BELLOWS FALLS — Sunburned Hand of the Man, describe as “an enigmatic experimental collective with a stunningly large discography and frequent personnel changes,” will perform at Stage 33 Live on Saturday, Feb. 28.
The group’s improvisations incorporate elements of free jazz, space rock, psych-rock, hypno krautrock, drone, folk, funk, punk, and dirty synth. Their live shows are a surprise every time — even to them, usually — ranging from wild freak-outs to more coherently sculpted material careening from unsettling to hypnotic to mellow, says a release from Stage 33.
Throughout the mid-’90s they represented New England’s “free rock” contingency, and the “free folk” — sometimes misnomered “freak folk” — era described by David Keenan’s 2003 article ‘New Weird America’ in British music magazine The Wire.
There will be no opener for this show, it will be 100 percent Sunburned. And it’s likely to be loud. Stage 33 Live says it has no idea what the lineup will be, or how long the show will go. This is in accordance with “the strange purity” of Sunburned Hand of the Man.
Daisy Frederick will provide old-school psychedelic interactive liquid light projections.
The show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance through stage33live.com or at the door as available. Advance tickets guarantee entry. Only 40 tickets will be sold. The performances will be recorded and filmed. Stage 33 Live is located at 33 Bridge St.
