The four members of of Fuckery have been writing music in various incarnations since their halcyon, teenage youth, but only recently decided to make noise with all their instruments together in the same room. The result: Fuckery is a band (and a name) so ridiculous, listeners will either reject the group as too absurd to take seriously, or love them for the same reason.
Lead singer Adriana DeMeo pairs lyrics of nostalgia and questionable decisions made while bored, against deep pocketed grooves, and jerky, razorblade guitars. Join the band as they debut a few new songs, and insist you participate in the fuckery yourself.
A CENTVRY gig guarantees anything from psychedelic freakouts, to monotone Lou Reed pathos, to arena rock anthems. It all depends on the night, and the audience attending. Their show is entirely improvised, which means that your presence will undoubtedly guarantee something exciting is going to happen.
Opening the bill is Double Mint Dragon (pictured), one of singer/guitarist Alex Woods’ many, many projects. The band’s set will have you unsure of where things are headed, but loving the convulsive, tug-of-war fought between dueling drums and Alex’s stompbox army of noisy fireworks exploding along the way.
