We mentioned last month that Knoxville, Tennessee’s upcoming Big Ears Festival (March 28-30) will include legendary SunnO))) / Khanate / Burning Witch guitarist Stephen O’Malley in a variety of collaborative roles. That appearance turned out to be one of a string of upcoming international solo and ensemble appearances for O’Malley. BrooklynVegan and DesertShore are pleased to announce that we’ll be co-presenting O’Malley’s upcoming New York City appearance on March 26 at Baby’s All Right. Local noise/drone projects Alberich (last seen at the final 285 Kent show) and Ancient Ocean (who is presenting this show with us as DesertShore) will join the lineup as well. Tickets are on sale now.

Check out all of O’Malley’s upcoming dates below, and watch some footage of his past solo work to get a sense of what to expect…
