Electronic music wizards Matmos will appear this weekend at Le Poisson Rouge for shows on Friday and Saturday night (July 18 and 19). nyctaper will be there to record Friday’s performance.
The combination of the superb sound system at LPR and the unique electronic gadgetry of Matmos promises to be a supremely interesting experience. When we last saw Matmos at Lincoln Center almost exactly one year ago, the concert setting and venue were integral to the live experience.
Matmos will be on tour for the remainder of July in support of their new CD Supreme Balloon. The dates listed below follow the two NYC shows:
Jul 20 2008 11:30 CKLN-FM 88.1 Toronto Toronto, Ontario
Jul 21 2008 8:00 The Music Gallery Toronto, Ontario
Jul 23 2008 8:00 The Wexner Center Columbus, Ohio
Jul 24 2008 8:00 The Detroit Institute of the Arts Detroit, Michigan
Jul 25 2008 8:00 Andy Warhol Museum Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Jul 27 2008 8:00 The Lakeshore Theater Chicago, Illinois
I recorded the entire amazing performance of Matmos last night and sound quality is spectacular. By agreement with the artist, we will post this show when the tour is over in 10 days.
