In what is starting to look like an annual tradition, the local label/collective l’animaux tryst (field) recordings‘ Tryst Haunt took over SPACE once again, declaring “SPACE is the place.” Tempera (pictured below in a hut fashioned on the spot by our friends at the Pine Haven Collective) were celebrating the release of a new LP, while the shapeshifting Cursillistas and White Light were unveiling a split record and setting off for a couple weeks on the road (in the form of Matt L and Ian P supporting/opening/double-headlining a spat of shows across the country). A.M. Frank (above) finished off the live music portion of the evening with a rousing take on Suicide’s no wave electro punk chaos, strobes included.

White Light and Cursillistas return to Maine today, with a show (again with Tempera) at BUOY in Kittery. Both artists will also be playing the Arootsakoostik Festival in New Sweden on Saturday.

White Light

The collaborations continued this week, as South China (who also played as part of Plains) performed a haunting set before joining White Light. White Light’s set began with more of a traditional tinge before morphing into a louder, more rock-oriented jam. Next week the series concludes with Vince Nez.
