Jan. 2: the birthday of local recording engineer, booker, door guy, and former Chalk leader Connor Spencer Gryder, and the day he debuts his new project Purgatory Creek. Rounded out by drummers Egan and Collin Swayze, guitarist Ryan Masnicki, saxophone/clarinet player Kera Krause, and bassist Miles Oshan, the experimental collective will perform the multi-section piece “Mending” ahead of sets by post-punk trio VVVOOOLLLUUUMMMEEE and Bernardo Mountainair, the psychedelic solo project of Nolan Potter’s Nightmare Band guitarist Dillon Fernandez. – Carys Anderson
