Some call it Plunderphonics, while others might call it sample-core.
Regardless of what you?d name it, this astonishing triple bill brings
together 3 of the world?s most renowned experimental musicians for a very
special night down on the Lower East Side. Hailing from the Bay area, both
Wobbly and Blevin Blectum have redefined what electronic music is, and what
it can do. They will be joined here tonight by brash new comer Donna
Summer.
Jon Leidecker has been producing collage-based music under the name Wobbly
since 1990. He?s released CD?s on Kid 606?s Tigerbeat6, Phthalo, and the
aptly named Illegal Art. He?s lit up audiences at the Royal Festival Hall
in London, Sonar in Barcelona, and has been performing lately with Matmos,
Negativland and People Like Us. The Wire says: "Wobbly galvanizes digitally
corroded samples into a complex array of seasick yet strangely catchy loops,
before quickly discarding them in search of another set of quirky rhythms."
Tonight he?ll be doing all sorts of shit that will make you wonder why you
haven?t written about him before.

Blevin Blectum, formerly 50% of the massively lauded Blectum From Blechdom,
presents "Traffica", a multi-media collaboration with video artist Ryan
Junell. "It is a lost comedic delusional paranoid fantasy fixative on the
giving and receiving of traffic tickets in San Francisco." Rumor has it
they?ll be dressing up all funny. This is, incredibly enough, Blevin?s
first real show in New York City.

Local boy Donna Summer (AKA Jason Forrest) takes the stage tonight with an
overconfident stride, and a penchant for berserk theatrics. His latest UK
album has been creating a stir internationally, and has been tearing up
dance floors from Tokyo to Berlin. The current issue of XLR8R raves: "With
David Lee Roth?s charm, Keith Richard?s skill, and a pseudonym shared by
disco?s greatest diva, Donna Summer single-handedly inducted his computer
into rock and roll?s economy of sex appeal."
