Watch COME play four songs in France! See them this Friday!
Submit to the darkness this Friday, as COME brings their dissonant alt-rock majesty to our humble stage. Led by guitarist/singer THALIA ZELEK, the band creates shadowy atmosphere while playing chords and grooves designed to make you feel literally all the feels. Need proof? The video below is seventeen minutes of raw emotional evidence. With bluesy and bonecrushing riffs crashing alongside ZELEK's powerful howls and dynamic rhythm section, it's hard not to wonder why this band didn't make it as big as their contemporaries in NIRVANA and SONIC YOUTH. Their atmosphere is aching and melancholy, but somewhere within the strata of sadness, there is strength and light.Opening the show will be WREKMEISTER HARMONIES, the minimalistic synth/ambient/drone project of J.R. ROBINSON, who blew us away mere weeks ago at the Bohemian National Cemetery show. Combined with his visual projections, this venture explores some of the murkiest depths of the genre. His performance will include ANNE PATTERSON on cello, ESTHER SHAW on violin, JAIME FENNELLY on harmonium, MARK SOLOTROF on electronics, CHRIS BROKAW on guitar, and of course, J.R. ROBINSON on electronics, guitar and vocals. BROTHER JT, the experimental and psych-minded alter-ego of JOHN TERLESKY, will be following J.R. & co. with his unpredictably bold sonic stylings. Should you like what you hear - and wethinks you will - be sure and grab his Thrill Jockey debut, The Svelteness of Boogietude, released earlier this year.Doors are at 9:00, Show starts at 9:30. Tickets are $15.
