Concert: MANAS

MANAS was formed in 2012 by guitarist Tashi Dorji and drummer Thom Nguyen. The intensity of their live shows, characterized by Dorji’s angular guitar preparations and Nguyen’s multi-limbed maelstroms exploding outwards in parallel, immediately caught the ear of the sub-underground. For this special show, MANAS will expand into a quartet (or “double duo”) with the addition of drummer Lesley Mok and guitarist Che Chen.

The show will open with Damien Scalise, a guitarist, improviser, composer and performer based in Philadelphia.
