The Idiot's Hour
About This Event
The Idiot's Hour at Baker Falls brings KOI, Nate Livingston, Posterboy, Torture and the Desert Spiders in a downtown rock/pop bill. Livingston's sets favor direct hooks and a reportorial focus on song; Posterboy works in concise, guitar-driven forms. KOI has performed at the Mercury Lounge, and Torture's volatile, improvisatory stretches underline the bill's contrast between structure and noise.
