NEW YORK - NERD ANNIVERSARY

Celebrating the 15-year anniversary of the obscure yet utterly prolific, unnerving and annoying Midwestern harsh-noise band you’ve kept with your buddy is nerdier than naked forest booger wars. But really, the two dudes in Cock E.S.P., who dress in hillbilly animal-fucker costumes that look like they’ve been used to wipe their asses for the last 15 years and nearly kill each other every time they play, have never pretended to be cool. So if the large, friendly crowds and listenable music you’ll find at CMJ aren’t your thing, go check out their antisocial bonanza on Friday at Death By Audio (it'll be Cock E.S.P.'s first show in town in six years), U Can Unlearn Guitar, White Mice, Suffering Bastard, Laundryroom Squelchers, Future Blondes, Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck, Sanguine Piss, Tusco Terror, Radio Shock, and Cock E.S.P. side project WRONG.

Here's a video of their tour last year.
