Local garage outfit the Orwells celebrate the release of their major-label debut Disgraceland tonight at Schubas—it’s a free show, but you had to win tickets to get in. If you wanted to go but wound up without a way in there are plenty of other excellent shows to see this evening and throughout the weekend.
“British producer Joshua Leary, also known by the cryptic stage name Evian Christ, first started attracting attention in online electronic-music circles for a series of tracks (collected on the 2012 anthology Kings and Them) that reimagined chopped-and-screwed Houston hip-hop as lo-fi ambient techno,” writes Miles Raymer. “And when Kanye began assembling a dream team of digital avant-gardists to create his noisy masterpiece Yeezus, Leary was a natural choice. In March he released a four-song EP, Waterfall (Tri Angle), that adds big-room EDM to the mix, along with more outre styles such as footwork and gabber, and ends up sounding not unlike an interestingly bad trip at a mega-rave.” Dutch E. Germ opens.
