White Suns playing shows, including 1 tonight, Summerscreen w/ Man Forever, & Liturgy's NYC full-band reunion

by Wyatt Marshall

The experimental noise rock band White Suns has been on a tour that wraps up in their hometown of NYC TONIGHT (7/15) at Silent Barn with the Alan Licht and Aki Onda Duo and Lea Bertucci and Leila Lovell Duo. Admission is $8. Show starts at 8 PM.

After tonight’s show, the NYC band will play a few other local dates as well. They’ll play Summerscreen in McCarren Park on July 23 with Kid Millions’ (of Oneida) Man Forever project and a screening of John Waters’ 1990 Johnny Depp-starring film Cry-Baby. Like all Summerscreen shows, it’s free with the music starting at 6 PM and the movie at sundown.

Then, after that, they’ll open the Liturgy full-band reunion show at Pioneer Works on August 23 (159 Pioneer St) with Wreck & Reference. Tickets for that show are still available.

Like Wreck & Reference, White Suns are signed to the experimental and influential San Francisco label The Flenser. White Suns’ most recent album, Totem came out earlier this year on that label. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s insane. Utterly disorienting and schizophrenic‚ it’s desperate and furious, with as much noise as demented free jazz. Black metal nods mix freely with spoken word–the lyrics are a highlight. Give Totem a listen below.
