About This Event
At Pianos, the lineup — Dominatrix, Bill Converse, Parlor Walls and Carlos Souffront — pairs a 1980s New York synthpop act whose single "The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight" helped shape freestyle with contemporary local practitioners. Souffront, a NYC electronic artist and DJ who plays long-form club sets at venues such as Nowadays, favors tactile rhythms and open-ended sound design, a measured approach against the band's club-era footprint.
