The legendary Lou Reed will be performing as The Metal Machine Trio for two nights at the Blender Theater at Gramercy on April 23rd and 24th. The show, billed as “A Night of Deep Noise” features Lou on guitar, Ulrich Krieger on tenor sax and “live electronics” and Sarth Calhoun on “live processing” and “fingerboard continuum.”
Samples of the music you can expect to hear are embedded below. As The New York Times said, they are “surprisingly soothing.” Personally, it reminds me of Sigur Ros meets Trent Reznor, which is a good thing.
