Neptune / Shadow Riot / Icky Bits
Monday June 15 * doors at 7, music at 7:30 * $15
Neptune's origins trace to 1994 as a sculpture project by Boston artist/musician Jason Sidney Sanford, who forged the band's haphazard guitars and reluctant drums from scrap steel and found objects. Nine lineups, multitudes of releases, and hundreds of instruments later, the band continues to wrench its sound-spatter on homemade stringed, electronic, and percussion instruments to often confounded audiences around the world. In 2008, they released the album Gong Lake with avant arbiter Table of the Elements, home to art heroes Tony Conrad, Rhys Chatham and Faust. Following that, the band released two LPs with the esteemed label Northern Spy Records. In late 2021, Neptune released the damaged puzzling sprawler Mother of Millions, originally recorded in 2009 and currently available via cassette.
