Sweeeet! WL & the MG team up to present a special visit from two ear-crushing exponents of the American noise underground — plus a one-off collab between Toronto's Gastric Female Reflex and Montreal's Wasted Nymph. This will be happening outside in the beautiful courtyard of St. George the Martyr Church. The show will move inside in the event of inclement weather. 

Magik Markers
Balf Quarry, an old stone pit just outside of Hartford, Connecticut, represents a central place for Elisa Ambrogio and Pete Nolan, the duo who call themselves Magik Markers, and is the apt title of their forthcoming May release on Drag City Records. Unearthed from the mines of Connecticut in 2001, Magik Markers have been brutalizing audiences with their shattering live appearances and recordings since the first part of this century. They are now living and creating on opposite sides of the country. Elisa Ambrogio recently moved to Seattle from San Francisco and Pete Nolan resides in Brooklyn, but they came together in Elisa's new city to record Balf Quarry with Scott Colburn (Sun City Girls, Animal Collective, Sir Richard Bishop). Balf Quarry has moody space in its soul, and on this album you'll find Elisa and Pete locked together, beating it out, listening to and feeling the sound of their earth quake. And slicing through all the atmosphere, Elisa's voice is a spear of light, splashes of mud, and an acid purple flashback. Listening to Balf Quarry is like immersing yourself in a great horror film, complete with mental dissipation, catharsis for the ears, and the most satisfying psychotic listening experience you'll have this year.

Mouthus is duo Brian Sullivan and Nate Nelson of Brooklyn NY, and they absolutely destroy, fuzzing minds wherever they blow. Super psyche-snarled feedback guitar and overload drum squall with hep sick-wave edge. A brain-gouged cross of Manowar head implosion and New York dustbomb detonation. Total surf skum blooze drone. — Ecstatic Peace Records
