Pendu presents: NY EYE & EAR FEST III
…a massive Annual Music and Arts Fete showcasing some of the most exciting bands, artists, and filmmakers currently living and working here in NYC. In addition, NYE&E assembles a Record Fair featuring NYC-based Record Labels and Vendors selling LPs, CDs, 7′’s, cassettes, lathes, comics, zines, stickers, and art prints. NYE&E exists to facilitate the introduction of new artists placing them side-by-side with the more well-known like an eclectic living mixtape of sound and vision. This is a festival for discovery – discover new bands + discover new art + buy new records + meet new people…
The title of the fest is inspired from the 1964 NY Eye & Ear Control soundtrack by Albert Ayler as well as the all-too-familiar signs seen daily in the subway tunnels by riders of the L-train of the infamous NY Eye & Ear Infirmary.

XENO & OAKLANDER
“Xeno and Oaklander is a minimal wave/synth duo from New York, comprising of Sean McBride (Martial Canterel, Three to forgotten) and Miss Liz Wendelbo (Xeno and Staccato, Three to forgotten). They began writing music in 2004. Miss Liz Wendelbo is French / Norwegian and Sean McBride is from Maryland. They record their songs live in their studio and play analogue synthesizers and instruments exclusively.”Listen: “SENTINELLE”

BLANK DOGS
“For all the musicians crafting grimy, lo-fi electro-rock, the man behind Blank Dogs takes it to another level, because it feels like he means it.” -The WireListen: “END OF SUMMER”

EFFI BRIEST
“With previous releases on Loog Records and Skinny Wolves Records, the languid post-Virgin Suicides-esque girls are now set to release their debut album on Sacred Bones. However, their music is anything but; against the driving guitars and an almost savage beating of drums, the girl-ish vocals chant through in a rough and lo-fi manner yet are eerily enchanting.” -DazedListen: “MIRROR RIM”

LOVE LIKE DELOREANS
“Love Like Deloreans is the electronic collective consciousness of band members Lorna Krier, Derek Muro, and Peter Pearson. Drawing from the heady krautrock of bands like Cluster to the infectious wish-I-could-stop-dancing grooves of 80s new wave, bubblegum, and disco, Love Like Deloreans creates a sound world that is somewhere between a submarine ride on europa and the best prom night ever.”Listen: “OLLIE MESS”

PASSIONS
“Inspired by the likes of Throbbing Gristle, Section 25 and Kraftwerk, Brooklyn trio Passions merge elements of dance and experimentation. In the words of Pitchfork: ‘Passions specialize in the darkest of dark-wave, blending minor-key tones with ghostly vocals and drum machines to evoke eerie atmospherics.’”Listen: “ENDLESS”

LITURGY
“Liturgy is a transcendental black metal band from Brooklyn, NY. Liturgy’s music is an ecstatic affirmation of becoming and an assault on the floating malaise of contemporary information-age life. The ebb and flow of their churning, swarming rhythms and melodies both models and fosters the eternal flux.”Listen: “ARCTICA”

BLONDES
“Blondes are two jam-prone Brooklyn dudes who met at Ohio’s Oberlin College and bonded over their love of musical improvisation and DFA. Both in their mid-20s, Zach Steinman and Sam Haar make spaced-out dance music that has roots in Giorgio Moroder synth workouts and Boards of Canada wispiness. Their songs are blissfully patient and tend to unfurl effortlessly, as if they have all the time in the world.” -PitchforkListen: “SPANISH FLY”

NAAM
“Naam manifests a signature brand of super-sonic and ultimately mesmerizing heavy psychedelia. Trance-like and punishing at times, this trio of psychonauts mold elements of classic psychedelia and prog with modern elements of jam-heavy bliss and apocalyptic amplitude.”Listen: “ICY ROW”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
TWIN STUMPS
“Twin Stumps are a band from NYC making ugly, dumb, lumbering noise-rock. ‘Like Flipper on steroids.’”Listen: “MISSING PERSONS”

HUMAN RESOURCES
“Human Resources’ racket is an irresistible one, even for titans of stone, Do-it-Yourself controlled charges of black energy detonating in the surface of a dying Sun, micro-fractures spread rapidly heralding that subtle collapse of all structures of which Einsturzende Neubauten’s industrial death march is the Jungian archetype, through the cracks bloom a thousand flowers of poisonous beauty to the drone of a sickly carousel tune.” — XXJFGListen: “YELLOW CAKE”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
FOSTERCARE
“Fostercare creates deeply personal and ritualistic electronic music and video art. With shoegazed walls of synth spiked with doomed 808 drums, hissing hi-hats and brutal handclaps, amidst a dirge of screwed vocals, glossolalia and whispers, Fostercare produces songs for lost souls.”Listen: “HEAT HIGH”

SOURCE OF YELLOW
“Avant Ghetto says, ‘Source of Yellow; a Brooklyn trio consisting of bass, drums, sax, and a plethora of electronics and assorted sound generators are a true beacon of light in[.....] the NYC music scene.’ Their new album is available at sourceofyellow.com.”Listen: “SALT MECHANICS”

POP 1280
“The highly unsettling industrial-tinged art punk of Pop. 1280 nods to the Birthday Party, Cop Shoot Cop, and similarly misanthropic acts.” – Timeout New YorkListen: “BEDBUGS”

