ERASERHEAD XIU XIU

ERASERHEAD XIU XIU is an exploration of the sonic and visual universe that is Eraserhead! In 2016 with the blessing of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti, compelling experimentalists Xiu Xiu released and toured the surprisingly successful album and concert Plays the Music of Twin Peaks. Out of respect and deference to the beloved series the band decided to put the concert to rest in 2018. After the recent, untimely passing of David Lynch Xiu Xiu began to receive several high profile requests to revive their interpretation of this iconic music. However, Xiu Xiu have decided instead to go deeper.

Eraserhead Xiu Xiu is new a live concert with accompanying film that uses field recordings, concert specific homemade instruments, organ, modular synths, vocals, flashlights, electrical interference and elements of musique concrete to express the bizarre emotionality, conflicted sexuality, relentless darkness and singularly unsettled moonscape of this most incredible of midnight masterpieces. The original sound design and score by Alan Spelt and Lynch serve as guide wires to Xiu Xiu's sonic expansion of how they have been affected by them as fans and musicians. Eraserhead Xiu Xiu is an art installation, an exploded tribute to a cinematic triumph and an epitaph to an idol, as intense, odd and curious as you’d want it to be.
