[CANCELLED: November 24, 2020] Squarepusher
Squarepusher is an electronic musician (Tom Jenkinson) who has been making weird glitchy electronic noise beats since the mid 90s.
I have an LP and an EP. I really haven’t listened to him in a very long time. In fact, I didn’t even know he was still doing stuff. But his new stuff seems to be just as weird and glitchy and cool as his earlier stuff.
He hasn’t toured the States in five years and hasn’t been to Philly in eight years.
His North American tour was originally in April and was basically Boston and New York on the East Coast. He rescheduled his shows and added Philly to the tour. I asked my friend who introduced me to them so long ago if he would consider going. He said he was never that big a fan and that the man is full of himself. Not a ringing endorsement.
Since I’ve never been to a show like this–noise and glitchy “dance” music, I would be interested to see what it’s like. It might also have been a fun first show to return to, although it was officially cancelled.
I do hope he decides to come back in 2021.ca
