Lineup:

Rope

Rope is a no-wave ensemble that merges noise, improvisation, and raw physical energy into a sonic experience that defies conventional form. Drawing from the abrasive edge of underground rock and the free-flowing intensity of experimental performance art, the band dismantles rhythmic and harmonic expectations to reveal a visceral, textural sound world

Iva Lin
