Buscemi, Steve & Elliott Sharp - Rub Out The Word [CD]

Two significant figures in the formation of New York’s so-called ‘Downtown’ scene, multiinstrumentalist/ composer Elliott Sharp and actor/director Steve Buscemi have teamed up intermittently throughout the years to perform together. On April 21, 2014, the pair met up at Issue Project Room to kick off the final week of WSB100, New York’s month-long celebration for the 100th anniversary of the birth of iconoclastic American writer William S. Burroughs. Taken from the recordings of that performance, this CD features a series of collaged sounds and spoken texts from throughout William Burroughs’s written output.
