New Nothing
In response to the (age-old) complaint that there's nothing new happening in music, EMPAC modestly announces New Nothing, a series of concerts featuring national and international musicians working in the hybridized terrain of experimental-leaning popular music. These groups exemplify a global reality in which music hasn't just crossed borders but made them irrelevant. Popular music will never be the same.
New Nothing: Extra Life + Dan Deacon with Nuclear Power Pants
Saturday February 13, 8:00 PM | Studio 1 - Goodman
A thrashing, zig-zagging, gorgeously heavy band that reconciles the 21st and 13th centuries mixes it up with two beacons of exuberant indie noise dance.
New Nothing: Josephine Foster + Victor Herraro
Friday April 2, 8:00 PM | Concert Hall
In the final New Nothing of the season, two charismatic performers offer different takes on the construction of the song and the role of the human voice.
