SUMMARY:IAMX
DESCRIPTION:IAMX \nMON\, 30 APR 2018 at 08:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 07:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 15 Dec 2017 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Wed\, 13 Dec 2017 at 08:00AM MST \nIAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner\, formerly of the band Sneaker Pimps. Founded in 2004 in London\, it is an independent music project which also focuses on and experiments with visual art.Musically\, IAMX spans multiple genres from electronic rock and dance music to burlesque influenced songs and emotional ballads. Corner’s striking and wide ranging voice\, and his way of programming sounds and beats is an obvious characteristic of the IAMX sound.\nSince 2006\, IAMX has been based in Berlin\, Germany where Corner has found “the spirit to care less about the music industry and take an independent route.”Berlin is also mentioned in the lyrics which concern subjects such as sexual identity\, death\, love\, narcotic intoxication\, decadence\, critique of religion and politics\, alienation\, addiction\, modern society and gender bending. The topic of gender bending is further emphasised by Corner’s own distinctive and androgynous image.\nLive\, IAMX are known for their highly energetic and theatrical performances. Unusual stage outfits and body painting are also core elements of IAMX shows.The stage design consists of art and props constructed by Corner and his live band members.\nThe visual art element of the project can be seen in the IAMX music videos and in the projections at their live shows. Both contain sometimes strong and controversial visual content\, often directed\, shot and edited by Corner himself.\nTo date\, IAMX has released four studio albums\, all of which have been released independently and produced by Corner

SUMMARY:of Montreal
DESCRIPTION:OF MONTREAL\nwith Locate S\,1 \nSAT\, 28 APR 2018 at 09:00PM MDT\nDoors Open: 08:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 19 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Wed\, 17 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST \nInnocence Reaches begins with a query. “How do you identify?” coos a robotic voice over a strikingly modern mix of bright synthpop and surging rave. The question too feels very of its time—as outdated ideas about gender and attraction are being overturned—but it’s also a fair ask whenever of Montreal debuts an album.\nThe project’s 14th LP follows two full decades of mercurial creative mania: swallowing up ’60s psych-pop\, Prince-ly funk\, and glammy prog in turn; morphing freely between full-band affair and cloistered confessional booth; comprising lyrics both painfully personal and absurdly fantastical; and recently drawing site-specific inspiration from culture capitals like San Francisco or New York City. The thread that runs through it all is Athens\, GA’s Kevin Barnes\, and Innocence Reaches finds him at his most light-hearted in years\, working a Parisian stint\, Top 40 sounds\, and his newfound single status into the kaleidoscopic swirl. Even as he continues to sift the sonic and emotional detritus of his past\, Barnes sums up his current mood in the opener’s title: “let’s relate.”\nThe most immediate surprise is the sound. Innocence Reaches is touched by contemporary electronica\, indie pop\, and EDM. For the first time in his career\, Barnes tuned into now. “Forever I’ve been detached from current music\,” he says. “I got into this bubble of only being in some other time period. I came up picking apart the Beach Boys\, the Beatles\, and symphonic pieces. But last year\, I was hearing Jack Ü\, Chairlift\, Arca\, and others\, thinking about low end and sound collage. It was an extra layer to geek out on.”\nParis helped with that. Barnes lived in a friend’s studio for two weeks. It was in an apartment complex and\, as he prefers to work at night\, he couldn’t thrash loud instruments for fear of noise complaints from the neighbors. But the in-house arsenal of vintage synthesizers and drum machines was fair game—check the skittering beats of “a sport and a pastime” and thick hum of “chap pilot.”\nBy day\, Barnes wandered Père Lachaise Cemetery\, sat at cafés and wrote poems\, read Jeans Ganet and Cocteau\, or eavesdropped on conversations he couldn’t translate. “Being in that place where no one looks at me twice and I can’t even understand the language was like entering a parallel universe\,” recalls Barnes. “It was cathartic and inspiring to amputate myself from my normal life and feel like an individual outside of all the baggage and memories.”\nEnjoying anonymity\, he sorted through the inner wreckage left by his divorce two years prior\, and took stock of the briefer relationships since. “my fair lady” bids adieu to a familiar figure over sax-streaked disco-funk\, but we soon meet Sarah from Detroit on darkwave dream “ambassador bridge\,” and Gabrielle the Athenian Beach Goth amid the trappy space-glitch of “trashed Exes.” In “les chants de maldoror\,” our hero cooly declares\, “We only act nicely when we’re ruining hotel beds/I greeted you in a hundred doorways.” Innocence Reaches continues of Montreal’s recent autobiographical streak\, which finds Barnes “fetishizing reality\,” as he puts it.