Laurie Anderson’s Big Science is our next Listening Party @ The Big Romance

Avatar

The hosts of the Nialler9 Podcast (Niall Byrne and Andrea Cleary) in conjunction with The Big Romance present the Listen Closely series of listening parties, a night featuring a focus album from an artist we love on the last Wednesday of the month.

Listen Closely is a chance for the music heads, to appreciate a modern classic album on the Big Romance’s warm Toby Hatchett soundsystem with a chat about the record on the night.

This month, Wednesday February 28th – 7.30pm @ The Big Romance

Laurie Anderson – Big Science (1982)

This is the time/and this is the record of the time.

An album that was ahead of its time upon release, Big Science draws from Anderson’s multi-media performance art piece United States I-IV, and presents an experimental avant-garde electronics , art-rock and spoken word prophetic dissection of 80s America that spawned a surprising pop hit with the towering O Superman.

Tickets are limited to 40 for this intimate event at €10 each or Patreon members get a 2 for 1 deal until the limit is hit.

Doors: 7pm.

Album playback and chat from 7.45pm

More Listen Closely events to be announced monthly.

Previous albums in the series:

Madvillain – Madvillainy (2004)
Four Tet – Rounds (2003)
Sufjan Stevens – Illinois (2005)
