L'Rain, medium.
About This Event
L'Rain and Medium play the Knitting Factory in a bill that pairs Taja Cheek's New York–based experimental project—rooted in neo‑psychedelic art‑pop and shaped by personal history—with Medium's late‑70s Nottingham post‑punk, noted for spare structures and rhythmic friction. Both favor structure and texture over spectacle, making the evening oriented toward close listening and restrained interplay.
About the Artists
L'Rain
L’Rain is the performance project of New York-based experimental musician Taja Cheek, working at the crossroads of rock/pop and hip-hop/R&B with a neo-psychedelic, art-pop edge. The name traces back to her mother, Lorraine, and the earliest L’Rain recordings were shaped in the period after her death.
Medium
Medium is a post-punk group that first took shape in Nottingham, England, active in its initial run from 1978 to 1983. Their work sits in the early U.K. independent network, shaped by spare structures and a focus on rhythm and friction.