\nBut he’s concerned with a broader reality as well. “it’s different for girls” is an exploration of the “dilemme féminin”. Combining Daft Punk’s aptitude for groove with LCD Soundsystem’s wit—an endlessly quotable track that has Barnes outlining the dangers inherent in binary gendering: “It’s different for girls\,from when they are children they’re de-personalized\, aggressively objectified…” and later Barnes sings “It’s different for girls\, they are mercurial creatures\, not a masculine dissonance or sexual currency”. The song is less feminine anthem and more pop exegesis of societal codes. “though some women are demons all of them are God”. Indeed.\nApropos\, Innocence Reaches’ cover design was an attempt by a new first-time father—Kevin’s brother David—to express his “wonderment for the female anatomy.” And the aforementioned “let’s relate” was indeed inspired by trans issues\, a subject dear to Barnes’ heart. “I have a history of gender-bending in performances\, but that’s also always been a part of my identity as a human\,” he says. “I’m thankful to have an outlet for that\, to express that and not get chased out of town or beat up. I think we’re moving in the right direction now.” The song is a call to find common ground in simply being human: “I like that you like you/I think that you’re great/I want to relate\,” he sings cheerily.\nInnocence Reaches features darker moments to be sure—isolation\, anger\, indifference\, and the feeling that\, like a Truffaut film\, madness lurks just outside the frame—but as Barnes explains\, “Epiphany comes from breakdown. If you can stay open and vulnerable\, the nebulous becomes transparent. That’s one of the magical aspects of writing from personal life.”\nSometimes you’ve gotta intentionally court a little chaos in order to make one of the best\, weirdest\, brightest\, catchiest\, and most inventive albums in your already incredible catalog.

SUMMARY:The Brothers Comatose with The Sam Chase & The Untraditional
DESCRIPTION:THE BROTHERS COMATOSE WITH THE SAM CHASE & THE UNTRADITIONAL \nFRI\, 27 APR 2018 at 09:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 08:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 2 Feb 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 30 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST \nWhether traveling to gigs on horseback or by tour bus\, Americana mavens The Brothers Comatose forge their own path with raucous West Coast renderings of traditional bluegrass\, country and rock ‘n’ roll music. The five-piece string band is anything but a traditional acoustic outfit with their fierce musicianship and rowdy live shows reminiscent of stadium rock concerts. In fall 2017\, “Campfire Caravan” featuring The Brothers Comatose\, Mipso\, and The Lil Smokies hosts three of today’s foremost emerging indie Americana bands as they trek across the United States to more than 30 cities. “Campfire Caravan” honors the musicians’ early days playing music\, when they’d perform for friends and family in basements\, living rooms\, and around campfires. “Campfire Caravan” celebrates the American tradition of gathering communities around music.\nFollowing three critically acclaimed full-length studio albums (Songs From The Stoop\, Respect The Van\, City Painted Gold)\, the five-piece string band disrupts the traditional album cycle and focuses their 2017/2018 release schedule on a series of strategically released songs. On Sept. 8\, 2017\, The Brothers Comatose releases a sun-soaked new single “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go” produced by indie-rock legend John Vanderslice. Channeling harmony vanguards The Beach Boys\, “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go” is a nod to the delicate dance between two friends and trusting fate to either bring them romantically together or not. With lyrics written by the band’s tour manager Joe Pacini\, lead singer Ben Morrison lends his crooning baritone to the fast-paced\, feel good song.\n“Going into the studio with Vanderslice was all about capturing the moment on analog tape\,” says Ben. “We set out to record in a way we’ve never previously attempted. We did it live with all of us playing in the same room as if we were performing on stage. Vanderslice really understood the sonic landscape we were going for. He’s really a super producer\, being a musician who has cut a lot of records of his own and produced albums by many great artists.” The Brothers Comatose entered Vanderslice’s Tiny Telephone (San Francisco) studio with drafts of “Don’t Make Me Get Up And Go.” After working out the verses and chorus in the studio\, bassist Gio Benedetti came up with the three-part harmony bridge. Vanderslice had the trio of Ben\, his brother Alex Morrison\, and Gio\, head into the studio’s echo chamber with its five-second delay\, and the boys did what they do best. They sang their hearts out\, and the result is sublime.\nThe Brothers Comatose is comprised of brothers Ben Morrison (guitar\, vocals) and Alex Morrison (banjo\, vocals)\, Gio Benedetti (bass\, vocals)\, Philip Brezina (violin)\, and Ryan Avellone (mandolin). When they’re not headlining The Fillmore for a sold-out show or appearing at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival\, the band is out on the road performing across America\, Canada\, Australia\, and hosting their very own music festival\, Comatopia. In 2018\, The Brothers Comatose will travel to Asia for a month of cultural music exchange and education with American Music Abroad\, a program directed by the State Department.

