FRI 8.01.2014 // Brilliant Beast
$5
all ages
9PM show
opening act: The Post Mortems
Brilliant Beast is a loud band from Minneapolis. Playing in their current formation since 2011, Brilliant Beast released their third album, Where Do You Want, in November 2013 on Guilt Ridden Pop. Led by sibling dual-vocalists Hannah (vocals, guitar) and Jordan Porter (vocals, guitar) and anchored by the breakneck rhythm section of Mark Kartarik (bass) and Eric Whalen (drums), Where Do You Want finds the band expanding their sonic web, picking up elements of fuzzed out power-pop, shoegaze, and punk rock to create a 7-track buzz saw of an album.
Recorded in early June of 2013 at The Old Blackberry Way by Neil Weir, Where Do You Want is Brilliant Beast’s first full studio release, following up 2011’s EP Neighbors (released on cassette by Cakes and Tapes in 2012).

WED 9.17.2014 // Rooms
$5
all ages
8PM show
Since 2012, Rooms has forged a distinctive voice as an
improvising ensemble. Comprised of Dan Pierson on keyboards, Charlie Kirchen on bass, and Matt Carroll on drums, the group plays compositions that provide different improvisational scenarios through variation in structure, mood, and feel. Rather than taking cues from a particular stylistic standard, Rooms’ music is shaped by the energy of the moment, which allows each composition to take on new dimensions from performance to performance.

THU 9.18.2014 // Lowland Hum
$5
all ages
8PM show
opening act: Nate Gordon
gordonmusic.bandcamp.com
Lowland Hum is the multisensory artistic collaboration of Daniel and Lauren Goans. What began as North Carolina folk music has evolved into so much more. Though folk music is their primary medium, they have seamlessly added visual art, print and even smells to create an entirely new live music experience.
Lowland Hum is Daniel Levi and Lauren (Plank) Goans. Hailing from Greensboro, North Carolina, the duo met in 2010. They married in 2012 and spent their first year of marriage touring the East Coast. During this time they began writing the songs that would become their first album, Native Air.
Since releasing Native Air in August 2013, Lowland Hum has performed for 70 audiences in 13 states. Combining Daniel’s musicianship and Lauren’s inclinations in visual art, Lowland Hum’s shows are a multi-sensory experience, engaging sight, sound, smell, and touch–inviting listeners to be fully present and reducing the space between artist and listener. During performances, Lowland Hum readily shares the stories behind their songs and invites listeners to offer real-time reflections.

WED 10.01.2014 // Judson Claiborne + Heaven's Jail
$5
all ages
8PM show
Judson Claiborne is another name for Christopher Salveter and the music made with his comrades. Salveter began writing songs during the late nineties in his birthplace of St. Charles, Missouri. Soon after, he relocated to Chicago and started a band called Low Skies. Stuart Berman of Pitchfork, in his review of Low Skies’ final record wrote that the band resembled “the sunstroked stumble of Crazy Horse (c.f. "Cortez the Killer") and the Dirty Three's desert-dragging dirges” and “Salveter's distinctive vocal [has] a death-bed confessional tremble that doesn't so much suggest a lump in his throat as a tumor”... continue reading
Brooklyn band Heaven's Jail frontman Francesco Ferorelli grew up listening to metal and hip-hop, later discovered country, and now plays indie-rock music. Producer Matthew Houck (of Phosphorescent fame) says of Ferorelli, "[He] is my favorite kind of songwriter — sensitive but not sappy, smart but not precious." Ace Called Zero, the debut album by Heaven's Jail, is due out August 26.
