Famous Swords, a Brooklyn-based art collective founded by Alyse Lamb (of EULA) and Chris Mulligan, is gathering a regular army of mostly Brooklyn-based musicians, performance artists, and visual artists that will descend upon Glasslands tomorrow. Castle of Spices features a varied lineup including Short Nerve (a weird jammy outfit featuring Greg Saunier of Deerfhoof on drums), Adam Schatz (also of NYC indie poppers Landlady), Andra (singer-songwriter), and EULA.
Famous Swords held their first show at Death By Audio earlier this month, but Alyse says this is their first multimedia event, which they hope will foment cross-discipline collaboration and create a more dynamic experience for the party guests. The theme of this installment is movement. Besides music, Castle of Spices will feature photographs by Maciek Jasick and Edwina Hay, belly dancers, and performance art by uh, this guy.
We’re guessing the work of Power Animal System (aka Jason Martin, part-time wolf person) won’t be featured in any Adidas commercials any time soon.
Check out the tunes below to get a feel for the performances happening at Castle of Spices. Doors at Glasslands open at 8 pm and tickets are $10.
