James Murphy playing drums for reunited Dungbeetle at 'Radio Silence' show on Saturday
LCD’s final bow at MSG, 2011 (more by Dominick Mastrangelo)
As mentioned, Saturday (11/22) at Le Poisson Rouge is the release party for the new issue of Radio Silence which features Stephin Merritt, Tanya Donnelly, Matthew Friedberger, readings by Greil Marcus, Rick Moody and more. One of the more interesting performers is a reunion of late-’80s NYC art-punks Dungbeetle whose frontman Sam Lipsyte is now an established author. We noted that one of their biggest fans was a pre-LCD James Muphy who ended up as their sound guy. Well on Saturday, he’ll be playing with them as their drummer. Murphy hasn’t done much (any) non-DJ performing since LCD Soundsystem’s MSG farewell. Tickets are still available.
