Jason Forrest peforms "My 36 Favorite Punk Songs"

An idiosyncratic Berlin-based label dedicated to art-damaged beats, danceable plunderphonics and spastic new-wave melodies, Cock Rock Disco knows how to have fun while getting down to the serious business of shifting musical paradigms. Representing the collective at Soundlab this Friday (Oct. 20) is label founder and impish sonic troublemaker Jason Forrest (who has reworked his insane sonic collages for full band presentation), and cracked new-wave outfit About, whose melodic playfulness belies its jagged rhythms and fuzzed out electronic noise. Joining them is Buffalo electro-punk Mark Webb, whose high-energy beat-anthems never fail to entertain. Show starts at 9pm.
