    About This Event

    At the Knitting Factory, PPLCTRL and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black share a bill. PPLCTRL presents a local Rock/Pop solo practice marked by concise, structured delivery and a modest digital footprint, while The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black works in horror punk/riot grrrl/gothic collage, using character and costuming to foreground narrative and mood over virtuoso display.

    About the Artists

    PPLCTRL

    PPLCTRL is an emerging Rock/Pop solo project seen on New York City bills, including sets at the Knitting Factory. With a small but traceable digital footprint—about 155 Spotify followers and a popularity score in the low teens—the work reads as local, scene-based practice rather than mass release.
