Brighton MA, The Forms, and Brad Peterson head to the Beat Kitchen
The clocks fall back at 2AM on Saturday night, so you've got an extra hour with which to do your witching -- and Brighton, MA, The Forms, and Brad Peterson will be waiting for you at the Beat Kitchen. Headlining chamber-rockers Brighton MA have been confidently described to me as sounding like "what would have happened if Bob Dylan got drunk with The Kinks. And maybe Van Morrison showed up with some drum mallets. And there was a light show." That's quite an act to lead into, but the lush instrumentation of Brooklyn's The Forms seems like it might be able to keep up, with all manner of piano-driven melodies washing over layers of synths and vocal harmonies. Longtime Chicago resident Brad Peterson will open the night with his eponynous backing band and catalog of danceable folk-pop, and then, instead of going home, the rest of the city will spill out before you for one more glorious hour. I'll be there. Will you?
Brighton, MA, The Forms, and Brad Peterson at the Beat Kitchen, 1100 W. Belmont. Doors @ 9:00 pm, show @ 9:30pm, $10.00 ($8 advance). 18 and over.
