The Low Anthem live at The South Church
3S Artspace is proud to bring Providence, RI residents and Nonesuch recording artists The Low Anthem to the gorgeous South Church in downtown Portsmouth, NH on Saturday, February 25, 2012.
Over the course of the past handful of years and 3 full-length albums, The Low Anthem have not only grown in numbers, they have also added new influences and instruments. After two years of scouring yard sales, attics and eBay while on tour, the band could easily open a second hand music shop, with sufficient peculiarities to be the envy of Brooklyn hipsters and historical preservation societies alike. Most notably they collect and repair antique pump organs, but have also gathered oversized drum kits, hammered dulcimers, autoharps, singing bowls, banjos, steel drums, crotales, horns of all shapes, and a 600 pound pipe organthey are obsessive scavengers, reverent of oddity and fanatical in the search for sound. The eclectic array of instruments used on their most recent release, Smart Flesh, includes jaw harp, musical saw, stylophone, antique organs, and an elaborate scheme to re-amp noise through various chambers of the factory. The resulting sound is an album as interesting as it is beautiful, that can really only be fully understood in the live setting.
Anyone lucky enough to experience this one-of-a-kind performance will not soon forget it.
This event is all ages. Tickets are also available at all Bull Moose locations.
