“It doesn't happen very often that we find out about an emerging rock band that is absolutely mind blowing, both on record and live. Buke and Gass is such a band.” – Deli Magazine
Buke & Gass are Brooklyn-based two-piece Arone Dyer on the “buke” (a self-modified sixstring baritone ukulele) and Aron Sanchez on the “gass” (a guitar-bass hybrid of his own creation). Both of them play double duty mobilizing a small army of foot percussion. These instruments are then filtered through various pedals, amplifiers and other homemade inventions to create a surprisingly complex sound. Arone’s supermelodic vocal lines weave through the beautiful yet sometimes-unwieldy musical matter, balancing light and dark, calamity and control.
Their musical multi-tasking makes for live performances that are both visually unexpected and sonically explosive. They have one EP available, +/- , and released Brassland earlier this year.
Joining Buke & Gass will be Talk Normal, a Brooklyn duo comprised of Sarah Register and Andrya Ambro. The band take their cues from the rich history of New York’s No Wave scene – with artists like DNA and Lydia Lunch serving as inspiration for their unsettling blasts of sound and fury. Their first full-length record Sugarland was released earlier this year and has been receiving positive reviews all round.
