The Bunker: Hardware Night

The Bunker, long one of the city's premier electronic-music nights, is trying something a little different at this month's edition: Rather than a DJ-oriented affair, this installment is all about live, hardware-only sets. But no matter how the sounds are doled out, the lineup ensures that the music's going to be great. The back room's headliner is Atom™ & Tobias, the pairing of old friends Uwe Schmidt and Tobias Freund; they've been doing the live-electronics thing since 1992's "Elektroniikkaa." They'll be joined by fellow vets Mark Verbos and Shawn O'Sullivan from the L.I.E.S. label. The front room's audio action comes courtesy of Pittsburgh Track Authority and Sycorax, both of whom recently debuted live sets that reportedly were mind-blowing. For those who can't get through the night without a fix of actual deejaying, the Bunker's own Bryan Kasenic, Eric Cloutier and Mike Servito will scratch that itch.
