Iceblink / Crying Laughing / Jeff Tobias
About This Event
Iceblink, Crying Laughing and Jeff Tobias share a bill at Pianos, combining band-forward rock/pop with quieter ambient-jazz and folk-tinged textures. Iceblink’s sets favor atmosphere and pacing; Crying Laughing’s name nods to the phrasing of Labi Siffre’s 1972 album, and Tobias brings collaborative, room-shaped momentum from projects like Stereo Mandrax.
