Uniform / HIDE / Mark Solotroff

UNIFORM formed in New York City in late 2013 when old friends Ben Greenberg and Michael Berdan realized they lived on the same street. Their impulsive collaboration quickly yielded Our Blood / Of Sound Mind and Body single. The six tracks that comprise the equally abrasive but more refined album Perfect World have been coming together between tours and work ever since. Chicago’s HIDE is a project from visual artist HEATHER GABEL on vocals and multi-instrumentalist SETH SHER (GA’AN, PSYCHIC STEEL, ZATH, OAKEATER) on pretty much everything else (and some vocals). Since forming in 2014, the duo has exploded all over Chicago, stirring up shit all around town with their dark, minimal blend of electronic, goth and industrial stylings. They’ve opened for the likes of ALALKINE TRIO and even scored an opening slot for part of MARILYN MANSON’s 2015 tour. Trust us – they’re going to give you a performance you’ll not soon forget. Yeah, wouldn’t miss this one. Especially when electronic experimentalist, noise auteur, and goddamn Chicago legend MARK SOLOTROFF is opening. Being co-founder of BloodLust!, member of BLOODYMINDED, as well as leading Chicago’s relentless ANATOMY OF HABIT, it’s pretty safe to say this guy knows what he’s doing. Power electronics, harsh noise, analog synths, and tape are all in his arsenal so check your ear flaps and show up early.
