Armen Miran & Kerala Dust presented by Public Works Saturday, October 8th, 9pm - 3am Main Room / 21+ / Limited Capacity LINEUP: ➩ Kerala Dust ➩ Armen Miran ➩ Asymmetry (Agape, SF) ━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━ KERALA DUST BIO: Kerala Dust was formed in London in 2016. Growing up on the sounds of CAN, The Velvet Underground and Tom Waits while spending blurry mornings in nightclubs, the band combines those disparate influences of psychedelic rock, blues and techno into one. “Driving sounds for late nights; or perhaps you’re on a street somewhere in the Western hemisphere, and a shiny new car passes you by too fast, like something from a glossy magazine, and before you know it, it’s gone again.” Kerala Dust are: Edmund Kenny on vocals/electronics Harvey Grant on keys Lawrence Howarth on guitar. Their live performances are a constant conversation around the sounds from the studio. Pieces are re-interpreted, looped, dismantled, and put back together again. Since first touring in 2017, Kerala Dust have played over 150 international shows in the USA, Europe, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, Dom. Republic and many more countries. Events such as DGTL (Tel Aviv), Dockville (Hamburg), Lightning in a Bottle (California), Kater Blau (Berlin), Tropico (Mexico), Sonar (Barcelona) are but a few in a long list of festivals and nightclubs that Kerala Dust have played in only a couple of years. ARMEN MIRAN BIO: Armenian born and Los Angeles based DJ/producer/multi-instrumentalist Armen Miran has established himself as an iconic and powerful name in this industry. He has the undeniable ability to captivate audiences as well as his peers with his surreal downtempo progressions and unforgettable mixes that will leave you in a trance. It is clear that people are gravitated towards his momentous style. From the Middle East to North America, he takes his listeners on a journey filled with diverse cultural sonics and ethereal undertones. When asked about his unique style Armen stated, "The combination of my past experiences in Europe and the Middle East along with having to start my career here in the US alone really helped shape my music naturally progressing to a more lighter style." Inspired by his spirituality and nature, he seeks to captivate his audiences and take them on a journey within themselves. If only for one heart beat, Armen will not fail to influence ever changing perspectives through the rhythm of the beat. ━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━ When you purchase tickets to this event you’ll automatically be signed up for LOCAL 161, our SMS community where you’ll get special invites + guestlist + other perks as a thank you for your support.
