Terre T is honored to welcome Cleveland legends The Styrenes to the Cherry Blossom Clinic on Saturday May 1st from 3-6 PM. It’s not hyperbole to call the Styrenes – whose members have also been in the equally legendary Electric Eels and the Mirrors – one of the greatest bands in rock history. Rolling Stone called the Styrenes ‘post-punk before punk ever happened,’ but that only scratches the surface of their genius and influence. They’ll be playing at Death By Audio in Brooklyn on April 30th and Manhattan’s Cake Shop on May 1st, but tune into the Cherry Blossom Clinic to hear them lay it down live on WFMU!
The Styrenes on Tour
Apr 26 – The Summit, Columbus, OH
Apr 28 – M Room, Philadelphia, PA
Apr 29 – The Church, Boston, MA
Apr 30 – Death by Audio, Brooklyn, NY
May 1 – Cake Shop, New York, NY

“The concept for the Pi video came to me the same way my songs normally do: IN A VISION FROM GOD! So I wrote down the vision as a video treatment, and then, after reading it, God sent me an estimate for how much it should cost: $110.”
The video is dedicated to the late music British journalist Steven Wells, who while writing for the Philadelphia Weekly challenged the band to make a video.
