Tacoma Noise Rodeo @ KVLT Mead
Tickets
Oct 29 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Esoteric electronic music has always had a hard time finding a place and a time.

Tacoma Noise Rodeo exists because there is no outlet for in Tacoma for who make music that tends towards the experimental. The idea behind the Noise Rodeo is to locate this venue. Each of the artists was selected because of their vision of what music should be.

Each artist is given 30 minutes to fill with their vision of sounds. Afterwards the three artists play a 30 minute freeform collaborative jam.

Its not about what any artist playing is going to do stylistically, its not if they fit in with the theme for the evening, or the music the other artists are playing. Its that they choose and they play what they think should be played.

That place is KVLT.
The time is Friday October 29th at 8pm
