Granpa (Lucas Abela)Harsh noise meets bloodcraft when Granpa (Lucas Abela) hits the stage. His free jazz inspired sounds — achieved by blowing on amplified shards of glass with his mouth (and sometimes bloodying himself in the process) — have toured the world since the ‘90s and were featured on Death Grips’ 2018 album Year of the Snitch. This one-of-a-kind show will be an out-of-body audio experience for the ages.
