New Haven Jazz Underground presents Pulverize the Sound live at Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Fri., Mar. 22. The show starts 7 PM and the cover is $10.

Pulverize the Sound—Peter Evans (trumpets), Tim Dahl (electric bass, vocals), Mike Pride (drums and percussion)—was formed in 2010, out of the intensely collaborative, hybridized, prolific and promiscuous scene of NYC experimental music. Its members have clocked in time with musicians and bands from a huge variety of scenes, always ending up in a place peripheral to any definable genre.

Collectively, the members of Pulverize the Sound have worked with Lydia Lunch, Evan Parker, Frank Lowe, Child Abuse, Mary Halvorson, JG Thirlwell, Archie Shepp, Craig Taborn, Weasel Walter, Kanye West. MDC, and Mick Barr. In more than a decade of constant rehearsal and performance in the fertile DIY scene of NYC, Pulverize has explored an enormous range of original music from delicate chamber music textures to sprawling modernist composition and free improvisation.

PTS has released three albums: their eponymous debut in 2015, Sequel in 2018, and Black, in 2022.
