Concert Listings Roundup #269

You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.


Gig of the week:

SynapticCircusSundays (feat. Fake Humans / A Nilan Perera Ensemble [Kayla Milmine/Wes Neal/Nilan Perera/Ted Phillips]) / The Tranzac (Southern Cross Lounge) 2018-09-30 (Sunday) [FB event]

If I were being self-promote-y (full disclosure: I am) I'd mention here that I have my hands in a couple shows this week that should not be missed, especially on Tuesday night. But instead, I'll give a nudge here to what's been one of the city's coolest series of late, with Nilan Perera mixing together different streams of adventurous music — and often participating in one form or another. Fake Humans' four-hands-many-sounds grooves are always a can't-miss and the ensemble that Perera has assembled for this night should have some interestingly unpredictable results.
