Dan Deacon/Video Hippos/Mom (The Cavern): We've talked enough about Dan Deacon today, but a couple things about this show that you might like to know: 1) by all accounts, this show will probably sell out, and it might do so quickly. 2) both of the opening bands are well worth seeing. The message? You'll probably want to show up early for this one.

Drenches/Villa Valley/Weak Sisters/Ferveur Noire/Aunt'sAnalog (House of Tinnitus): This looks like it' s going to be one of the more extreme and challenging shows in the area in sometime. This is an all noise show, harsh and sonorous to a degree that makes the average metal show seem tame in comparison. Drenches use tape manipulation mixed with electronics to create a splattering drill-like cacophony. Their tour-mates Villa Valley sound slightly more dynamic and haunting with longer rumbling expanses to offset the violent peaks in the music. Weak Sisters mix together older noise techniques with modern "power electronics" and add a little tortured screaming for good measure. Aunt's Analog and the lesser known Ferveur Noir are both from Austin, have similar approaches, and are equally impressive in their performance ethic, as evidenced in this Ferveur Noir video from the "No Future Fest." And remember kids, it's BYOB. That Foster's you've been jacking cost somebody real dollar bills. Speaking of dollar bills, these are touring bands, so donate accordingly. video
