Concert Listings Roundup #275

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:

Burn Down the Capital presents (feat. Vampire Belt [Chris Corsano / Bill Nace] / Horseman, Pass By / American Standard Trio) / Burdock Music Hall 2018-11-11 (Sunday) [FB event]

American Underground Legends Chris Corsano and Bill Nace have both been through town in the not-too-distant past, but it should be a hoot to see 'em smashing sounds into each other. But as is always the case, this BDTC gig also has a formidable supporting cast, with a much-anticipated return of Bennett Bedoukian (drums/electronics) and Mark Molnar (cello/electronics) ranging from punk shredding to skewed grooves to tense textures plus further developments from upstart noise-as-jazz crew American Standard Trio.
