The Belle Game tour just kicked off last week, but they come to us all the way from Vancouver. We’re happy to have them back after seeing their delightfully dark live show last year when they stopped here on their tour with Bear Mountain. They’re stopping at the Empty Bottle as part of their detailed U.S. tour which has them traveling to all the cool cities and discussing how frequent pioneers got laid.Woven together by lines of witchy guitars and threads of reverby keyboards, The Belle Game’s music is like a shadowy blanket. No - a shadowy snuggie, which keeps you feeling warm and comfortable, but also leaves your hands free for drinking. Come snuggle up to a glass of something dark, or several and drink till it’s hump day.There will be plenty of time for you to sit home alone playing Legend of Zelda after the show is over. We know that’s what The Belle Game will be doing.While many bands are content to explore a singular sound The Belle Game can go from wild and witchy to elegantly somber in the same song. The perfect thing for enjoy these last superbly dark days of Winter. Pretty soon it’ll be outdoor festival season again. There will be lots of sunshine and cheer and happiness, and you’ll just wish you could sit in a dark bar and drink some dark beer and listen to some well-crafted dark pop music. Trust us.The Belle Game play here TONIGHT with a pair of terrific locals. Catch them with, The Dead Woods, and Gold Cult here, since they’re not playing anywhere else in town. Doors at 8:30 and a mere $10 gets you in for the evening.
