WIERD Presents a Very Rare Evening with BRONZE!
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009
This week WIERD proudly welcomes yet another Very Rarely and above all INORDINATELY exciting plethora of guest performers as our new VRiends from the misty cold bay area world BRONZE will be swingin through the weekly party for a live performance at midnight! Spoiled as we have much of the past few months by so many new killer bands such Twisted Wires, Silk Flowers, Cult of Youth, and Zola Jesus, Bronze combine electronics with traditional rock and accoustic instruments to meld a fantastic darkly hybridized sound that might be called something along the lines of 'Psychedelic Industrial Music' - like if Ethan Port of Savage Republic broke into Floyd's practice space in 1968, kicked young Syd out and called Holger Czukay from Can back to the future on the sell foam to join up on bass with Mr. Waters and they cruised on into the WIERD to get VR...fuck man top that, my goodness! :)

So as if that wasn't enough, our beloved investigateur of all vinylicious pleasures Jeffo! informed me earlier this week that we will also be joined by himself and the amazing Mr. ANDY BELL of British synth pop legends ERASURE! I will not be held responsible as starting any rumors here kiddies but I did coincidentally get several txts this week merely 'informing me' that Andy's VRiend and one of the true godfathers of minimal electronics himself who will only here be denoted as 'V' has also been spotted in the city in the past week while Erasure is recording their new record...so maybe...no way...but then again its WIERD you never knoo oh...Ah the synthywave pleasure that await us all tomorrow evening see you all in the frozen cold cloudzzzz....
