    About This Event

    A four-act bill at the Knitting Factory brings together boyscoutmarie, Smith Taylor, Calder The Destroyer and Avatareden. The lineup pairs boyscoutmarie's structured electronic sets—shaped by DIY rooms such as Purgatory and Elsewhere—with Calder's direct songcraft in curated contexts and Avatareden's emphasis on ensemble interplay and steady dynamics; Smith Taylor appears as well.

    About the Artists

    Boyscoutmarie

They have shared bills with Slow Down Sunny, FedX, Mayo, Bloody Knuckles, Cam Barnes, Signal Coast, th3prism, and Crate, moving through the same DIY circuits that shape much of the city’s late-night programming.
