Concert Listings Roundup #105

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:

The Draperies (Rob Clutton [Solo Bass]) / Ratio 2015-07-13 (Monday) [FB event]

The annual-ish re-emergence of The Draperies is always a newsworthy event, perhaps even moreso with details of this one coming out at rather short notice. The "uncanny form of sonar that maps a funhouse mirror version of familiar terrain" evoked by Eric Chenaux, Ryan Driver and Doug Tielli is best heard in an environment like Ratio, where close listening is encouraged.
