Grace Bergere,Erica Mancini,Marc Ribot,KnifeThrower,Big Lazy — live event
Grace BergereKnife Thrower Big Lazy Erica Mancini feat. Marc RibotGrace Bergere grew up in NYC’s Downtown Manhattan. Her heavy atmospheric sound only adds to the impact of her carefully crafted, lyric driven songs. Her work has been compared to that of Elliott Smith and P.J. Harvey’s.She has shared bills with artists such as Gogol Bordello, Shilpa Ray, Jon Spencer, Kaizers Orchestra and most recently opened for the Yeah Yeah Yeah's at The Beacon Theater in NYC in July of 2025. “Shortly before he checked out, Leonard Cohen asked if you want it darker. Bergere delivers that on every song.”-Michael Fremmer in Tracking Angle on A Little Blood “Grace Bergere is real rocknroll. Guitar slinger extraordinaire, songwriter par excellence, a badass and a sweetheart. What more can you ask for? Yeah, I’m a fan.” - Jim JarmuschKnife Thrower makes music that is slightly unwieldy, odd, yet crudely sophisticated, like throwing a knife.Founded by former Skeleton Key frontman Erik Sanko, Knife Thrower draws on his past experiences with James Chance and the Contortions, John Cale, The Lounge Lizards, and Yoko Ono and sounds like the illegitimate offspring of Tom Waits and Phillip Glass.“Knife Thrower has saxophones that think they’re giant insects and the loud parts are headbangin’.” - David Yow of The Jesus Lizard“To say this band is totally original is a big understatement. They’ve managed to find a sound that’s completely unique but still delivers, and in this day and age that’s very rare indeed!- Danny Elfman Big Lazy has flourished for over two decades in New York’s downtown music scene, playing their singular brand of noir and twang from iconic NYC clubs - Tonic, The Knitting Factory, Barbès to the The Museum of Modern Art.Simultaneously gothic and modern, noir and pastoral, Big Lazy’s music conjures images from big sky country to seedy back rooms with deftness and a cinematic clarity. With sparse instrumentation (Stephen Ulrich - guitar, Yuval Lion - drums, Andrew Hall - bass) the trio forges a new American music from archetypes in Rock, Jazz and the Avant Garde.The band’s seven releases include collaborations with NYC luminaries Marc Ribot, Steven Bernstein and Mick Rossi (Philip Glass Ensemble) and Charlie Giordano (E Street Band). Big Lazy’s filmic music continues to evolve and their legendary live shows have landed them bookings at venues as varied as Jazz a Vienne, Opéra de Lyon, UCLA’s Royce Hall and The Whitney Museum of American Art."Big Lazy, the elegantly gritty instrumental trio led by the extraordinary guitarist Stephen Ulrich, plays stunningly beautiful music that evokes everything from truckers' romps to the haunting film scores of Bernard Herrmann." - The New YorkerCome witness the Debut Performance of Erica Mancini’s new project featuring Marc Ribot and Steve LaRosa!Erica Mancini (of Gogol Bordello, La Banda Chuska, Smokey’s Round Up, Abazaba) showcases her latest obsession - an ultra elusive monophonic vacuum tube synthesizer-accordion. It was developed in the 1950’s to function as the bass instrument in large accordion orchestras, but soon found a home in Karlheinz Stokhausen’s compositions. Mancini will be joined by the legendary guitarist and composer Marc Ribot (of Tom Waits, Elvis Costello, Vinicio Capossela, John Zorn, Los Cubanos Postizos) as well as multi-instrumentalist and composer Steve LaRosa (Abazaba, Prostitution).$20 ADV | $25 DOS | 21+
