CANTWELL, GOMEZ & JORDAN, DIG SHOVEL DIG
RESERVOIRTriangle favorites CG&J are a three-piece wrecking ball covered in spikes: Aggressively angular and terrifically involving, they jar the senses with fast/heavy/mathy drum aplomb, big, hanging bass punctuation, twisted guitar sinews and melodies tight as stretched steel. Asheville's Dig Shovel Dig alternates between re-equalized Excepter or something more revelatory. Recommended. Also, Celestial Business. The free show begins at 10 p.m. Grayson Currin