LOOSE LIMBS
“Loose Limbs is a Brooklyn based rock band made up of mean, minimal drums, smart, throbbing bass lines, twangy guitar riffs, and bold, sweet girl-group vocals.”Listen: “RED HANDS”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
DIABLO
“DIABLO’s work is based in feedback circuits used for synthesis; recontextualized field recordings; texture/drone/nonmusical instruments (bare piano soundboard, cheap hollow body electric guitar, shanai, rebab, gambuh, chinese cymbals, hunting calls, junk metal, sheets of glass); and a performance presence characterized as animist/animalistic, harnessing the sounds within nature without imposing a deterministic melodic/rhythmic structure.”Listen: “REDGLAER”
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
MIRROR MIRROR
“NME called Mirror Mirror’s 2008 debut ‘one of the year’s best psych-rock concoctions’. This spring RVNG International will release their Interiors EP, a collection of songs that exhibit the same fascination with dark psychological states and secret societies, but in a seductive pop package.”Listen: “ODDFELLOWS”

LIVING DAYS
“Living Days is a new romantic pop group from Brooklyn, New York. The five love terrorists love each other dearly and include former members of Matisyahu, Coco Rosie, Lee Scratch Perry, and sci fi thrash band AQUI. Their unpredictable frontwoman, Stephonik Youth, is an underground legendary performer. Venus magazine writes, “Stephonik is of a reckless charisma, a dizzying combination of swaggering bravado and heart-wrenching emotion.” Long live true love and holding hands in the dark.”Listen: “GO OBLIVION”

THE GAMUT
“Post Futurists interested in creatures of the night, the physics of prisms, and the ways in which people and things are connected. Taking you to a place that is warm, shaded, and comforting with amalgamated beats to move the feet, anodic harmonies, and maximalist melodies. ‘This Brooklyn, NY duo blends noisy dreamscapes with primitive drumming accompanied with vintage drum machines, washed out 80’s synths and psychedelic vocals…’ – Sick of the Radio”Listen: “DREAMING OF THE NEXT GOODBYE”

WHITE RING
“Swampy atmospheres…run through varying levels of oppressive static…by the time it dissolves into high-pitched staccato moans, you don’t know whether to nod your head or hide under the covers.” – PitchforkListen: “FADED”

CULT OF YOUTH
“Fresh from a west coast jaunt with industrial pioneer and countercultural icon Boyd Rice, Brooklyn’s Cult Of Youth are quickly transcending their humble beginnings as a post-industrial home recording project and have flourished into a full-fledged neofolk collective. They are about to enter the studio together this July to record their third album which will be their first as a full band. Hurrah!”Listen: “EIHWAZ”

MEMORIAL GORE
“Memorial Gore is the extreme noise duo comprised of Andy Borsz (Slasher Risk) and Paul Haney (Rust Worship, Towering Heroic Dudes). Focusing on an ecstatic performance aesthetic, the two-some strive to unleash a pure onslaught of ugly sound through means both destructive and constructive.”Watch: LIVE AT TOMMY’S TAVERN
LAUREL HALO
“Finally, at maximum close-up, we behold a cathedral of stars. The well-oiled techno-utopia Halo channels with nothing but her voice and a few programmed arpeggios is that sweeping and macrocosmic, but it is full of small microcosms — sparkles, muted explosions — too.” –Visitation RitesListen: “EMBASSY”

C. LAVENDER

HALLUX
“Described by TimeOut NY as “cold, lumbering doom,” Hallux is the deformed brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Andrew Barker and features visual artist Jake Klotz, Hans Chew, and Jason LaFarge. Hallux’s roots stem from the mid-90’s underground music scene of Atlanta, Ga., where members first met and cut their teeth in bands such as Melts and Pineal Ventana.”Listen: “HALFCASTE”

GDFX
“Greg Fox initiated his solo project, GDFX, so that he could ‘have an opportunity to experiment outside of all the other projects that I’ve been involved with.’ Apparently he had a lot of spare time to kill, what with playing in Liturgy, Teeth Mountain, Family of Love and Dan Deacon’s touring ensemble, and running the record label Infinite Limbs.” -Impose MagazineListen: “CHOOSE YOUR EMANATION”

HEX BREAKER QUINTET
“An easy comparison is to the chopped-up jams of late ’60s Miles Davis, but the four push further into abstraction, a distant sweetness, like the vintage sci-fi animation that Telecult’s Mr. Matthews sometimes projects during their sets.” -Village VoiceWatch: LIVE AT GLASSLANDS
CHAOS*CM*MAJIK
“Strobs, Candles, Mirrors, Oscillators, Light and Darkness… Sound as ritual. a Psykikal connexyun 2 Cozmik currents … true majikal Will. CM is Todd Pendu.”

ELI KESZLER
“…austere solo percussion and dark matrixes of strings from this past collaborator with Jandek, with aspects of Scelsi and Dumitrescu, Keiji Haino and Biota. This is an amazing set that straddles 20th century avant garde thought, sound sculpture, free jazz and contemporary drone and is one of the most lovingly assembled packages to have passed through VT of late” -Volcanic TongueListen: “TILT 1″
