Get Weird: Tarek Atoui with U.S. Girls Constructed from hyperactive breakbeats, menacing drones, and disconcerting field recordings, Tarek Atoui's electronic music creates a midpoint between the hissing emotion of Christian Fennesz and the percussive assault of Muslimgauze. Meghan Remy is U.S. Girls. Her music is built from the scratchiest, most resilient elements of pop songs, as if the world has ended and all that remains are blown-out snare drums and guitar echoes. Friday, July 24, 7 PM | $10 Members, $12 General Public