SUMMARY:Jessie Ware
DESCRIPTION:Twist & Shout Presents \nJESSIE WARE\nwith Albin Lee Meldau \nWED\, 25 APR 2018 at 08:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 07:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 2 Mar 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 27 Feb 2018 at 10:00AM MST \n“Honestly\, I was trying to rush this record. I felt like: ‘let’s get it done\, let’s get it done!’ In hindsight\, I realised I was only rushing because I wanted to have a baby. I had this massive urge and the thought of having to wait three years felt so shit.”\nIt’s been three years since Jessie Ware released her second album Tough Love. Described by Pitchfork as an album that “moves into the territory of real\, messy love” Tough Love was the critically-embraced follow up to Jessie’s landmark debut Devotion in 2012. Signed to the influential London label PMR\, Jessie’s deep roots into UK music saw collaborations with SBTRKT and Disclosure bear fruit before her acclaim reached international levels. With both albums now gold-certified in the UK\, a million albums sold worldwide and her influence undeniable\, Jessie has spent the last three years working on her third album Glasshouse. The album is an exploration of family; both in the sense of the LA studio that became her home during the recording process and in the sense of the family Jessie has created in recent months. Almost curtailed by pressure from every side and with looming deadlines sabotaging Jessie’s creative process\, Glasshouse is an album that may not have come together. Not until a defining moment in Jessie’s life where the stress and anxiety of delivering the record fell away and her songwriting began to coalesce around new themes after giving birth to her baby.\n“I’d been feeling this sense of pressure and fear\, and when the baby was two and a half months I went to LA to write. I played Benny [Blanco] some of the stuff I’d written before\, and he said\, “What were you doing? Where did you go? Why aren’t you doing what you were doing on Devotion – go back to that old sound\, that’s what makes you so great.” I don’t know why I ignored that place; it’s the most comfortable for me. I’d been losing a sense of myself… Thank god for Benny.” Glasshouse was largely recorded with Jessie’s long-term friend and collaborator Benny Blanco out in California. Like Dave Okumu and Two Inch Punch\, Benny has been working with Jessie for almost a decade. Meeting to write and record at Benny’s LA pool house\, Jessie and her collaborators became something of an extended family.\nWhen tracks became over complicated\, they were stripped back. Jessie spent hours listening to her musical heroes: Joni Mitchell\, Nina Simon\, Carole King and Aretha Franklin. She wrote with a renewed confidence. “It became an album for my husband and my baby. It’s an apology\, a confession\, a love note\, a declaration… It shows all my fears and all of my emotion.” Midnight\, the first single taken from the record\, is Jessie’s unapologetic fight for a relationship. The visceral anger and tension in the single are perfectly counterpointed by the B-side Selfish Love where Jessie’s homage to 60s Latin Jazz singer Astrud Gilberto tells a seductive tale of warring lovers. Written with Blanco and Ryan Tedder (Beyoncé\, Ariana Grande\, Adele)\, the singles both play with the challenges of maintaining a relationship through difficult times. “I was worried I’d have no will or want to go to the studio\, but in a crazy way it was the opposite” explains Jessie\, “The baby drove me\, I became so focussed’. In January\, she went into sessions with songwriter James Newman and producer and writer Starsmith. ‘I said\, “Listen\, I don’t want to do a pop thing. I want to do a track that makes people feel something\, let’s not try and write for radio’.\nWith that agenda in mind\, Jessie set about creating a collection of songs that is emotive and real\, true to herself and her original impulses as a songwriter.\nRunning throughout Glasshouse is a deep rooted sense of emotional honesty that comes from Jessie reuniting with the people she most feels most at comfort with. Jessie has returned to the most important collaborators – and crucially\, friends – from her Mercury nominated debut\, Devotion. Teaming up once again with Kid Harpoon\, the pair dug deep and created the delicate ballad ‘Alone’\, an emotive and impassioned ode to finding the time to be with loved ones. On working with Kid Harpoon\, she says\, ‘I knew we had another song in us like Wildest Moments. I felt we had it and we just needed the time to do it’.