February

Jonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend — as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham, the rock excursions of La Monte Young and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet.

“Wedding the brutal severity of Delta country boogie and Seventies German pulse rock – all dead-ahead motion and mounting detail…Epic.” - Rolling Stone

“Somewhere between Sonic Youth and Steve Reich is the drummer Jonathan Kane. Interested in the crossroads of new-music iconoclasm and experimental rock, he has a drummers sense of steady dynamic development and an unapologetic love of noise. Virtuosic.” - New York Times

“Intensely propulsive motorik blues, its muscularity and greased relentlessness is never less than exhilarating.” - Uncut
