Tha Click Rave On
Tha Click Rave On features hyperactive music and visuals by internationally-renowned art crew PAPER RAD. Using 90’s-influenced graphics from video games to cartoon icons, performed in venues as disparate as tiny basement clubs to the Museum of Modern Art, New York, their distinct, technicolor rave style has had them produce music videos for Beck, The Gossip and Lightning Bolt in addition to their own body of artwork that includes dizzying videos, prints, paintings, comics and zines.
8 BIT CONSTRUCTION SET reunite for a performance that reinvents their cult 2001 self-titled release on Beige Records. Pioneering the use of hacked video game consoles for music in the late 90’s (in their case, Ataris), XLR8R magazine called 8 Bit Construction Set’s release, one of the best selling DJ battle records of all time, ‘absolute genius’.
In support is Beige side project band THE POTIONS, an art/noise performance as wizards; DJ SHOULDERS in an aerobatic hyped-up set from Chicago’s Thrill Jockey Records; DJ BITCH ASS DARIUS, on Detroit ghettotech legend DJ Godfather’s DataBass label; and Beige’s own PAUL B. DAVIS, sometimes operating as DJ Brains (7 Year Glitch, Do It!) in an experimental circuit-bent DJ set.
