100 gecs

The music of electronic duo Laura Les and Dylan Brady (aka 100 gecs) almost defies description. It’s pop music without catchiness, dance music without rhythm, rap music without cadence. On “Money Machine,” it’s almost like they took all the current trends of music — Auto-Tune and snare patterns, for example — and mashed them together in a satanic blender. It’s absolutely glorious by the way. With Tony Velour. NOTE: Free, but tickets required, and all were claimed as of press time; a standby line will be available to fill the room at 8:50 pm in the event of any unused tickets.

Message from WUD: This show is indeed on Friday, not Saturday as published in an email this week. Also, a quick reminder -- tickets are SOLD OUT for this show. If you have a ticket, it'll be valid until 8:50pm. After that point we'll invite in anyone else (18+) in our standby line, up to room capacity. So be sure to arrive early if you want to claim your spot! 

press release: Fast-rising pop duo 100 gecs (Chicago-based producer-songwriter Laura Les and Los Angeles-based producer-songwriter Dylan Brady) share a new track from their forthcoming album 1000 gecs & The Tree of Clues. Taken from and inspired by their critically-acclaimed debut 1000 gecs, 100 gecs are sharing the official remix of their standout track "ringtone" with never-before-heard features from Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, & Kero Kero Bonito. The remix manages to subvert the gecs' glitched out digital noise experiments and buzzsaw guitar-scapes into a hooky banger that shows just how close pop sensibility lingers from 100 gecs' surface. The remix album took shape as the result of crowd-sourcing, including official remixes from friends and familiar names, as well as fans who received stems for the album via the band's Twitter. The remix for "ringtone" follows previously released remixes, "745 Sticky (Injury Reserve Remix)" and "money machine" Remix by A. G. Cook.

"ringtone" (Remix) ft. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, & Kero Kero Bonito is 100 gecs' first offering of the new decade and following a whirlwind 2019 that saw the duo emerge as artists to watch behind their critically-acclaimed debut album 1000 gecs released via Brady's own label, Dog Show records. The gecs also embarked on a North American run with BROCKHAMPTON and slowthai, and somehow simultaneously took part in their own "Secret Tour" which saw the duo headline seven sold-out one-off shows, with dates in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Berkeley, Portland, Santa Ana, and St. Louis.

Listen to "ringtone" (Remix) ft. Charli XCX, Rico Nasty, & Kero Kero Bonito above, see tour dates below and stay tuned for more from 100 gecs coming soon.
