Russian Circles

Russian Circles is a three piece instrumental band from Chicago. It would be tough to imagine that a band would be able to develop its own unique presence and innovation with such solid groundwork in the instrumental genre. However, Russian Circles does bring something new to the table. Their songs feel incredibly narrative and linear. There is no angular flash or mathematical flair. These songs stream through themes and by no means build on just one repeating idea. They are gargantuan in scope. They flow seamlessly from beautiful soft ambience to truly defined melody to massively thick heaviness with a gradual progression that never leaves you lost. Variety is no gimmick and they are a band that does not just vacillate within an achieved sonic identity.

8:00PM Members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Donna Feore, director Lecture on the Weather, John Cage Texts by Henry David Thoreau 10:30PM Late Night Poetry Slam hosted by Kalimah “Locmama” Johnson “Do not go gentle into that good night.” Dylan Thomas Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and it certainly doesn’t happen quietly. Opposition against social injustice and oppressive governments can erupt through sit-ins, protests, riots and civil war. Readings from the works of Henry David Thoreau, punctuated by a John Cage score, intertwine to create an avant-garde musical theatre piece that challenges the status quo. At Poetry night, Detroit’s best spoken word artists tackle issues of race, sex, culture, war, justice – and virtually every topic imaginable – unleashing biting humor, incisive commentary and brilliant wordplay.
