Music
Bowery Electric's music defies easy classification. The group earned critical acclaim for experimentation across several genres and mixing elements of ambient, drone, electronic and experimental music with '70's soul, dub, disco, experimental rock and hip hop. They were one of the first American bands to perform live with a laptop, mixer and sampler on stage alongside bass, drums, and guitars.
