Eclectic Chicago based label Thrill Jockey is planning a party in New York from 5 – 7 Sep to celebrate its tenth anniversary. A host of Thrill Jockey acts are set to perform including Tortoise, Trans Am, Fred Anderson, Bobby Conn, the National Trust, the Chicago Underground Duo, and Town And Country. Tortoise, perhaps the label’s best know act internationally, will play their own set and then act as backing band to singer/songwriter Sue Garner for two songs. There will be three shows over the weekend, all of which will feature a video display from Japanese electronica artist Nobukazu Takemura and DJ sets from Tone B. A movie featuring Thrill Jockey artists and high profile fans like Steve Albini, Bjork, and Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore will also be shown.
