*“A self-contained minimal DIY disco dance party to heat up even the chilliest Midwestern basement.”* - Maximum Rock N Rol *“During a time in which so much of the post-punk landscape is becoming formulaic, repetitive, and uninspiring, groups like Clickbait offer an essential alternative to the alternative.”* \- Far Out Magazine In the strange margins of the midwestern punk matrix, far from the micro genre divinations of ‘egg-’, or ‘chain-’, the disappointingly codified consensus sounds of post-punk in dour coffee shops everywhere, arrives Clickbait. The band’s members are creative workers with nonstop energy - setmaker/stylists, toy designers, poets, non-standard record shop owners - and their combined talents create a live show - like an avant-garde musical revue with Bauhausian costumes and popping colors - as a lo-fi Gesamtkunstwerk. More so than any other band, Clickbait have a personal focus on the obscure insights of punk’s suppressed and underheard histories, and their willingness to travel deep into their music’s defiled archive has led them to a signature sound. Here, a formally strict rhythm section gives way to spontaneous aesthetics in guitar and voice. Sandra’s commanding voice is in the thick of it all - playacting, yelling pissed, rehashing neurotic monologues we are not supposed to hear. We decided to cut this record live, unfussily, without much computational processing, in pursuit of a raw sound ideal. A pleasure! Presented by CLUB.THE.MAMMOTH. This is an 18+ event.