\nCollaboration and curation were key to bringing Glasshouse together. For a studio version of fan favourite ‘Last of the True Believers’\, Jessie tapped close friends Felix and Hugo White (The Maccabees). “It was a song for Sam\, my husband\, about escaping this weird world I work in. I haven’t given up on these songs from the past and I have my best friends and favourite people on them.” Also appearing on the record is Ed Sheeran who co-wrote the album’s closing track ‘Sam’. The track also features a slew of world-renowned musicians including Pino Palladino\, Chris Dave and Nico Segal. “Watching these incredible musicians together was just beautiful” says Jessie.\nFrom jazz improvisations to innovative house music\, the influences on the album are a reminder of the musical journey Jessie’s been on over three albums. Your Domino is a dance floor ready track reminiscent of the Julio Bashmore-produced If You’re Never Gonna Move from her debut. She’s also worked with Norwegian DJ and Kanye collaborator Cashmere Cat. It’s a fitting union\, with dance always having been of huge importance. She reconnected with her school friend and now husband – who so much of the new record is about – at drum and bass nights in Streatham\, and some of the earliest moments of her career were spent performing at Boiler Room sets and providing vocals for pioneering electronic artists like SBTRKT and Joker.\nIt’s taken a transformative period for Jessie to reconnect with her roots. Glasshouse is a record that celebrates Jessie as a songwriter while contemplating her future as an artist. These new elements mix with original sensibilities\, smart attention to detail and powerful lyricism. The album is reflective but forward-looking. After a spell of recent live shows\, this Autumn will see Jessie’s next UK tour begin. “I’m so excited to play live. I love the new stuff so much. A lot of blood\, sweat and tears went into it.” It’ll also be the first tour with her new baby. “I know that the first year of her life is going to be completely crazy\, but I think we’re ready.”

SUMMARY:Big Thief
DESCRIPTION:Colorado Public Radio’s OpenAir Presents \nBIG THIEF\nwith Whippoorwill \nTUE\, 24 APR 2018 at 08:00PM MDT\nAges: All Ages\nDoors Open: 07:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 19 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 16 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST \nThe trails that Brooklyn’s Big Thief—Adrianne Lenker (guitar\, vocals)\, Buck Meek (guitar)\, Max Oleartchik (bass)\, and James Krivchenia (drums)—take us down on Capacity\, the band’s highly anticipated second record\, are overgrown with the wilderness of pumping souls.\nAfter last year’s stunning Masterpiece\, Capacity was recorded in a snowy winter nest in upstate New York at Outlier Studio with producer Andrew Sarlo. The album jumps right into lives marked up and nipped in surprisingly swift fashion. They are peopled and unpeopled\, spooked and soothed\, regenerating back into a state where they can once again be vulnerable. Lenker’s songs introduce us to a gallery of multifacted women and deal with the complicated matters of identity — at once dangerous and curious\, though never unbelievable. Lenker shows us the gentle side of being ripped open. Tricked into love\, done in and then witnessing the second act of pulling oneself back together to prepare for it to all happen again\, but this time to a sturdier soul\, one who is going to take the punches better than ever before and deal some jabs and roundhouses of their own.\nThe album is thick with raw\, un-doctored beauty: most of the songs on Capacity were played for the first time in the studio and were recorded the same day. “There is a darker darkness and a lighter light on this album\,” Lenker explains. “The songs search for a deeper level of self-acceptance\, to embrace the world within and without. I think Masterpiece began that process\, as a reaction from inside the pain\, whereas I feel Capacity examines the pain from the outside.”

