The WIERD is happy to say tonite we’ll be joined by an unexpectedly VR guest M. Jean-Francois Sanz, curator of Agnes b.‘s eminently chic Galerie du Jour in Paris. Jean-Francois was singlehandedly responsible for the ‘Des Jeunes Gens Mödernes’ Exhibition this past spring(for which WIERD wrote the catalogue essay and contributed many works of Wierd-related art and ephemera) - an incredibly comprehensive show chronicling the history of Vague Froide and Minimal Electronic music in France from 1978-1983! So needless to say the icy waves of Rennes and Lyon will be floating through the WIERD World tonite like never before…A few info links on the exhibition and its accompanying 2 x CD and LP Compilations below.:

This week WIERD welcomes our old VRiend Sixes(Ryan Jencks/ex-Crash Worship…VR) all the way from Oakland, CA for a cold, wet, and brutally bleak set of dark analogue electronics at midnight. Rumours have it the Sixes are gonna turn to nines tonite as Ryan has planned a special show for the WIERD World which will be entirely different from the upcoming show in the city this weekend so perhaps you’re all courageous enough…and dare…to be Very Rare???
Pieter, Jeralyn, Shawn NoEQ(Led er Est), and Jean-Francois Spin the Lovely Cold Sadness of Summer…
Wednesday July 30th, 10pm-4am
(Live Performance by Sixes at Midnite!!!)
