After going separate ways for a while in 2002, The Black Crowes have returned, with brothers Rich and Chris Robinson once again at the helm. These talented rockers shot to stardom with the hit cover of 'Hard to Handle' back in 1990. With southern rock meets Led Zeppelin inspiration and old timey gusto, the Crowes hit the road to "shake the money makers" once more. Buffalo Killers feature Zachary Gabbard (bass/vox), Andrew Gabbbard (lead guitar/vox), and Joseph Sebaali (drums).

Handsome Furs + Arthur & Yu

Where: Someday Lounge

Date: 2008-04-18 21:00:00

Type:

FRIDAY, APRIL 18 HANDSOME FURS, ARTHUR & YU —9pm, The duo of Handsome Furs began as an idea in the winter of 2006, comprised of Montreal residents Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade) and Alexei Perry. Dark and minimal while noisy and earnest, the point was to be as sparse and repetitive as possible with the help of little more than vocals, guitars, and a new drum machine. Through this, songs of earthbound captains, eggs made of gold and iron, and sleepless bodies were born. Boeckner's disenchanted vocals thinly resonate while cloaked in a frenzied undertone of fear and uncertainty, all punctuated by bare drum machine beats. Through the course of each track, a deep-seated sense of longing is leveled out by staunch realism as a restless disdain for both urban life and smaller towns collide. Handsome Furs toured Europe before having recorded any songs, and has since opened for the likes of Paavoharju, Islaja, David Cross and Modest Mouse without having released a proper record. Recorded at Wolf Parade's studio, Mount Zoomer, in the heart of December, Plague Park is their debut. It is a record of melancholic tendency and heartfelt desire; a stripped down symphony relegated between city and country, and made for ears of either side. Plague Park is out on May 22!
