bloodsports (SXSW)
Head to Hotel Vegas for the official Bloodsports event, where the Brooklyn rockers unleash their sweaty, angular post-rock vibes straight from the New York DIY scene!
This official bash celebrates their debut LP Anything Can Be A Hammer—a dynamic mix of sonic strain, economical melodies, and self-destructive experimentation that’s got blood in its veins. Catch Sam Murphy (guitar/vox), Jeremy Mock (guitar), Liv Eriksen (bass/vox), and Scott Hale (drums) as they blend avant-garde tension with cathartic blowouts.
- Expect theatrical slowcore builds, blown-out distortion, and hypnotic rhythms that linger long after.
- Perfect for fans of Swans, Iceage, and Interpol—fragile yet abundant sounds exploring our obsessions.
- Grab badges or wristbands for priority access and dive into the pulse-pounding energy!
