The New Colossus Festival Presents: YUVEES, NEON WIRE, PLIGHT
About This Event
The New Colossus Festival presents Yuvees, NEON WIRE, and Plight at Sleepwalk. The lineup pairs Yuvees' guitar‑driven egg‑punk/post‑punk noise and clipped vocals with NEON WIRE's karaoke‑based shoegaze improvisations and Plight's texture‑focused, restrained shoegaze; sets emphasize abrasion, momentum, pacing and room acoustics over fixed arrangements.
About the Artists
Yuvees
Yuvees is an emerging group in New York City’s guitar-driven underground, associated with egg punk, post-punk, and noise rock. They have appeared at Alphaville, sharing bills with CS Cleaners, Black Beach, and Suburban Speed.
NEON WIRE
NEON WIRE is a New York–based group heard at Cassette, often appearing in the venue’s KARAOKE NIGHT series. Their set-up draws on shoegaze haze and free-form improvisation, using familiar karaoke structures as a starting point rather than a script.
Plight
Plight is an emerging shoegaze group on the New York City circuit, appearing on bills at Alphaville. The name nods to the 1988 David Sylvian and Holger Czukay collaboration, a reference point that hints at an interest in extended texture and atmosphere.
