ZS
http://www.zzzsss.com / http://www.thesocialregistry.com
Zs was founded in 2000 by tenor saxophonist and composer Sam Hillmer. While Zs' music has been variously categorized as no-wave, noise, post-minimalist, drone, and psych, it is primarily concerned with making music that challenges the physical and mental limitations of both performer and listener. Manipulating extended technique, unique instrumental synthesis, and near telepathic communication, Zs aims to create works that envelop the listener and unfold sonically over time, evoking unspoken past, present, and future rites and ritual. Zs has performed in lofts, galleries, basements, rock clubs, and concert halls across North America and Europe with The Locust, Gang Gang Dance, Animal Collective, Battles, The Dirty Projectors, Dan Deacon, Peter Brotzman and Han Bennick, and Louis Andriessen. Zs currently records for The Social Registry record label.
“...equally evocative and off-putting, challenging and intriguing.”
- Joshua Klein, Pitchfork

JACK Quartet
http://www.jackquartet.com
The JACK Quartet electrifies audiences worldwide with "explosive virtuosity" (Boston Globe) and "viscerally exciting performances" (New York Times). David Patrick Stearns (Philadelphia Inquirer) proclaimed their performance as being "among the most stimulating new-music concerts of my experience," and NPR listed their performance as one of "The Best New York Alt-Classical Concerts Of 2010." The Washington Post commented, "The string quartet may be a 250-year-old contraption, but young, brilliant groups like the JACK Quartet are keeping it thrillingly vital."
"Whether a listener absorbs this music or rebels against it is at least partly a matter of how the performers put it across. It would be hard to imagine an ensemble playing it with greater virtuosity than the JACK Quartet, which seemed not merely earnest but also completely comfortable with, and passionate about, the strange sound worlds at hand." - Allan Kozinn, New York Times
Noveller

Noveller is the solo project of Brooklyn-based guitarist and filmmaker Sarah Lipstate. Did you catch her live at PS1, or hear the killer set on Soundcheck? How about her contributions to Rhys Chatham's Guitar Army or Glenn Branca's 100-guitar jam-out? Do not miss.
“...simultaneously soothing and mind-wrecking noise, along with a compositional depth that most loud-for-the-hell-of-it guitar droners never reach.” – NY Press
* The night will be rounded out with a stellar DJ / VJ combo. Dutty Artz’ Matt Shadetek brings global beats + bass-packed riddims while Trouble (the duo responsible for the infamous 'You Are Here' Festival) handles visuals. http://mattshadetek.com / http://www.duttyartz.com / http://troublestuff.tumblr.com
