Seth Faergolzia, founder of the New York Antifolk/Freakfolk band, Dufus, will be touring Europe in support of two new releases (Faergolzia: Tape 2 and Channel Faergolzia), one highly experimental, the other featuring some of his most recent songs produced by Josh Channel, an NYC electronic music composer. He’ll be performing new work as well as older Dufus songs, answering requests from audience members. Seth’s music is both heartfelt and silly, his voice elastic and versatile, his lyrics naked and poignant, his performance dynamic and abundant. Seth will also be bringing a number of his own art/clothing creations, which have received critical acclaim and have hung with such artists as Jean-Michel Basquiat. Dufus has performed with such acts as Animal Collective, the Yeahyeahyeahs, Black Dice, Jeffrey Lewis,Of Montreal, and Moldy Peaches. This will be a show you do not want to miss.
