Ryosuke Kiyasu

An evening of extreme sound and performance featuring two astonishing artists from across the Pacific, and some from right here at a gig pulled by UPEND

The Japanese snare drum soloist 🥁 RYOSUKE KIYASU🥁 rips and thrashes, pushing limits of what can be improvised with a couple of drumsticks, a snare, a mic, and a table. Amidst cathartic whole-body maneuvers, he can just as easily issue a flurry of rolls and virtuosic high velocity click-clack on the rims, or in turn growl right into the heads, or even take the party to the floor for some scrape and drag.

AND

Longtime globe travelling DIY-lifer LUCAS ‘GRANPA’ ABELA (fka Justice Yeldham) also pushes the boundaries and also pushes a large shard of glass into his face and against his mouth, playing it as an electroacoustic instrument, these days feeding the signal into a an array of modular chaos. Might there be blood?

PLUS a couple actions from L.A zones: Percussionist TED BYRNES throwing metal around, and LAW – the duo of L. Coats and Jonah Bergman - folding primitive folk instrumentation right into the harsh.
