White Bitch CD-Release Party
The White Bitch is a downtown electro-freak, rock guitarist with a deep, obsessive love for Prince, which explains his penchant for drum-machine-driven R&B but doesn't preclude extended tangents into the stratospheres of lo-fi experimental noise. His one-man band often is augmented by a motley crew of like-minded software and machine manipulators, who inflate his new album, The White Bitch's Prey Drive, with clouds of ecstatic drone, twitter and hiss. The album is a sarcastic, neurotic, angst- and humor-ridden breakup/make-up album that includes both reworked familiar tracks and new offerings. He is joined by local glam-rock screamers the Bad Off, with whom he now plays second guitar. The Hiss, an Atlanta group of Kinks-damaged psychedelic garage-rockers open. Tickets $7. — Alison Fensterstock
