Noise Party, now on its 13th edition, is the premiere Minneapolis based experimental music series that highlights the best established and underground artists from numerous musical backgrounds. Each Noise Party event is curated to offer the most coherent yet diverse batch of music to widen your senses. Noise Party is not a traditional concert, as artists will play back to back in batches of three, with an intermission dividing the night. Accompanied by live analog-based visuals, Noise Party is an immersive audio-visual experience that is nothing like you’ve ever seen before. Each Noise Party is a completely different experience from the last, so come and see what volume 13 has to offer March 1st at the Cedar.
