Stereo Mandrax: Erica Mancini’s Electronium w/ Brian Chase, Marc Ribot, Steve LaRosa, Erica Mancinni • WHITE OUT with Nava Dunkelman • Vorhees
About This Event
At Pianos, Erica Mancini’s Electronium brings Mancini’s electronics and songwriting into a lean, performance‑forward ensemble, here joined by drummer Brian Chase (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), guitarist Marc Ribot and Steve LaRosa. The bill pairs that set with WHITE OUT featuring percussionist Nava Dunkelman and downtown rock act Vorhees, foregrounding texture, endurance and band‑oriented dynamics rather than front‑person theatrics.
About Stereo Mandrax: Erica Mancini’s Electronium
At Pianos, *Stereo Mandrax: Erica Mancini’s Electronium* brings Mancini’s project into a downtown New York club setting, framed as a rock/pop bill with porous borders. Mancini is joined by Brian Chase (drummer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, also active in drone work), guitarist Marc Ribot, and Steve LaRosa, with additional sets from WHITE OUT with Nava Dunkelman and Vorhees. The night reads as a small survey of the city’s post-punk and improvising networks. One clear takeaway is how the lineup treats “song” as a flexible container rather than a fixed form.
