    About This Event

    PPLCTRL and The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black play the Knitting Factory, pairing an emerging, scene-rooted solo project with a theatrical, genre-collage performance practice. PPLCTRL's work reads as structured, direct rock/pop with a small digital footprint (about 155 Spotify followers), while The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black channels horror-punk, riot grrrl and gothic-rock traditions through character, costuming and narrative-driven sets.
