CLUES
BELLA KOSHKA
QUIST AND THE HATS 

CLUES began building in secret in the summer of 2007, playing a series of un-advertised shows in small Montréal venues. Emerging above-ground in 2008, their first performances elicited passionate responses from both audiences and music media. During live shows and on recordings, the band share and trade-off on their extensive collection of instruments and create a hopeful, urgent music that expands Montréal’s (already diverse) pop music lexicon, with references to post-punk and experimental music traditions. CLUES’ concerts incorporate multiple drummers, a Commodore 64, and an OLPC.

Black Dice // Wolf Eyes @ Triple Rock

MPSHOWS.COM AND VITA.MN PRESENT 

BLACK DICE
WOLF EYES
ADIDAS 

BLACK DICE
Black Dice is a noise rock/experimental band based in Brooklyn, New York, USA. They formed in spring, 1997 at the Rhode Island School of Design and are currently signed to DFA Records. The group began as a harsh, noisy thrash outift, with a sound far different from the more psychedelic leanings of the last few albums.
WOLF EYES 
Since getting their start in the cassette underground in 1997, Wolf Eyes have produced over 40 releases, each archiving a beautifully troubling practice. With an approach to music akin to Vienna Actionism or a second-generation snuff film, Wolf Eyes bleed analog, mark their territory with piss, and shout all crazed over layers of sirens and random pulses. Aaron Diloway (Hanson Records), John Olson (American Tapes), and Nate Young (who builds much of Wolf Eyes’ equipment) are Ann Arbor, Michigan’s most interesting band, and the town’s most explosive assault on regularity since Negative Approach busted up in 1984, or perhaps since John Brannon’s post-Negative Approach act Laughing Hyenas hit their peak around 1990. Their songs are a churning mass in the continually evolving oeuvre of one of the underground’s most important tweaked-out bands. Outside any historical context, it force-feeds you, one by one, the screeching souls of those crickets you tortured as a kid.
