Black Pus

With his solo work as Black Pus, Lightning Bolt drummer/vocalist Brian Chippendale bashes out brutally heavy and repetitive music that’s poppy compared to his main band but no less psychedelic. Danish dark-wave wonder Dinner opens up the night with his weighty baritone and contrasting synth soundscapes.

Attend event:

Black Pus is the solo project of Brian Chippendale, drummer and vocalist from Lightning Bolt, a noise rock duo that rose out of the primordial ooze of the same Rhode Island School of Design experimental scene that birthed Black Dice. Besides his frenetic drum stylings, Chippendale is known for hollering through a contact mic fed through an effects processor, embedded inside of a mask. As Black Pus, he replaces Lightning Bolt co-conspirator Brian Gibson’s bass with a kick drum-triggered oscillator, bashing out brutally heavy and repetitive music that’s poppy compared to his main band, which is to say it’s kind of like limiting yourself to just one hit of LSD before jumping on the scariest rollercoaster ride in the park, rather than ten. Danish dark-wave wonder Dinner opens up the night with his weighty baritone and contrasting synth soundscapes.
