About Cruelty Bacchanal
At The Stone at The New School, Shardik presents *Cruelty Bacchanal*, a set that threads rock and pop shapes through a jazz-minded sense of time. The group is a familiar presence in New York’s smaller rooms, including Gold Sounds, and has shared bills with acts such as Chaser, Microwaves, and Radio Shock. The arrangements stay pared down, built on pulse and clean lines rather than display. In that restraint, the music makes a case for a downtown tradition where precision carries the drama.
