Kristine Leschper, Nina Ryser, Bijou Bell

CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS AND TRAVEL

Kristine Leschper is an interdisciplinary artist working in sound, text, image, and performance. Her work positions itself around the spectacle of the human condition, deeply interested in questions of meaning-making, womanhood, socio-ecological systems, and the wielding of power. Her personal philosophies around music-making approach the sonic landscape as an object with shape, dimension and weight. She has presented over 250 live performances across the US, UK, and Europe. Leschper’s The Opening, Or Closing Of A Door, via ANTI/Epitaph, is a paean to the sensory world. It’s the first Leschper has released under her given name, having retired the moniker Mothers after eight years of performing and releasing music under it. Though both projects are guided by Leschper’s idiosyncratic approach to songwriting, they couldn’t sound more different. While Mothers drew inspiration from the stark, skeletal sounds of post-punk and contemporary folk, Leschper’s new work is practically baroque, integrating an array of synthesizers, strings, woodwinds, and over a dozen percussive instruments.

Nina Ryser a Philadelphia-based musician, whos work is dreamy, wonky, synth-based art-pop that’s bubbly, edgy, sweet, and dark all at once; with elements of post-punk, art rock, and free jazz.. Nina has played in many bands, including Palberta–an art-punk/pop trio of 10 years that has released 8 full-length records which have received reviews by the New York Times, NPR Music, Rollingstone, and Pitchfork; they have toured prolifically across the US and Canada, and opened for Bikini Kill and Deerhoof.

With support from local Bijou Bell.
