Jacob Dior presents 444
About This Event
Jacob Dior, a New York rock/pop artist known for short, close-listening sets at Pianos, presents 444 at Mood Ring as an electronic/DJ bill. He has shared bills with Ms Nyology (DMV), Dev.N (CHI), Neu Neu and Noah G, and his live approach—favoring direct songcraft over spectacle—frames what to expect despite a modest streaming profile (423 Spotify listeners).
About 444
The .444 Marlin (10.9×57mmR) is a rifle cartridge designed in 1964 by Marlin Firearms and Remington Arms. It was designed to fill the gap left when the older .45-70 cartridge was not available in new lever-action rifles; at the time it was the largest lever-action cartridge available. The .444 resembles a lengthened .44 Magnum and provides a significant increase in velocity. It is usually used in the Marlin 444 lever-action rifle. Currently, Marlin, now owned by Ruger Firearms, does not offer the .444 chambering in any of their rifles. It remains to be seen if they will bring the chambering back into production. It is available in new production Rossi R95 rifles however.
