    About This Event

    At the Knitting Factory, Freedom Attic appears on a bill with Self-Help and Nettle. Freedom Attic keeps songs lean and forward-moving, arranging them to flex in performance and favoring material made for the room rather than online reach. Nettle and Self-Help lean further into free-music approaches: Nettle lets structures shift in real time, while Self-Help treats the stage as a social, open-ended space.

    About the Artists

    Freedom Attic

    Freedom Attic

    Freedom Attic is a New York–based rock/pop artist who appears in the city’s smaller-room circuit, including the Knitting Factory. On bills with groups like Self-Help and Nettle, Freedom Attic sits adjacent to the free-music/performance scene, where process and spontaneity often shape the night.

    Self-Help

    Self-Help

    math rock

    Self-Help is a group working in the loose, open-ended space of “Free” performance in New York City, with regular appearances at Cassette. Their events, including KARAOKE NIGHT, treat the stage as a social tool as much as a musical one, drawing on the everyday language of self-directed coping and reinvention.

    Nettle

    Nettle

    Nettle is a group working in the free-music lane, appearing in New York City rooms that prize close listening, including Sleepwalk. Their recent billings place them alongside The Heaven and Gilah, most notably on a New Colossus Festival–presented night that framed three distinct approaches to sound in one set.
