Multicult, Microwaves, Maple Stave

MULTICULT: Post punk noise rock reminiscent of the heavy noise artisans of the 80s and 90s from Baltimore comes to Slim's! Quirky and mathematical with the bass up front and down low all at once, Multicult is here to both hypnotize and shock you. "The secret to noise rock is that it needs to sound casual, almost chaotic, while also being executed with restraint and precision, by a group that are confident with the choices they take, and execute them with aplomb. Multicult achieve that in spades on their latest full-length, their fourth release since 2010. It's a refreshing take on Steve Albini-esque delivery without use of the man himself." - Pure Grain Audio MICROWAVES: Retro modern music from repeat offenders with an ear for the weird? Yes please! Pittsburgh's Microwaves nukes no wave, prog and noise rock into a rhythmic paranoid soup of neuron frying bliss. Bring your tinfoil hat and your merch money.MAPLE STAVE: Venerable Durham progressive math rockers Maple Stave open the show with the promise of a set spanning the transition between alternative and indie rock. Their stone cold grove, dark lyrics and solid musicianship has made MPLSTV one of my favorite long term locals. Get to the room early and get your ears in that sweet spot mid room
