs is a Brooklyn-based musician and writer.  His most recent
album is "A Guess at the Riddle" (Drag City/FatCat).  He has played in
Gastr del Sol, The Red Krayola, and Squirrel Bait; directs the Blue
Chopsticks record label; and contributes music criticism to the
Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
