W-2 plays Hassle Fest 10 on 11/10

W-2 plays HFX on 11/10 @ Studio 550 FB event: https://www.facebook.com/events/295366167961623/ Electronics and saxophone aren’t necessarily natural partners, so why should their coming together be anything different than what we hear and witness via the the recordings of W-2? And what is that? Oh right: this duo sounds as if they are trying to strangle one another at times, electronic hands wrapping as tightly as they can around that sax until they fall away into the ether again. The sax gingerly tiptoeing away, but of course still very attached in some perverted manner to its abuser/friend/collaborator. And start again. Fantastic stuff. To be heard IN THE FLESH! W-2 plays w/  Wendy Eisenberg/ Damon Smith/ Weasel Walter trio, Forbes Graham, The Electrician, Michael Rosenstein/ Jesse Kangas-Collins duo, Lauren Tosswill, and Bass Case Scenario

Leya plays HF10 on 11/10

Leya plays HFX on 11/10 @ Green Street Studios 

FB EVENT: https://www.facebook.com/events/579125582505804/ A most experimental duo, NYC’s Adam Markiewicz (of The Dreebs) on violin and Marilu Donovan on harp, create together an otherworldly, both ancient and modern sound, that is completely striking and which stays with you long after you’ve heard it. These sounds have already been paired with porn, and I would say that there’s a few other scenarios that LEYA would go well with, one of them being HASSLE FEST 10. Completely original!!! Playing w/  Video Nasties, (New England) Patriots, Upper Wilds, Minibeast, dog, In Heat, Service, Taxidermists, Thighs, Solo Termite, Scrolling Get a fest pass: https://hasslefest10.brownpapertickets.com/

DJ Richard plays HFX on 11/9 @ Hardcore Stadium/cambridge elks Lodge FB Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/2208304116112106/

DJ RICHARD (Providence/Montreal) doles out doses of tweaked house beats, deep and evil late night chords, the rhythmically functional sound of breaking glass, and enough noise doused tangents from the beat to keep each and every weirdo dance music fan plenty happy. And he’s going to do it for US closing out the night on 11/9 and shutting down the club. Can’t wait. Playing w/ Shawn O’Sullivan, Isabella, Cienfuegos, and  !@#$%  Get a fest pass: https://hasslefest10.brownpapertickets.com/

L.O.T.I.O.N. plays HF10 on 11/10

L.O.T.I.O.N. plays HFX on 11/10 @ Hardcore Stadium/Cambridge Elks Lodge FB Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/745659292492880/ As if pulled straight from the sewer clubs of the worlds of Robocop & C.O.P.S., L.O.T.I.O.N is executing a cyber punk that is messy, ugly, dark, and most importantly very apt at merging punk and electronic sounds into one. With a few tapes, an LP, and the killer usb earring split with SADIST under their belt NYC’s L.O.T.I.O.N. is heaping two slabs of post-apocalyptic wax on us in this slowly decaying year of 2018. AND they are also playing Hassle Fest 10. Rejoice? Playing w/ Sadist, Tortured Skull, Similar Items, Video Filth, and Crisis Actors.

Lily and Horn Horse play HF1X on 11/10 @ Lilypad

FB Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/249455105913151/

Some of the more curious “pop" music being made today is being made by LILY AND HORN HORSE, who are the devilishly fun (in the oddest sense) conjoining of Lily from Palberta and Matt (aka HORN HORSE). Horns and electronics and two eccentric pop songwriters bring it to the table and lay it out for all to see... and it sounds like something in between a serious modern composer’s nightmare and an avant-indie pop dream.

Baltimore lynch-pins who ride the endless groove wave unleashed by those Germans in the late 60s and 70s wherever it may take them. They will show you the way to polyrhythmic immortality if you let them, promise. Let the rhythms have your energies. It’s ok. It’s a symbiotic relationship you’re entering into, promise.
