Natural Information Society's revolutionary grooves need little introduction, as they have been on the vanguard of ecstatic minimalism, earthen rhythms, and avant freak-funk since 2010. The longtime quartet of devotional bassist/Guimbri player Joshua Abrams, harmonia-sorceress Lisa Alvarado, percussion wizard Mikel Patrick Avery, and bass-clarinetist Jason Stein will vibrationally transport, ala their latest sidelong-voyage LP, Perseverance Flow.
Glyders also need no intro, as they have been brandishing their dusty, motorik, groove-laments since 2014. They've brought their live energy and cowgirl in the sands boogie to Drag City as well, for their space-chooglin' LP, Forever.
Shravan Raghuram has been tearing up the regional exploratory music scene on a near sonic pilgrimage level, jamming in a plethora of far-out configurations that range from cosmic jazz, rockist rumble, to honed trances. He'll be appearing in a duo with woodwindist Kevin King, in a setting of drums and flute.
