3/26/10: BROKEN WATER | LOWER DENS | YUHASZ | HOUNDING HOURS @ Secret Art Space

Secret Art Space
Southside Bethlehem, PA (contact me for directions)
Friday, March 26th, 2010
8pm

BROKEN WATER (K Records, Night People. on tour from Olympia, WA)
Post-Punk/Psychedelic/Shoegaze
"I really like your band, nice fuckin work. Broken Water are a heavy, psychedelic band. Not in a hot desert way or even taking your shirt off in the sun while enjoying drugs way. You are definitely wearing a coat. Your fingers are numb, your feet are wet, and it's been dark for a very long time. Then you come home and warm up next to a wood stove. Broken Water is the soundtrack for watching large icicles fall from high places. That's a heavy trip." - Jared Warren of the Melvins, Big Business, and KARP
"Besides having one of the best names in rock, Broken Water has a wall of sound that would make Phil Spector jealous... a sound that rivals My Bloody Valentine, and reluctantly Sonic Youth, but in a way that shuns Blonde Redhead... a sound that is unique: all it's own, a sound that has no rival. Not having seen them live yet, makes me want to... and I can't wait: a hurricane of sound that is most likely to be a hurricane of energy." - Vern Rumsey of Unwound

YUHASZ (Chris Horn: known associate of Pocket Gallows, Tile, GSGA, etc.)
Dark, bleak, beautiful, quiet, simple and concise. Slightly menacing, while beautiful and coldly organic. Something different and wonderful every time. I am very Grateful to the Commissioner for gracing this show. Love the Man, Love his work.
Excerpts from his release on Different Lands:

LOWER DENS feat. Jana Hunter (Gnomonsong. Baltimore, MD)
New Wave / Experimental / Post punk. I've only heard a couple things from them, but I'm very excited to be able to have Jana Hunter's latest project come and perform, and I hope you will be, too! One of my favorite musicians.
