SENSOR GHOST

Sensor Ghost is a no-wave art-punk trio from Washington, DC, featuring Mike Andre (bass/vocals), Amanda Huron (guitar), and Sam Lavine (drums). The band’s spiky songs have been known to leave listeners in a discombobulated trance. Former/current projects include Puff Pieces, Antelope, Weed Tree, Light Beams, Vertebrates, Stigmatics, and Impetus Inter. Like the aforementioned groups, Sensor Ghost owes a debt to the freaked-out sonics and iconoclastic creativity of the storied DC punk scene. The band’s first LP, “Irritation on Demand,” was recorded with Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios over a few feverish days in March of 2024.

NORTHERN LIBERTIES

Northern Liberties are a three piece band consisting of drums, percussion, bass, and voices. Northern Liberties formed deep underground in the year 2000 as an outgrowth the West Philadelphia basement band scene. Brothers Justin and Marc Duerr, on percussion/vocals and drums, respectively, joined long-time friend Kevin with the idea of forming a band. The unusual instrumentation was a result of the three deciding to work with what and whom they were most comfortable with rather than bringing in other musicians – thus a new and idiosyncratic sound was forged, more out of practicality than any desire to be deliberately offbeat. Northern Liberties receive their music from an unnameable/indescribable dimension, which, while being impossible to accurately describe using any language including music, is most clearly shown in rough outline by the occult practice of musical realization.

GUTTER PEARL
