    About This Event

    Vethaken, We Used To Cut The Grass and the dance collective Art Thief perform at Alphaville. All three favor structured, ensemble-driven work: Vethaken and We Used To Cut The Grass deploy tempo shifts and tight sectional cues within an experimental-jazz/fusion frame, while Art Thief adapts the rhythmic logic of math rock and the angular structures of art rock into coordinated movement.
