Spy Fest Begins Friday

Post Author:

Just a small update and reminder about Spy Fest, which we originally announced over here. The festival, which starts on Friday with Skeletons, Rhys Chatham – Ryan Sawyer Brass Duo, Gunn – Truscinski Duo, Peter Stampfel at Union Pool, added Thurston Moore and Raajmahal to its extensive two-week lineup. Raajmahal is the Indo-experimental project of Pat Murano of No Neck Blues Band and Decimus, Carla Backer from Baba Yaga, and Santa Wolanczyk from Flower Orgy – Thurston Moore, of course, needs no introduction. Raajmahal is joining Rhyton, Chris Forsyth, and PG Six at Death By Audio on July 13, and Thurston will be debuting his first duo with Loren Connors on July 14 at the Stone. You can find an updated schedule and a sampler of 37 acts playing the Spy Music Festival below or on their site.