SUMMARY:Khruangbin
DESCRIPTION:KHRUANGBIN\nwith The Mattson 2 \nMON\, 23 APR 2018 at 08:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 07:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 12 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 9 Jan 2018 at 11:00AM MST \nIf you ever find yourself in Burton\, Texas — population 359 — you may hear some strange sounds coming from a particularly remote barn.The sounds are that of Khruangbin\, a psychedelic trio who draw inspiration from the deepest depths of music history: mixing 1960’s funk scene in Thailand\, 1970’s Persian rock music\, and 1980’s Algerian symphonia with a dash of disco\, soul\, and balearic music.Though the band’s inspiration comes from all around the world\, their roots are distinctly Texan. Ever since their first rehearsals\, Khruangbin have recorded at their remote Burton barn\, their spiritual home. Which means their stage performance was honed not playing to hipsters in venues\, but to cows out to pasture.After developing a fan base of the barnyard variety\, they decided to find out if humans would enjoy their music too. Since then\, they’ve found their audiences just as diverse as the music itself — selling out headline shows in the US\, UK and Europe\, supporting acts like Father John Misty and Massive Attack\, and late last year\, signing on to be Corona’s official brand sound.Their debut album\, The Universe Smiles Upon You\, was released by Night Time Stories in November 2015 to widespread acclaim.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT: Wild Child Live in Denver with Stelth Ulvang
DESCRIPTION:**SOLD OUT**\nColorado Public Radio’s OpenAir Presents \nWILD CHILD\nwith Stelth Ulvang\, Kyle Emerson \nSAT\, 21 APR 2018 at 09:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 08:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 8 Dec 2017 at 09:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 5 Dec 2017 at 09:00AM MST \nWild Child won’t settle. For seven years now the Austin-based ensemble has carried its infectious blend of indie-pop and infectious melodies across the international music scene\, charting viral hits and wrapping their arms around a diverse and dedicated fan base. But earlier this year when the band set out to make their fourth studio album\, they found they had their hands full: After half a decade of maturation\, the group had grown beyond its traditional writing and recording process.\n“We had too many ideas for how we wanted to make this record” says Kelsey Wilson\, the group’s lead vocalist and violinist. She shrugs. “So we said\, ‘Why not just do all of them?’”\nThe group realized this offered an exciting opportunity to make a kind of record bands rarely get right: To take a new\, multispectral approach to writing and recording that went beyond simply trying to engineer success. The band made a list of their favorite musicians who were also great producers in their own right — choosing ones they thought would shine a new and unique light on specific compositions — and then Wild Child set about chasing their album from studio to studio all over the world\, never saying no to an idea.\nThe result — the band’s fourth album\, Expectations — is Wild Child’s most creative\, colorful and intellectually engaging album to date.\nNow a seven-piece pop mini-orchestra (Wilson on violin and vocals; Alexander Beggins on ukulele and vocals; Sadie Wolfe on cello; Matt Bradshaw on keyboards\, trumpet\, and harmonica; Tom Myers on drums; Cody Ackors on guitar and trombone; and Tyler Osmond on bass)\, Wild Child formed in 2010 when the group’s core duo of Wilson and Beggins wrote and released their first album\, Pillow Talk.\nWild Child shaped their last record\, Fools\, in the shadows of more than one failed love\, and Expectations\, as the title suggests\, is a continuation of that personal experience into an awakening. Wilson and Beggins\, whose voices fit each other as naturally as any family act\, pushed their boundaries as writers\, drawing freely from the stories they’ve lived as well as the artists around the world that have inspired their growth. Their rate of output over that last year got them thinking differently about producing\, focusing on one track at a time. “We’ve always focused on the record as a whole.  We wanted to think about each track as it’s own piece- but somehow it all fits together” Wilson says of the approach.