Dillon Butcher | Helena | Frogmeat

Jazzfest! Step out of the bustle of Cuba and Courtenay Place and experience an intimate compositional duo at Pyramid Club. Supported by Newtown’s best and brightest, Dillon and Helena will explore beyond usual jazz standards as they present their collaborative works.

Frogmeat, also known as Frogmeet in collaboration, is a flexible noise project venturing explosive forecastings of yet-uncapturable crevice-presences. Convened by multimedia artist / musician Frankass Sophia Frudd and composer / violinist Mallory Elmo, it lends its name and spirit to their performances as a duo or with occasional and regular collaborators.
