Clare Armory
1975 – February 24, 2011
Clare Armory was a vocalist and dancer for New York City underground experimental noise merchants, Excepter. Formed in 2002, the group built a sizable following thanks in part to their noise-riddled improvisational live shows and recordings. Many fans and critics considered them to be at the top of the Brooklyn noise heap which also included the likes of Animal Collective. Excepter released several records over the past few years on such labels as the highly regarded experimental Load Records, and Animal Collective’s own Paw Tracks label. Clare Armory was 35 when she passed away from cancer on February 24, 2011.
