Stereo Mandrax: Erica Mancini’s Electronium New York Performances

At Pianos, *Stereo Mandrax: Erica Mancini’s Electronium* brings Mancini’s project into a downtown New York club setting, framed as a rock/pop bill with porous borders. Mancini is joined by Brian Chase (drummer for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, also active in drone work), guitarist Marc Ribot, and Steve LaRosa, with additional sets from WHITE OUT with Nava Dunkelman and Vorhees. The night reads as a small survey of the city’s post-punk and improvising networks. One clear takeaway is how the lineup treats “song” as a flexible container rather than a fixed form.
