Sharon Tate Fetus Explosion::::::::
Sharon Tate Fetus Explosion is currently a solo project of
Sarah Lockhart. No Wave-inspired, post-industrial, art-damaged, and generally damaged. Huddling under the noise umbrella, some of STFE's material is songs with words. Instrumentation includes metal percussion, electronics, and vocals. Content includes: real estate development, social media trends, normcore, and the inner lives of domestic animals.https://sharontatefetusexplosion.bandcamp.com/releases
Kyle Bruckmann's Degradient::::::
After 13 busy years maintaining poly-stylistic sideman duties and long-distance collaborations with former Chicago comrades, Bruckmann finally busts out as bandleader of a Bay Area ensemble. Gleefully colliding elements of skronk, fried analog noise and dark prog within a Creative Music framework, DEGRADIENT adds a significant chunk of heavy to his signature gimmicks of jittery polyrhythmic clatter, formal complexity, black humor, and all-around sensory overload. The core quartet features fellow Chicago ex-pat Aram Shelton along with the in-demand rhythm section (currently driving groups including Jack O’ the Clock and the Fred Frith Trio) of
Jason Hoopes and
Jordan Glenn.
