[EXPERIMENTAL] Led by vocalist and instrumentalist Nola Ranallo, Cages is an experimental music group. Accompanied by her songwriting partner, David Bailey, the pair blur the line between pop and the avant-garde with their sonically spectacular live performance. When the band comes to Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center for a performance on Saturday, January 10, for the release of their latest album, Vivipary, their live show will be even further enhanced through their collaboration with several multifaceted and talented musicians including Wooden Cities, Steve Baczkowski, David Adamczyk, Alex Glenfield, and Gas Chamber. For their first set, the band will work with Wooden Cities, Baczkowski, Adamczyk, and Glenfield to present the first side of their new record, adding an improvisational touch that should “evoke a sonical pastoral grid.” For their second set, Cages will work with Gas Chamber, which they say should display the “brutality and density” of side B of the record. Says the group: “This will be an extreme expression of what is within and outside of us all.”
