Pelican. Two Shows.
I'm wracking my brain for an appropriate bird-related pun or metaphor that I can use with Pelican, but unfortunately, my thought processes were swept away with the heavy rains.
What you need to know is this: the sorta Chicago/sorta L.A. band Pelican is an instrumental four-piece who dish out a heavy mix of shredding metal, psychedelic freak-outs, and melodic indie wanderings. Their latest album, City of Echoes, continues the dense, molasses rock (or "mo-ro," as i'm sure bloggers now will be calling it), but manages to approach the same-ol', same-ol' in fairly new, offbeat -- and often off-tempo -- ways.
Lucky you can catch them this weekend at two different shows: Friday, Aug. 24 at Beat Kitchen and again on Saturday, Aug. 25 at the Empty Bottle.
