Brooklyn-based noise/drone duo Grasshopper performed live on Radio Heart on Sunday November 13 at 4pm ET. They played 2 separate sets, and even did a few hilarious “man on the street” interviews. You can listen to an archive of the show here.
More on Grasshopper:
Using trumpets, effects and an EVI, members Josh Millrod and Jesse DeRosa have crafted a singular sound, which is at times ominous and transcendent. Both classically trained horn players, their unique approach to the trumpet is informed equally by figures as various as Miles Davis, Morton Subotnick and Wolf Eyes, resulting in compositions akin to a grittier Brian Eno or low-fi Jon Hassell. Their most recent releases are a cassette on 905 Tapes entitled “Classical Music” and an LP “Goodnight My Sweet Prince” on Baked Tapes. Their premiere vinyl release “Calling All Creeps” came out last year on Prison Tatt Records.
