Duzheknew/Cousins Split Tape Release

• afghan wrasslin’

Adam O’Reilly is releasing some tracks from his fantastic new wave-inspired project Duzheknew on a split tape with Cousins. Says the release: “What started as a home-recording project in a new city turned into a creative outlet tapping into New Wave-era bands of the past such as: Devo, Talking Heads, DNA, and more.”

O’Reilly was working in New York as an artist’s assistant and ended up teaming up with Aron Sanchez, who produces your favorite band and mine, Japanther (and also makes instruments for The Blue Man Group) to record a handful of songs. He also worked with famous bedroom artist/recluse R. Stevie Moore on a split 7″. Now he and Cousins are collaborating on a split tape.
Before you go to the show, go to Duzheknew’s website. There is a song posted there, and it is beautiful, kind of like if John Fahey, David Byrne and James Chance were smells and somehow got made into a perfume. Delightfully fruity. It also reminds you of a feeling you had a long time ago. Oh right—-being young!

The release is this Friday, April 9th at the Khyber (with an all-ages show at the same venue on Saturday April 10th) and Fuck Montreal will join the two bands on the bill. There is also a tour with Cousins. Here are those dates:
