This May 8th, come Meet the NEW emcee of Weird Music Night, A. I. Pacino! Will Pervert Savant ever be back to host? We’re not sure, but any persona of John O’Donnell is a friend of ours!
Featuring the sounds of:
Jayden Barber – An experimental sound artist, composer, and award-winning filmmaker from Providence, Barber conjures immersive walls of sound from tape loops, analog drones, and decaying media. His live sets evoke the spectral beauty of cathedrals while dragging audiences through cleansing distortion and cinematic collapse.
The Broken Robots – For over fifteen years, The Broken Robots have turned chaos into communion. Led by vocalist and performance artist Jack Daniel, their fully improvised performances channel the sacred and the absurd—think punk jazz meets séance, filtered through Waits, Zappa, Talking Heads, and the Buddha.
The Regal Drug – Dreamy distortion meets lo-fi euphoria. The Regal Drug crafts emotional, genre-defying soundscapes with an analog heart and a poetic punch. Their performances are haunted lullabies for a glamorous apocalypse.
A.I. Pacino – A satirical performance persona by artist John O’Donnell, A.I. Pacino is a mobster-masked android who raps over "Terminator-type beats" while channeling the absurdity of simulation culture. Inspired by the Max Headroom signal hack, vintage crime cinema, and the slippery terrain of digital identity, A.I. Pacino flickers between parody and prophecy in a performance you’ll never forget (even if you wish you could).
