Two Thumbs Down: Rock Band in New York

About Two Thumbs Down

Two Thumbs Down is a New York City–based group working in free-form performance, with a regular footprint at Purgatory. Their appearances often take the shape of communal, low-barrier events, including the series DOWNSTAIRS: Karaoke (Free). They have shared bills with DJ TK, Porcelain Vivisection, Clown Syndrome, Uncle Blender, Consumer Culture, Grace Givertz, Adelyn Strei, and Hannah Thompson. The work favors immediacy over polish, treating the room and the crowd as part of the piece.
