Bugs, In the Pines, Wyyvrd
About This Event
Alphaville's bill features Bugs, In the Pines and Wyyvrd. Bugs refers to the Warner Bros. cartoon character Bugs Bunny, created in the late 1930s and voiced originally by Mel Blanc; In the Pines works in a neo‑psychedelic register, filtering traditional "In the Pines" Appalachian material through amplified textures and restraint; Wyyvrd comes from New York's club and experimental circuits with links to Chinese R&B and mandopop — both In the Pines and Wyyvrd prioritize atmosphere and measured pacing over spectacle.
