NO-ViCE Kick-Off feat. Fort Lean + TV Baby // MUG // 9pm

vicepublicity — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 19:38:59 +0000

The youngest member of the ViCE family, No-ViCE throws frequent small shows throughout the school year showcasing dynamic artists who offer something different. We’re kinda like ViCE’s spunky renegade little sister. Like many of the bands that we bring, we’re fiercely independent when it comes to promoting and running our shows. In addition to bringing interesting new sounds to Vassar, No-ViCE aims to create an environment at each show in which students can get together regularly to enjoy great live music.

FORT LEAN

It’s January 2011. There’s two feet of snow on the ground. Just blocks from Brooklyn’s largest garbage dump, a group of people are huddled around a space heater in a wasted apartment above a metal shop. It seems like a place where things go to die. The view out the window reveals a strip club and a poultry slaughterhouse. Even by the standards of a city not known for its scenic beauty, it’s a dirty place.

It’s in this primordial ooze that Fort Lean was born. For five old friends tired of working shit jobs, this is the very beginning, but it feels like the last chance. “You can only make so many heros,” quips frontman Keenan Mitchell. “Sandwich art is exhilarating, but I feel like I’m starting to run out of ideas.”

Having holed up in their metal shop bunker, writing and rehearsing for the first two months of 2011, they played their early March debut in front of a sold out crowd. “Beach Holiday,” “Dreams (Never Come True),” “High Defintion,” and “Perfect” are the band’s first recordings. The result of a weekend recording session, the four songs were released for free on April 13.

Fort Lean is on an urgent mission. They’re ready to go. “What the fuck is everyone waiting for?” asks Mitchell. “The world’s about to end.”

TV BABY

OHWOW presents TV Baby, the self-titled debut from Brain McPeck and Matt McAuley from A.R.E. Weapons. More than a feature length album, TV Baby comes packaged in a genre defining 52 page book with artwork from Jim Jarmusch, Leo Fitzpatrick, Nate Lowman, Agathe Snow, Rita Ackermann, Spencer Product, Tom Jarmusch, Hanna Liden, Adam Greer, Aaron Bondaroff, Paul Sevigny, Ry Fyan, Aaron Young, Spencer Sweeney, Alan Vega, Dan Colen and Dash Snow plus many more.Each artist was given a page in the book and asked to develop imagery that defined their personal relationship with television. Submissions ran the gamut from Aaron Bondaroff’s logo inspired look back at the past twenty years of television to Jim Jarmusch’s classic photograph of William Burroughs from 1978. This collaborative project, two years in the making, captures the musical and visual energy of downtown culture.
