Kassem Mosse

The Bunker are throwing their Northside Showcase at Public Assembly tonight (6/15) with a pretty solid lineup taking up both rooms in the Brooklyn venue. The back room will feature German electronic artist Kassem Mosse, darkwavers Led Er Est (who released their first album for Sacred Bones, The Diver, last month and have had releases on Wierd and Captured Tracks), Mike Servito, and Berlin's Jonathan Schmidt. The front room gets Kranky artists Keith Fullerton Whitman and Raglani, and Spectrum Pools artist Michael Pollard, along with JD Emmanuel, Rene Hell, Mindscraper, Spinoza, and Iso.

Advance tickets are on sale, no-fee, cash-only tickets are available at Other Music in Manhattan and Halcyon in Brooklyn, or you can get them at the door for an extra $5 or try to get in with your Northside badge. The flier for this show is below, along with song streams from some of the artists.

Tonight's show is one of a few North American dates this month for Kassem Mosse, but he'll return in September for Warm Up at PS1 on September 1 with James Holden, Om Unit, and Silent Diane. Tickets for Warm Up go on sale this Monday (6/18). All Kassem Mosse dates are listed below.
