Tue, Jan 12
Colin Newman of Wire and Malka Spigel of Minimal Compact
In 1977 a band put out a record with twenty-one songs on it, several of them under a minute, and rearranged what a song was permitted to be. Half the music you like is downstream of it whether or not anyone told you.
So here is the thing worth knowing before you buy: this is not a Wire set. The ticket files them under Immersion, the duo Colin Newman and Malka Spigel record as together, and it is ambient, patient, largely instrumental work. Anyone arriving to shout along with Pink Flag will be confused by minute four. Anyone arriving to sit inside a sound for ninety minutes is going to have one of those nights they describe badly for years afterward.
Doors at seven, set at eight, on a January Tuesday in a two-hundred-capacity room, which is an absurd place to find either of them.
January 12, Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd. Bring the one friend whose record collection you respect. The post-punk that turned into ambient and the ambient that turned into industrial are the same family tree, and this city keeps hosting its branches in rooms this small.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
