The Bunker presents The Ospreys, The Woods, Deadbeat, Crackhaus, DJ Meteo, Secret Frequency Crew, and Bus at subTonic
$5
We are proud to present the NYC stop of the ~scape 5 year anniversary tour. ~scape is Stefan Betke's (aka Pole) record label. There is a $5 cover tonight and we suggest showing up early as capacity is limited and we are expecting a large crowd. Both Deadbeat full lengths on ~scape have been spun many times in the early evening at the Bunker, and they usually bring the trainspotters running up to find out what the hell it is. Scott Monteith (aka Deadbeat) makes impossibly deep digital dub that somehow avoids all of the dub cliches and puts a fresh spin on the decades-old genre. As amazing as the albums are, you really have to see the live set to fully appreciate the sound. Also appearing will be Crackhaus, which is Scott's other project with fellow Canadian Stephen Beaupre. Their sound will definitely appeal to fans of micro-house superstars like Akufen and the Perlon crew, but they put their own humorous spin on the genre. Bus is Daniel Meteo and Tom Theil. They have released and album and 2 EP's on ~scape, along with some other material for Meteo's own Meteosound label. They are known for bringing a hip-hop sound to dub, or maybe it's the other way around. Daniel Meteo of Bus is also a very fine DJ, and he will be filling in the gaps along with Eggfooyoung of the Secret Frequency Crew throughout the evening. The Woods: members of Broke Review, Jah Division and Home come together in a new project with the addition of comic book artist/musician/singer/renaissance woman Leslie Stein, playing nonsense free songs and instrumentals for listeners of all ages. Some folk, some psych, some other home-made scrapbook reflective, repititous non-pop pop. The Ospreys: Brooklyn based country folk psych power, offering nods to Fairport Convention with a little more dirt. The Ospreys are a new electric old time band. Imagine if Emmylou Harris had gone to Frisco, dosed a few times, and started a project with Roger McGuinn. They have this to say: "He who walks in the way these songs point will be manful in necessary fight, fair in trade, loyal in love, generous to the poor, tender in the household, prudent in living, plain in speech, merry upon occasion, simple in behavior, and honest in all things."-Sidney Lanier
