The Intelligence
Friday, June 6th, 9pm - Midnight
on Burn It Down! with Nate K.
Founded in the late '90s, this long-running project from multi-instrumentalist Lars Finberg has had as many line-up changes as it has aesthetic shifts. Currently a two-piece with Alice Sandahl (La Luz), the project remains rooted in a kitchen-sink experimentation that, while perhaps paying homage to something resembling punk, pulls from dub, exotica, synth pop, and Sparks-style glam. Tune in June 6 for an in-studio live set and catch them on their current tour.
John Carpenter
Saturday, June 7th, 3pm - 6pm
on Todd-o-phonic Todd's show
Famed director and composer John Carpenter joins Todd-O-Phonic Todd to discuss his incredible career. The French Directors Guild referred to John as, "a creative genius of raw, fantastic, and spectacular emotions" when they bestowed The Golden Coach Award upon him at the 2019 Cannes film festival. In addition to directing films such as 'Halloween", "Escape From New York" and "The Fog", John also composed most of the music for his movies. John will be performing at The Knockdown Center on October 9th and 10th.
