Cybergrind, electronic death metal sounds.  Touring in support of their album "Public Humiliation."  Here's what the band says about it:  "These songs are bled directly from our veins. This is as emotionally honest and raw as we could be. Each song and each set of lyrics are the result of processing grief and loss and fear and anxiety and love and exhausting self-hatred and desperation. Thank you to everyone who has supported us since the inception of this project. This is from our hearts."

"how to survive a high rise hotel fire is a collective started by bassist Nikko Whitworth and oboist Haley Bird that strives to create community around co-regulation, meaning-making and nonsense-making through sound." 

Plus locals Jacob Audrey Taves and Blipvert commit to a noise battle dictated by a chess clock.
