BIG TROUBLES

YOUNG PRISMS

$10 Adv/ $12 DOS Backstage / Doors at 8:00

Born in the decade of synth pop and sharing his birthday with George Frideric Handel, John Maus started making music when Nirvana posters went up on every teenager’s wall. Years later, he worked alongside Ariel Pink. It’s this curious conflux of influences that partially helps to describe John’s music. The Germs jam with Jerry Goldsmith, Cabaret Voltaire relocate to Eternia and Josquin des Prez writes a new score for RoboCop. The confrontation of punk, the fleeting poignancy of 80s movie soundtracks, the insistent pulse of Moroder and the spirituality of Medieval and Baroque music all find a home in John Maus.
