Octarine 4 ACLU, Sun, Feb 19

https://www.facebook.com/events/184661225350928/

The Fennec has had just about enough of this SHIT. And so, in recognition of the reliable antidotes to the parasite using the people's government as its host, those being joy and constitutional lawyers, the golem that is Octarine has been summoned to its ancestral lands, those being the Lower East Side, to stomp the earth, its mother and ours, to raise shekels for the latter through the former. Dare you not spurn it. (That's my prosaic way of saying this is a fundraiser for the American Civil Liberties Union, coinciding with the Not My President Day demonstration at noon Monday, February 20, locally in Columbus Circle, expressly to expedite the removal of the usurper Donald Trump from the White House & frustrate his intents until he is. If you ain't down with that, we ain't down with you; vamoose.) THE FENNEC PRESENTS OCTARINE 4 ACLU: TRUMP WILL EAT HIMSELF Sun, February 19, 2017 (#NotMyPresident Day Eve) The Map Room at Bowery Electric 327 Bowery NYC, NY Doors @ 7, Show @ 8 $15 admission (every cent goes to the ACLU)

http://www.theboweryelectric.com/map-room-show-list/ BRIGHT PRIMATE is a futurepunk duo from the dystopian submerged city of Boston Massachusetts in the year 2199. Inspired by psycho-acoustic images from both the deep past and far future, their signature sound of raw hardware chiptune synthesis and powerful vocal stylings evoke both gracefully mutated pop and blistering electronic noise rock. http://brightprimate.tk/ hunterquinn Aggressive melancholy/ purveyor of spooky darkness/ writer of sad songs. Started in Cincinnati, OH, now hunterquinn is based out of Brooklyn and only continues to write cyberpunk inspired dark industrial chip music for this dystopian world we find ourselves in. http://Hunterquinn.bandcamp.com/ Sam Mulligan plays fun rock songs with silly lyrics, distorted guitars, and gameboys. https://sammulligan.bandcamp.com/ Visuals Azuria Sky A girl who fell in love with a robot. Finding the equilibrium between math and emotion. Multimedia artist using a Nintendo Gameboy http://soundcloud.com/azuriasky —emdash— The visualist name of Jessen Jurado, who concocts live visual art from shapes and abstract art with the diminutive free program OpenTZT. http://jessenjurado.com

Below are some highlights of her log; the full set can be found here.

The Fennec Presents OCTARINE XL

Brooklyn's most active chiptune salon levels up! No, it won't be Octarine's 40th edition; that won't be for another decade at this rate. But it just might be someone's 40th birthday.

$10 admission! $2 raffle tickets! OPEN MIC (interest pending)!

In case you've never heard of Octarine before, DON'T PANIC! You're still cool. It's an irregularly-occurring salon of the necessary and necessarily-fresh acts in the chiptune scene. exileFaker http://exilefaker.info/

Alex Kiefer has composed music for the Nintendo Game Boy as ��exileFaker’, inspired by the energy of the NYC chip music scene & the possibilities of the LSDj software. His sound is the result of careful selection from among the products of who knows what unconscious processes. Thorazine Unicorn http://thorazineunicorn.bandcamp.com/ NYC electrogoth trio blends machinistic industrial beats with poppy chipmusic, haunting harmonies, & lyric poetry. The sensibilities of the past with an eye toward the future. Your history professors for the apocalypse. KRT_ KRT_ is the newbie in the neck of chiptune's woods yet is not a stranger within the Linux environment. Her music is inspired by IRL late night pentesting & basement squatting at your mom's house. visuals by Claire Kwong http://clairekwong.com/ Claire makes interactive art to dramatize her personal experience with technology. Working across a variety of media, including digital, installation & performance art, her work explores how technology mediates human identity, interaction & the body.

OCTARINE XL

Saturday, March 5 at 7 PM

No, it won't be Octarine's 40th edition; that won't be for another decade at this rate. But it just might be someone's 40th birthday. And, dare I think it, extra large. In case you've never heard of Octarine before, DON'T PANIC! You're still cool. It's an irregularly-occurring salon of the necessary and necessarily-fresh acts in the chiptune scene. Just leaving this here for now so people can plan accordingly. Details forthcoming.

The Fennec Presents OCTARINE: Email You A Drink

Thursday, June 11 SUPERCOLLIDER 609 Fourth Ave., BK $5 Featuring The Top-Notch Top-Knot L-TRON in dueling lo-fi with ADIL SOUBKI The Meatspace Manifestation of Molly Millions HEDONISM BIT and The Answer To Your Childhood Question AZURIA SKY Visuals by Interstate Man of Mincery VJ MONEYFACE L-TRON L-Tron completed his first symphony at the age of 2 using only a touch tone phone and a Yak Bak. For decades he has steeped his dance music in a bouquet of filth. Today, he has no choice but to lick his cartridges clean before each set. Smear a bucket of melted Tamagotchis to create progressive house music, and you're listening to L-Tron. His melodies will awaken lush visions, blowing the dust off your forgotten daydream. Possessing you with dirty drops, Megaman's dick, and lowest intentions... you'll lose your shit and never get it back. http://soundcloud.com/l-tron ADIL SOUBKI Adil makes computer music on the DMG-01. He’ll sample anything and color it with the gameboy. Heavily influenced by sailor moon, Adil is prepared to bet all of his pokemon cards or be vanquished to the shadow realm. http://soundcloud.com/adil-soubki HEDONISM BIT Driven by dark noises and inspired by 80s goth from the UK, Hedonism Bit creates harsh brooding music that may just make you dance. Clinging to dissonance and layered rhythms like it were the last beer in the fridge, she performs music to help comfort you ....uncomfortably. http://soundcloud.com/hedonismbit AZURIA SKY A girl who fell in love with a robot. Operating a DMG-01, Azuria Sky paints heart-wrenching melodies framed with unrelenting lo-fi bass. http://soundcloud.com/azuriasky VJ MONEYFACE Moneyface is the key to eternal wealth, yet also an opportunity for disaster.
