The two talented individuals, Gordon and YoshimiO, will be providing attendees with an unforgettable improvisational set. Both artists come from similar musical backgrounds. Gordon is an experienced rock veteran that has been creating experimental rock for more than 30 years. During these years, Gordon was a member in the influential rock band Sonic Youth in which she was the vocalist and played the guitar and bass. YoshimiO was also initially in the band the Boredoms where she played the drums, guitar, keyboard, and trumpet. While currently being a member of several other bands, YoshimiO is also a member of the Free Kitten band with Kim Gordon and Julie Cafritz. It’s almost as if YoshimiO and Gordon were meant to play together as they both have a similar improvisational style, which they will display for those attending the event.
It is without question that the wide range of brilliant artists will be providing memorable performances. Whether its Gordon and YoshimiO’s improvisational show, Banjee Ball’s captivating performance on ballroom culture, or Michael Watt’s chopped and screwed set, visitors are going to enjoy an indelible musical experience.
