Up & Coming
FRIDAY 4/20
CACOPHONY: PULSE EMITTER, MONSTURO, VIEW, BRIZBOMB, CO SINE, THE SUNKEN
(Someday Lounge, 125 NW 5th) My favorite part of Pulse Emitter's website isn't the section with all the strained press descriptions of Daryl Groetsch's one-man noise band, or the otherworldly list of self-fashioned electro-gadgets Groetsch uses to achieve the empty, vacant, drone Pulse Emitter is known for. No, in my opinion, the best part of Pulse Emitter's website is the "degrees" section, where Groetsch's Bachelor's of Music Composition sits listed right next to his Associate of Applied Science and computer stuff from ITT Tech. I do believe it's the first time I've ever seen someone's educational background listed on their band's website, and furthermore it begs the question—why isn't there a dude making crazy synthesizers and laying down noise drone in ITT Tech's commercials? How cool would that be? MATT DRISCOLL
