If you've ever listened to WFMU or read their fantastic blog, then you're probably already aware of Brian Joseph Davis. He's the guy who recorded strangers singing The Beatles' Yesterday from memory and copied banned records after burning them. I think that it would be fair to call Davis the most punk of the current generation of sound artists. Like the best experimental music, his ideas have a way of becoming less ridiculous after you listen to them.

Davis will be performing some of his works this Thursday at The Lab, as well as reading from his new fictional Patty Hearst autobiography, I, Tania.

His show was going to be at 21 Grand, but apparently our favorite venue in the East Bay has been getting into some trouble with the city of Oakland. So his performance is merging with a reading by Instant City and Small Desk Press. Should be a great time.
