Renowned for her mesmerizing, confrontational live performances, Kim Gordon has long treated the stage as an extension of her art.

The New York Times described the Sonic Youth co-founder as someone who “approaches the mic as a poet of modern life,” channeling abstract, spoken vocals that capture both the banality and volatility of the present moment. Whether fronting a full band or commanding space with minimalism, Gordon’s shows are defined by tension, release, and a sense of unpredictability that remains uniquely her own.

Since launching her solo career with 2019’s No Home Record—which The Guardian said “brilliantly weds noise textures to pop dynamics”—Gordon has brought that same intensity to stages worldwide, including Primavera Sound, Riot Fest, and Corona Capital. Her 2024 album The Collective, created with producers Justin Raisen and Anthony Paul Lopez, earned two Grammy nominations, with live sets from the project widely praised as “relentless” and “cathartic.”

Most recently, Gordon released her third solo album, PLAY ME. She continues to tour globally through 2026, delivering performances that reaffirm her status as one of contemporary music’s most compelling and uncompromising live artists.

Aaron Dilloway is an American composer and improviser whose work centers on magnetic tape as a performative medium. Using 1/4″ tape loops in modified 8-track cartridges, with discarded electronics, he constructs dense, evolving sound environments through manipulation in real-time. His performances integrate physical gesture, everyday objects, and live signal processing emphasizing material instability.

Dilloway was an original member of the influential experimental noise group Wolf Eyes and remains a central figure in contemporary experimental music. He operates Hanson Records, a long-running platform for underground, avant garde sound.

His work has been presented internationally in museums, galleries, and festivals, including appearances at Rewire Festival, All Tomorrows Parties, and CTE Festival and he has toured extensively throughout the world. His recordings have been released widely, including on Dais Records.

Dilloway has collaborated with a broad range of artists including Genesis P-Orridge, Body/Head, Robert Turman, John Wiese, Victoria Shen, and Lucrecia Dalt. In addition to his performance practice, he has created soundtrack work for visual artists and filmmakers including Pieter Schoolwerth and Case Esparros.