\nThat route took them around the world — from Chris Walla’s (Death Cab For Cutie) studio in Tromsø\, Norway\, where the Northern Lights are the brightest in the world\, to a home-built warehouse studio on the outskirts of Philadelphia\, where Dr. Dog’s Scott McMicken picked up the bass and “joined the band for a week\,” arranging harmonies and sharing living and recording space. Back in Wimberley\, Texas\, Matthew Logan Vasquez (Delta Spirit) set up a makeshift studio in Kelsey Wilson’s beloved childhood home — abandoned since the floods of 2015 — where they found the muses were eager to resurface. The group also tapped the talents of frequent tour mate Chris Boosahda (Shakey Graves)\, Atlantic Records recording artist Max Frost\, and Grammy-winning producer Adrian Quesada (Groupo Fantasma\, Brown Sabbath\, Spanish Gold).\nThe result is a theater of possibilities\, with arrangements that reflect the range of tastes of the producers\, from scruffy lo-fi tape hiss\, to smoothed out precision-cut electronic pop sounds.  Smartly\, the album avoids defining itself and kicks off with a child’s voice telling Alexander Beggins\, “Don’t think that way.” The track that follows (called “Alex”) is a hook-spangled opener which in its three breezy minutes builds from a single ukulele to a lush and playful arrangement reminiscent of Beirut.\nThe record almost immediately settles in to find the band at its most expansive. Songs like “My Town” and the deep-breathing “Eggshells” stretch the spaces between beats like a Chinese finger/time trap. They stop for more than one layover in Detroit\, with “Back and Forth” evoking the horn charts of Arthur Conley and Jackie Wilson (or even Jens Lekman)\, and “Think It Over” throws an unexpected nod to Sly and the Family Stone.\nThe closing track\, “Goodbye\, Goodnight\,” is also the first the group recorded\, and the one they believe best epitomizes the journey of making this album. At first\, Scott McMicken’s production caught the band off-guard: He slowed the waltz down to the tempo of a dirge — or a dirge with the levity of a waltz — and built the track up at an almost excruciatingly slow pace that in the end gives you what you want from it\, but only gives it to you once. “At first we were all just trying to understand where he was coming from\,” Wilson says with a laugh. “And it took us a while to get there\, but the arrangement works out so well — with what the song is about and how we felt when we wrote it — that it ended up being one of my favorite songs on the record.”\nAnd the more you listen to Expectations\, the more the many worlds of this project begin to cohere around you. After all\, one of the great joys of traveling the world is discovering surprising connections: A skyscraper in Barcelona reminds you of a spire in the Utah desert; the Northern Lights in the Norwegian sky look like an oil slick on the Philadelphia pavement. Expectations\, an album which can by turns be bitter\, wistful\, angry\, and flirtatious\, is rich with these surprising rhymes across the record.\n“We’re all growing and changing and learning new tricks\,” Beggins says. Wilson responds\, “Yeah\, there’s no right or wrong way to do anything.” Her own record\, though\, is proof she’s wrong.

SUMMARY:Split Lip Rayfield
DESCRIPTION:**$15.00 Tickets While Supplies Last!** \nSPLIT LIP RAYFIELD\nwith 300 Days \nFRI\, 20 APR 2018 at 09:00PM MDT\nAges: 16 & Over\nDoors Open: 08:00PM \nOnSale: Fri\, 19 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST\nAnnouncement: Tue\, 16 Jan 2018 at 10:00AM MST \nThe fire rages on for the powerhouse trio from Kansas\, Split Lip Rayfield (SLR)\, as they celebrate the release of their new record\, “I’ll Be Around.” The new album showcases the songwriting talents of mandolin player Wayne Gottstine and banjo player Eric Mardis\, tied together by the harmony and deep-bass licks of Jeff Eaton. Such songs as “Aces High\,” “Heart of Darkness\,” and “The High Price of Necromancy” will take listeners on a journey of love\, loss\, change\, and dark powers\, as they discover what lies in the mysterious minds of SLR.\nThe song for which the album is named\, “I’ll Be Around\,” serves as a tribute to the band’s fallen teammate Kirk Rundstrom\, whose influence on the band and its path was great. Rundstrom’s legacy continues to live on in the new album and also the band itself as every live show is dedicated to his memory.\nSplit Lip Rayfield has carved out their own genre of music with their unique sound and instrumentation. Often described as a mix of bluegrass and country with an accent of metal\, no other band delivers the experience of the homemade gas-tank bass played by Jeff Eaton\, sets the mandolin strings on fire like Wayne Gottstine\, or makes the banjo sing like Eric Mardis. Together\, they burn up speakers and stages alike providing an unforgettable experience. This is one trio not to miss!
