Experimental pop duo Macula Dog (NYC, Wharf Cat Records) will be performing for the first time in Santa Cruz. Regarding their most recent release, Pitchfork wrote: “Like watching a Rube Goldberg machine in operation, you can never quite be sure how one component of Orange 2 will tumble into the next, but through some miracle of physics, momentum, or magic, it always does.”
The band is also renowned for their unique and exciting live performances. In their new live configuration, they carry their gear on harnesses, adorning themselves with impact-resistant clothing to cushion from injury should their exoskeletal sit-stand legs slip out from under them. The duo also carry a camera and hologram projection system, transforming each member into a fully mobile performance rig, each with a mini jumbotron.
