Artist: Fan Wu
Song: [excerpt]
Recorded at Burdock Music Hall, February 8, 2026.
Fan Wu's performance art can be music-based but that's often just one container for an ongoing series of explorations that encompass both pop glam and weltvernichtungsdenken (or, perhaps, ego-indulgence and ego-death), delivered with a veneer of gleeful homoeroticism. The arc of this set saw him crawling (blindly and robe-covered) to the stage to reveal himself like a plague-fearing penitent, uncloaking and turning his back to the crowd to self-flagellate with a string of bells jingling merrily to each meaty thud against flesh. With whatever sins or fears thusly released, the set closed with a dance party (or fetish party) with some air-violin playing. The whole thing was excellently abetted by Kieran Adams, sitting behind a table of electronics and closely-mic'ed percussion implements.
