Sunday Scaries Singalongs
About This Event
Monte, The Actor, and Torture & the Desert Spiders—three New York groups that work where rock/pop structure meets freer, open-ended passages—perform at Baker Falls. Their sets emphasize direct playing and ensemble listening, shifting between tight riffs, sudden fractures, and tempo- and texture-driven stretches that foreground arrangement over spectacle.
About the Artists
Torture & the Desert Spiders
Torture & the Desert Spiders is a New York City–based group working at the edges of Rock/Pop and Free music, often heard at Baker Falls. Their sets move between structured songs and open-ended passages, with a loose, responsive interplay that treats the room as part of the arrangement.
The Actor
The Actor is a group working at the seam between rock/pop structure and freer, open-ended playing. In New York City they’ve appeared at Baker Falls, including sets billed as *Sunday Scaries Singalongs*.
Monte
Monte is a group working in the overlap between rock/pop structure and freer, open-ended passages. Their background traces to a Los Angeles orbit, including long-running guitar work in major touring and studio settings and a stint in heavy metal, experience that shows up in tight shifts between riff and rupture.
