KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES in the Pike Room
Who is this manic Master of Ceremonies who openly confesses to the two grand black bohemians said to be lunatic Sun Ra and George Clinton, and whose stagings certainly remind us of a young Herman Sonny Blount and his Solar Arkestra? KING KHAN, a tongue-in-cheek retro revivalist channeling the 13th Floor Elevators...a Hindu James Brown fronting a dangerously funky garage rock/show band hybrid...a man who spews musical voodoo on par w/ the late, great Screamin' Jay Hawkins...KING KHAN is all that and more. Hailing from Montreal, he had his start in band The Spaceshits, but gained notoriety for his time in The King Khan & BBQ Show. He moved to Berlin, Germany in 1999 and formed The Shrines. Their THREE HAIRS AND YOUR MINE debut LP was released in 2002. It was followed by MR. SUPERNATURAL in 2004 and WHAT IS?! in 2007. This album Retains the funky, horn-laden ethos of the band with a garage rock twist, this album is painfully authentic sounding in it's raw production. Doors at 8pm. $10 in advance! all ages.

BON IVER at the Crofoot Ballroom
A special seated show in the Crofoot Ballroom with BON IVER: Bon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for "good winter" and spelled wrong on purpose) is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundwork for a lasting career. For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut of this lineage of songs. As a whole, the record is entirely cohesive throughout and remains centered around a particular aesthetic, prompted by the time and place for which it was recorded. Justin Vernon seems to have tested his boundaries to the utmost, and in doing so has managed to break free form any pre-cursing or finished forms. Bon Iver's music contains thick layers draped in lush choral walls, with rarely more than an ancient acoustic guitar or the occasional bass drum providing structure. Vernon sings the majority of the record in falsetto, which painfully expresses the meanings behind its overt, yet strangely entangled words. This newfound vocal path acts as each song's main character and source of melody. Despite its complexity, this music is created entirely by Vernon with nothing more than a few microphones and some aged recording equipment. This homemade aspect shows itself in sections as creaks and accidentals are exposed in the folds of the songs, but is hidden well by the highly impressive and almost orchestral sound
