Non-Event's hot new fundraiser show returns. This beautiful thing is a result of covid indeed but one of those good kinds... The ones in which you can kick back, tune in and sample the best experimental music in New England from anywhere in the world, all while supporting the ones keeping the culture alive. Starting at 8pm TOMORROW YALL December 17th from 8PM to December 18th 8PM supporters will feast on artist videos, interviews, a live call-in show, experimental short films, studio visits, tutorials, random weird stuff, plus tons of live videos and recordings from the Non-Event archives… and puppets.
This is actually their second 24 hour streaming fundraiser of the year, the first aired in July and it was everything you would expect from such a trusted force in the effort to discover, uncover and elevate each other. May all godly beings who crave boundary pushing art forms (thats you) support this effort by tuning in HERE (twitch.tv/nonevent) and contributing anything you can HERE (nonevent.org/membership). Either way and even if the way-out is not for you please share with that friend who is never satisfied with the status quo of music, they will thank you for saving them from boredom.
For the second edition they will rerun some of the best segments from NE TV1 but mostly will be bringing out new and archival footage including some of the great Non-Event performances we have enjoyed over the past 20 years. Oh did we mention NE turned 20 this summer? True champions of the scene. Help us keep them programming in 2022. PEEP nonevent.org for complete NETV 2 listings and I’ll see you out there! (virtually of course) !
