IO/BV Presents: Pig Destroyer, Dysrhythmia, Trenchgrinder, & Mother Brain at Saint Vitus

The news snuck out a little early, but now it’s official: on January 11, 2014, Pig Destroyer, Dysrhythmia, Trenchgrinder and Mother Brain are playing an Invisible Oranges/Brooklyn Vegan-curated Red Bull Sound Select show at Saint Vitus. Entrance will be $3 at the door with an RSVP and $10 without, but no tickets will be sold in advance. There is a 100% chance that it will be an utter shit show. The RSVPs will run out fast; get them before they’re gone.

Pig Destroyer fully deserve their reputation as modern grindcore’s most vital band; this show will mark their first NYC appearance with new (and first-ever!) bassist John Jarvis in the lineup. Live powerhouses Dysrhythmia will put in a breather set (kinda, sorta, not really) between Kevin Hufnagel and Colin Marston’s touring duties with Gorguts, whose Colored Sands has deservedly won heaps of acclaim. Fellow locals Trenchgrinder and Mother Brain will deliver dirty death metal and maniacal grind, respectively — both bands work hard and shred harder.

I seriously could not be more stoked about this lineup. Clear your calendars and stream music by all four bands below.
