Mend

Undeniably catchy, deceptively cohesive, and powerfully resonant, MEND is a fascinating experience for people who think of music as a way to explore. The partnership between Kassi Cork, classically trained pianist/keyboardist for the defunct nationally recognized act Cruciform Injection and Max Glascott, technological impressario and experimental noisemaker, MEND showcases an impressive stylistic range, from hip-hop to industrial with nods to dub-step, acid, electro, classical and beyond. Max Glascott is a musician and producer based on Chicago's south side. He started MEND as a departure from his more "well known" and decidedly more experimental and erratic alias, The Abominable Twitch. He joins forces with old lunch-table pal and fellow Martian, Kassi Cork to help compose music from an entirely different angle. Kassi Cork is a classically trained pianist and teacher based in Chicago's western suburbs. She has a long and vibrant history within the industrial scene and has been writing and performing with local outfit, Cruciform Injection, with whom she has toured with nationally and internationally.
