Talk Low Music Fest brings together Horse Lords, Fruit LoOops, and Devils Cross Country for a night of experimental rock, no-wave dance, and crooked guitar music.
Horse Lords
Baltimore experimental noise rock collective, post‑Fluxus avant‑rock
Headliner
Horse Lords are a Baltimore‑origin experimental ensemble formed in 2010, evolving from the Teeth Mountain collective. The core includes drummer Sam Haberman, guitarist Owen Gardner, bassist Max Eilbacher, and alto saxophonist Andrew Bernstein, and they have released ten albums and collaborated with Berlin composer Arnold Dreyblatt for RVNG’s FRKWYS series.
Fruit LoOops
Ohio/Chicago art‑punk no‑wave dance band with theatrical performance art
Fruit LoOops is an art‑punk, no‑wave dance group spanning Ohio and Chicago, known for manic percussion, frazzled keyboards, and theatrical live shows. Frontwoman Jackie Switzer founded the band after a surreal dream, and they are promoting the EP “Everything is Clear to Me Now” on Orange Milk Records.
Devils Cross Country
Cincinnati‑based slacker‑rock indie project blending post‑punk distortion and experimental folk
Devils Cross Country began as a NYC collaboration and now operates out of Cincinnati, featuring vocalist/guitarist Patrick Raneses, drummer Spencer Morgan, bassist Connor Lowry, violinist Nina Payiatis, and banjoist Patrick Zopff. Their music mixes slacker‑rock songwriting with noisy, distorted post‑punk and Philadelphia‑style indie experimentation.
