    About This Event

    Maneka, Anna Altman and Hellgirl bring overlapping Hip-Hop/R&B sets to the Knitting Factory, drawn from their work in New York’s indie and mixed-genre rooms. Each favors clear, direct vocals and tight rhythmic phrasing over spectacle, and their shared history on small-room bills—from Afternoon Bike Ride to Peaer and Wendy Eisenberg—places the lineup in the city’s cross-genre circuit.
