Buildings + Gay Witch Abortion
$8 in advance
10:30pm doors/11pm showtime
Buildings:
Formed in 2006, BUILDINGS is a (insert label) three piece from Minneapolis. Their music is loud, aggressive, and dynamic. Melt Cry Sleep is the band's 2nd full-length, and the follow up to 2008's self-released Braille Animal (recently reissued on doubleplusgood). Engineer, Jacques Wait (Off With Their Heads, Motion City Soundtrack) has perfectly reined in the band's furious energy, allowing the 10 tightly wound tracks on Melt Cry Sleep room to breathe in contrast to their raw & visceral live sets. In April 2012, bass player Sayer Payne left the band with Ryan Harding joining the fray.
One might think from the blistering opener "Rainboat" that it's all loud, fast rules, but BUILDINGS is deceptive in their songwriting. Often switching gears several times within a song, as evidenced on tracks "Born on a Bomb" and "Invocation". New bassist Sayer Payne's driving bass lines and Travis Kuhlman's frantic drumming work in tandem to steer through the chaos on songs like "I Don't Love My Dog Anymore" and "Night Cop. Combined with Brian Lake's snarling vocals and eerie, atonal guitar on songs like "Wrong Cock" and the madness of closer, "Crystal City", BUILDINGS never end where they began. Melt Cry Sleep will be available on CD & digitally through doubleplusgood records, with the LP version mastered by Bob Weston released via Cash Cow Productions. In April 2012, bass player Sayer Payne left the band with Ryan Harding joining the fray.
Gay Witch Abortion:
Brutally vengeful art formed in the bowls of the Twin Cities. Gay Witch Abortion's debut album "MAVERICK" jams itself into that sort of a classification. Like a unicorn spearing it's prey, having so little patience it completely shreads the kittens into tiny morsels of sweet bloody pulp candies. The taste of blood has ruined many a creature, there is a simplistic aura surrounding the violence, drawing you in, just close enough to feel the power, but still leaving an unconquered taste in your soul. So you go back and try it again and again. Getting your senses tugged and thwarted back and forth by the punishing beauty of the hunt.
This duo of Shawn Walker and Jesse Bottemly combine together to puree a gigantic rhythemic stew of guitar and drums. If you close your eyes, you might find yourself imagining your childhood, putting you fingers in to the ceiling fan, it hurts, but it brings a sense of power and risk. Doing the wrong thing, instead of the right thing. Perhaps drawing blood, breaking something. Getting in trouble. This is your sound track. Punishing and aggressive, a tornado's ballad. Lighting and thunder rain down from the speakers without regard for shelter or comfort. Real power, natural power, the sounds of Gay Witch Abortion.
