@ CLUNY 2, NOVEMBER 29th.

from Southern Lord Bio;
"During the Summer of 2002 at an Earth First rendezvous in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State, guitarist Nathan Weaver was inspired to create a band that merged a Cascadian eco-spiritual awareness with the misanthropic Norwegian eruptions of the 90's. The band envisioned would strive to create a mythic space where artist and listener alike could strip away the mindset of the mundane to reveal a more ancient and transcendent consciousness. The mysterious and wild energies of the untrammeled forests of the Northwest would be channeled into sonic form."

"The fall of 2006 brought a pact with Southern Lord records and the beginning of a relationship with producer-engineer Randall Dunn. (SUNN O))), Earth, Grails) Their epic album Two Hunters is a masterfully dark and emotional document that further established Wolves in the Throne Room as a band totally unafraid to follow their own path."

Reviews:
"dark, haunting music that's as gorgeous as it is ugly. "

Last Lungs @ Head Of Steam, November 19th

portions presents:

LAST LUNGS (Deep Elm)
http://www.myspace.com/lastlungs

@ Head Of Steam, Friday November 19th

for fans of; Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai, Appleseed Cast

"A meticulous merger of glistening beauty and glaring power, LAST LUNGS glows on their debut with a sprawling display of melody, mood and superior sonic craftsmanship. Like am old grizzly bear walking ever so gently through the forest knowing it can exert tremendous force at will, the album alternates unpredictably between explosive intensity and sparkling serenity...whispering and screaming, all without words. The flawless flow of soaring guitars and storming soundscapes aside, it's really Last Lungs' keen ability to know just when to punch in and pull back that undoubtedly casts an anchor for this band on the modern instrumental stage. Look At That Old Grizzly Bear is elegantly epic, sweepingly cinematic music that always pays off."

Titus Andronicus @ Cluny 2 November 23rd

portions for foxes presents:















TITUS ANDRONICUS (US, Xl Records)

...Titus Andronicus is a punk/indie rock band from Glenn Rock New Jersey.

Their two records 2008's 'Airing Of Grievances' and 2010's 'The Monitor', with their sprawling song lengths and euphoric sing along moments, give an impression of what Bruce Springsteen would sound like if he were raised on Neutral Milk Hotel or My Bloody Valentine records rather than Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison.

'The Monitor', Titus' loosely conceptual album based on the American Civil War (with a lyric sheet that reads like Albert Camus if he were Not In Education, Employment or Training) is the funnest, most singularly giant sized 'FUCK YOU' to the modern world ever commited to plastic.
Pianos crash, lead guitars howl squealing rock and roll jigs over velvety beds of shoegaze fuzz, harmonicas, trumpets, strings and bagpipes swell and lift, grab you by the gut, by the ear; yelling sweat-drenched, feverish glee between the earlobes. It's almost impossible not to sing along,
