One can wrestle decibels for only so long before coming up for air.

We're pleased to emerge blinking from the hibernation of LP-mixing (and video-making) to join a cracking live electronic lineup Friday February 17 at Fontana's on NYC's Lower East Side.

We'll be suiting up to share the stage alongside the euphoric disco anthems of The Mystic Underground, the dark ethereal pop of Roniit (currently on a national tour), and the punishing industrial hymns of Blush Response.

The Dossier kicks things off at 8pm, so join us early and plug in for a rare evening that runs the gamut of synthetic songcraft. $8, 21+. RSVP on Facebook here.

Another screen grab from the Give Me Your Name video--coming soon.

We wrap our four-week stand at Anti Gravity Wednesday 9.28 with the party's one-year anniversary blowout. We'll share the stage with Philadelphia's City Rain (celebrating the release of their new "I'm Gone" EP) and AG mainstay and mad sonic scientist I, Synthesist.

Special guest DJ Paul Robb of electro legends Information Society joins resident DJ Bastard on the decks and the whole affair is broadcast live on WFKU, but by all means--be there in person! RSVP and get full details on Facebook here.

Shot from our Anti Gravity residency by Strange Photography. Week Three is Wednesday 9.21 with guest vocalist Rendon, Ex Machinae, and The Mystic Underground. 9pm, $5, 21+. Full details and RSVP on Facebook here.

The Dossier sets up shop on its favorite sci-fi stomping grounds for the month of September: ANTI GRAVITY at R Bar.

Leading up to the one-year anniversary of impresario Bruce X. Wells' electronic cabaret on the Bowery, we'll be joining a stellar line-up of performers (including Maxx Klaxon, The Mystic Underground, and Ex Machinae) for a series of shows through September with new songs, guest musicians, reworked favorites, unusual cover versions, and more surprises. Miss one, and you'll miss something special.

We'll be shooting video footage for "Give Me Your Name" from our forthcoming full-length, backed by the inimitable visual kaleidoscope of VJ Holly Daggers. Resident DJ Jeremy Bastard licks at your ears, photographer Emily Strange snaps you misbehaving, Kelly Hurt seduces you at the door, and Captain Wells lords over all and insures you're well-lubricated for the journey with drink specials and more.

It all culminates in Anti Gravity's first anniversary blow-out 9.28 with guest DJ Paul Robb from electro legends Information Society, Philadelphia's City Rain and their release party for their new EP "I'm Gone", and mad synth genius and AG mainstay I, Synthesist.

RSVP on Facebook and stay tuned as more details emerge, and come float with us through September.

The plan was to see out the summer lolling in the sun on some lonely beach--but we couldn't resist a last-minute invitation to join the lineup at Pianos Friday July 22nd.

We'll be playing in support of the furious guitar haze of local friends Autodrone and the slow-motion, 4AD-esque dream-pop of Dead Leaf Echo--think of us as a sort of electro-disco amuse-bouche.

We'll hit the stage at 9pm, but if you'd care to make a night of it there are quality west-coast offerings in the woozy dronegaze of Slowness and the winsome pop of Maren Parusel earlier in the evening, plus the typical happy hour specials from the Pianos kitchen.

You can RSVP and sample the bands on Facebook here. It promises to be quite the mid-summer Friday night's dream on the Lower East Side--join us!
