($15 - 12) All-Access
Old American Can Factory

Following the release of their highly acclaimed duo album ‘me madame (good news from wonderland)’ on D’Autres Cordes (d’ac 5002) earlier this year, Franck Vigroux (France) and Matthew Bourne (UK) make their debut appearance here in New York. A passion for intense counterpoint, analog synthesizers and extremes of texture ensure that this concert will be a mindfucker of unbelievable breadth and power. They will also be joined by pioneering NY saxophonist Ellery Eskelin.

“Like some electrifying new form of freak jazz, Me Madame literally fills all available space with its mutant genome. Vigroux and Bourne are the sonic geneticists that are to be credited with the discovery” (Exclaim)

“Franck Vigroux and Matthew Bourne” the pair of them using synths, keyboards, voice, guitar, turntables and ferocious electro-acoustic processing to create a delicious, fast-edit structure that, through rigorous planning, conveys exciting sensations of utter chaos, a helter-skelter ride to emancipation for your mind” (The sound projector)

Lambic is a style of Belgian ale that is spontaneously fermented from wild yeasts. Lambic is also a band featuring Paul Sullivan on guitars and effects, and Stephen Moses (alice donut) on drums, trombone, and effects. Lambic is spontaneously fermented music, free improvisation with a groove. Its joyful music that can and does go everywhere. Like it’s namesake, Lambic is always changing and evolving, often unpredictable but always exciting. We never know where it’s going to go, and that is the point. For the past year or so we’ve been joined by Percy Jones (Brian Eno, Brand X etc) on bass.

Lambic Jones:

Paul Sullivan – guitar and effects
Stephen Moses – drums / trombone
Percy Jones – bass
