I’m sure there’s at least a few of you readers out there who have at some point in your life asked yourself, probably while under the influence of one or multiple psychotics: what would be the result of a mutation between a star’s burning core and a battle snake? A reasonable question really, and one that will in fact be answered for those of you dwelling in the northeastern US, because starting, well, today, actually, C. Spencer Yeh’s spaced-out noise project Burning Star Core will be touring alongside Berlin-based noise group Family Battle Snake.
The duo are making a move tonight in Philly and calling it quits on the 25th at Dan Deacon’s Whartscape festival. Along the way, they’ll be playing with such notables as Bill Orcutt and Thurston Moore, as well as playing a collaborative set to the films of Frans Zwartjes. Sounds like the type of stuff reptilian/interstellar combinations are made of.
