Squidco Presents: Greg Stuart & Joe Panzer

Wednesday, February 19, 2014     Purchase Tickets



8:00pm-11:00pm

Collectively, the duo of Joe Panzer (Clearing, Polluted) and Greg Stuart (Michael Pisaro) are credited with electricity, friction and gravity. Theirs is definitive noise music; taking a form that is generally tedious, laborious, uneventful, and (in some cases) unlistenable, to a place that's entertaining , provocative, and genuinely overwhelming, thanks to Joe Panzer's intense noise background and Greg Stuart's meticulous sonic abstractions.

Opening the show: Lapyss & Authorless and subterrene



Snacks provided, feel free to BYOB.

Squidco •  928 North 4th St •  Wilmington, NC 28401• 910-399-4847

$10.00 - Tickets available in advance or at the door.

On Sunday, February 23, 2014, Tatsuya Nakatani returns to Squidco for a solo show. Tickets and information are available now on our Facebook account or in Squidco's ticket category.
