Music On The Moltz Terrace: Basic And Erica Dawn Lyle

Evocative of an imaginary electronic desert blues soundtrack, Basic is a new project of Philadelphia’s Chris Forsyth (guitar), Nick Millevoi (guitar, drum machine), and Mikel Patrick Avery from Natural Information Society (percussion/ electronics). Inspired by the aesthetics of American guitarist Robert Wolfe Quine and the Fred Maher record of the same name, Basic blends the raw energy of rock with the atmospheric depth of electronic experimentation.

Erica Dawn Lyle, a writer, experimental musician, curator, and cultural instigator, opens. Lyle has recorded around thirty records with over seventeen bands, and in 2019 she joined Bikini Kill as their guitar player. Since 2017, she has co-hosted Brooklyn’s Free Air Radio and helped run and coordinate programming at the experimental venue, 7 Belvidere in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
