International Anthem & Pique-nique Present: Ben LaMar Gay’s Yowzers at New York Concerts & Events - Monday, May 5 2025 | Discotech

**\*Location will be shared in the event confirmation email\***

Advance album listening · Artist talk · DJ sets by Loum + Proudfoot (Pique-nique)

International Anthem and Pique-nique invite you to a special evening with composer, improviser, instrumentalist, and musical folklorist **Ben LaMar Gay** to celebrate his forthcoming album **Yowzers** — a joyfully irreverent psychedelic fantasia of folklore, free jazz, and avant-garde blues, out June 6 on International Anthem.

On Monday, May 5th, be among the first to hear the full album in an immersive setting at Light and Sound Design, a private loft in Greenpoint outfitted with a vintage 4-point Klipschorn sound system.

Following the listening, Ben LaMar Gay will join us in conversation to share insights behind the music: his process, collaborators, and the poetic duality behind the title, “yowzers”, as both a sigh of absurdity and a cry of amazement.

DJ sets before and after by Loum + Proudfoot (Pique-nique) will frame the night.

**RSVP does not garantee entry:** seating is very limited and first come, first serve. Early arrival is encouraged ? Secret location in Greenpoint will be shared in the confirmation email.

Accessibility: not wheelchair accessible (stairs only).

Presented by International Anthem & Pique-nique.

This is a 21+ event.
