Psych weirdoes of the world, unite and take over. It's not quite globe-shaking, but on April 17, two new bands formed from left-of-center indie luminaries will invade NYC's New Museum as part of the Get Weird series.

The bands are called Fakey and Hex Message. The former is a "power trio" consisting of Joe Williams (aka White Williams), Deerhunter's Moses Archuleta, and Ecstatic Sunshine's Matthew Papich. The latter is a collaboration between Excepter's Dan Hougland, Rings' Abby Portner, gallerist Pascal Spengemann, and artist Andrew Kuo.

Curated by former FADER editor-in-chief Alex Wagner, Get Weird is a performance series at the New Museum that happens on the third Thursday of each month.
