Tussle performs "Here It Comes"

An instrumental dub-funk band born from the culture of hipster artists, filmmakers and scenesters living in San Francisco’s Mission District, Tussle’s off-kilter polyrhythmic grooves epitomize contemporary indie-rock disco. Utilizing bass, drums and oddball junk percussion in addition to keys and samplers, the group’s “sweatfest performances metronome between ‘70s krautrock robotics, ganja-fried echo chamber dub, and full-on Blue Man bang-a-can hysterics” (San Francisco Weekly). Having toured with Erase Errata and Numbers and submitted to remixes by Hot Chip and Matmos, Tussle cross-fades brilliantly between dance floor shuffle and indie rock urgency. Check them out headlining a 9pm“Dub-Electro Punk-Funk Dance Party” at Soundlab next Thursday (May 10), which also includes a live set by Mark Webb and DJ interludes by the MJB Corporation and more.
