Though the pair might seem like polar opposites, both share a well-defined desire to resist the norm.
Carriageworks has announced the dates for a pair of shows from two very exciting musicians: Swans frontman Michael Gira, and electronic artist Fennesz.
Gira will be in acoustic mode, but those concerned that the man who once made a habit of getting down on his hands and knees and licking the floor during his sets will be playing a gentle gig should be heartened to know that his solo outings are famous for being as powerful and terrifying as his ear-splitting work with Swans.
Fennesz, by contrast, will be joined by visual artist Lillevan, adding an additional layer to his soothing electro sounds.
Both of these two provocateurs are well worth catching live, so all those who require something surreal and special from their live music experiences should save not one, but two dates.
Fennesz hits Carriageworks on Friday February 26; Michael Gira plays on Wednesday March 9. More information for both shows is available from the Carriageworks website, here.
