Tense Forms Showcase Series Presenting music, art, drama, and more.
the Notes and Scratches
With fuzzy guitars, trumpet, and violin, the Notes and Scratches make creaky warm pop songs to dance and sleep and sing with. Featuring members of the autumn-waking, the Delta Still, the Treatment and Andy Wagner’s band, the Notes and Scratches are a kind of Tense Forms supergroup…
the Treatment
The band’s classic post-punk sound is taking new detours into sonic experiment and noise all the while maintaining a gritty foundation for their scream-a-long choruses. This performance will celebrate the release of the Treatment’s new seven inch Rich Man Dreams.
the archivists
the archivists play music that swoops and sometimes grits in mindful and lively rocking. With members of the autumn-waking and the Treatment, the archivists use drums, bass, organ, guitars, voices and clarinet to share their thoughts.
Radiant Darling
Radiant Darling makes the most lovely striking powerful mush of folk music, jazz music, and pop music. Uncanny haunting and sweet vocals collide and intersect with pointed and subtle drumming to explode and soothe.
Andy Wagner
Andy Wagner makes heartbreak gravel songs, that according to Fake Jazz, “follows in the line of Uncle Tupelo, using a healthy mix of country-influenced rock, but has more of a western element and an edginess, which may be from his strange but affecting vocals.”
