Cheezface, Ex-Monkeys

Marvell Event CenterFast, cheap and out-of-control: That's the modus operandi of self-made techno-punks like new Raleigh resident Cheezface. Cheezface fillets beats, fuzz and samples (like choice bits from Mr. Show and Ferris Bueller's Day Off), making him a party-throwing power electronics dude in the league of Jason Forrest. Arrive early for The Ex-Monkeys, who push an extreme breakbeat noise in the style of N.Y. art-hoppers Death Comet Crew. For more, see page 39. Shiragirl opens at 9 p.m. Pay $5 at the door.
