HOTEL HOTEL, PHON, REMORA
THE POUR HOUSEGiven the three experimental bands on the bill, this isn’t your typical night at The Pour House. Hotel Hotel’s thick, textural drones move toward the ascendancy of Brian Eno’s early ambient works through the circumspect rhythmic movement of post-rock. Raleigh’s Phon sculpts sea-floor covers with guitars and gadgets. Sibler Record affiliate Remora fits the middle of the bill. This free show begins at 10 p.m. Grayson Currin
