Minimalist composer, guitar god, and Sonic Youth mentor Glenn Branca will bring his "Symphony No.13 (Hallucination City)" to Los Angeles' Walt Disney Concert Hall on March 29. The epic piece calls for 100 guitars-80 regular, 20 bass, with drums as well. The army of musicians who will perform the piece includes Minutemen bass legend Mike Watt and Helmet six-string torturer Page Hamilton. Bring earplugs!

Branca performs his Symphony 13 as part of the two-week Minimalist Jukebox festival, amid works by all your favorite contemporary classical heavy-hitters, like Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and festival director John Adams. The piece, which premiered in its present form this February, will be conducted by John Myers. Juke-fest is presently underway and tickets for all events are available on the festival website.
