Earplugs are a must for this brutal noise super trio, but given the pedigrees of the three members, anti-anxiety meds might also be in order. According to leader Ben Hall, the group "tends toward the sort of electrified fury and pealing sheets of post-post-post-post Hendrix feedback as played by artsy jazzbo types, albeit artsy jazzbo types who aren't above beer and/or street fights." Percussionist Hall is half of quarter-speed free-jazz/noise group Graveyards along with Wolf Eyes' John Olson. The pair create brooding, nightmarish urban landscapes, akin to a Takemitsu score for a David Lynch film. Saxophonist Don Dietrich is one-third of legendary noise-mongers Borbetomagus, famed for the ear-piercing assault of their prepared instruments. And C. Spencer Yeh is a prolific noise experimentalist — so much so that Hall describes his "almost sluttiness of pairing up with the creme of the electro-acoustic and noise scenes." Together, the three promise to congeal into a frightening aural steamroller.
Mon., Sept. 15, 8 p.m., $10, with John Wiese, Morally Gray and Kudler/Fraser Duo, Circle of Hope, 1125 S. Broad St., second floor, bowerbird.org.
