Here is a mini-doc I shot last year on three Manorexia shows we did in London (ATP/Union Chapel), Tilburg (Roadburn Festival) and Nijmegen (Extrapool). This is to promote the Manorexia 2013 European tour which began tonight in Copenhagen.

Diamond Terrifier (aka Sam from Zs) hosts a weekly night of forward thinking and experimental sounds called Practice. Since the demise of Zebulon it has moved to Public Assembly in Williamsburg.
On 3/18/13 the night featured Barker Trio, comprised of Will Holshouser on accordion, Tim Dahl (from Child Abuse) on upright bass and Andrew Barker on drums, who delivered a droning, lurching piece which hypnotized and took us on its undulating, churning journey into catatonia. They were followed by the
Robbie Lee/Brian Chase Duo. Lee played various flutes while Chase explored the resonances and overtones of a single snare drum and feedback. Chase has a new album called Drums and Drones, and also plays drums in Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who have a new album, Mosquito, out soon .
