L'Rain, medium.
About This Event
L'Rain and Medium appear at the Knitting Factory, pairing Taja Cheek's New York–based experimental project—named for her mother Lorraine and shaped in the period after her death—with Medium's spare, rhythm-driven post-punk from Nottingham's early UK independent scene. Both acts favor structure, texture and close listening over spectacle, foregrounding rhythm and restraint rather than theatricality.
About the Artists
L'Rain
L’Rain is the New York–based project led by multi-instrumentalist, composer, and curator Taja Cheek. Her work moves between rock and pop, electronic music, and hip-hop/R&B, using collage, looping, and careful arrangement to test what a “song” can hold.
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.
