Smasher of a booking from Save Your Widsom Teeth here. Brooklyn’s Zs are bracing minimalists, high on crashing soundscapes and saxophone abuse (my favourite kind of abuse). Itchy dance party scenes predicted. Doublegood support too: Team Brick will deliver unpredictable doses of crumpled electronics, busted throat singing and wrong guitar, while Bambikill’s promised mixture of tones and wails sounds tailored to my alleyway. We’ll find out. TOGETHER.
Save Your Wisdom Teeth presents…
Zs
Avant-rock trio from Brooklyn. For fans of Black Dice, This Heat, Boredoms etc. New record out on The Social Registry (home to Gang Gang Dance).
Zs was founded in 2000 and is Sam Hillmer (tenor saxophone), Ben Greenberg (electric guitar), Tony Lowe (electric guitar), and Ian Antonio (drum set). While Zs’ music has been variously categorized as no-wave, noise, and post-minimalist, it is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic communication, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future rites and ritual. Zs has performed in lofts, galleries, basements, rock clubs, and concert halls across North America and Europe with The Locust, Gang Gang Dance, Animal Collective, Battles, The Dirty Projectors, Dan Deacon, Peter Brotzman and Han Bennick, and Louis Andriessen. Zs currently records for The Social Registry record label.
