Thanks to everyone who came out to support this Very Rare WIERD evening! Never thought I'd live to see the day when 425 people would come from all over the country to hear minimal electronic and experimental industrial music on the best new massive sound system in New York City, pretty clear there's great and exciting hope for this music to have a real presence in this country finally I really feel ! Couldn't believe it when after inspired by Wolf Eyes' mindblowing 28 minute set Eric jumped up on stage and grabbed Sean from Martial Canterel's Roland SH101 and played the ABC melodies live with 2 encores, sent chills all down our spines, truly inspiring to see frozen cold analogue electronics blazing the night away...think everyone could really 'feel it inside'!

The photos and videos are slowly floating in, here's a few to start, many more to come after we're all recovered:

Absolute Body Control - 1 / 2 / 3
Wolf Eyes - 1
Martial Canterel - 1
