Hindu Pez is the aggressive electronic music project of Gabriel Perry (The Wrist Cutter, Black Mass Gathering, Dj Who?, Deathhouse Blues, [0PT-0UT], Hooks And Bullets) est. in Norfolk, VA 2004.

Since early 2004, Hindu Pez has been releasing punishing, brutal, sometimes beautiful, sometimes haunting, and sometimes infectious material. Combining several electronic genres (sometimes within the same song), Hindu Pez brings the experience of extreme performances, bizarre makeup and blinding lights that one could only find in a sweaty, 4am basement party in questionable parts of town.

It’s part Dj, part destruction, part cry-for-help, part kabuki theater, and part wanderlust wrapped in malt liquor bottles being thrown about the room, for good measure. What you hear will hurt you.

FÄWN, the succubitch of the RVA underground. It’s not just a DJ set, it’s a call to move your body and embrace your power. A blend of hard techno, girlpop, and 8-bit video game tracks demanding that you get out on the dance floor and kick up some dust. Emerging from her usual spot under the bridge to play music for you here 💖
