Concert Tue Dec 11 2007
Free Russian Circles
Local act Russian Circles add some post-rock instrumental deliciousness to your frozen Holiday season this Thursday at the Double Door. A great replacement for listening to All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone indoors, Russian Circles has garnered comparisons to everyone from Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, and Pelican to Mogwai, Mono, and Fugazi. And that's not even the best part: the show is completely and utterly free. Yeah.
The Chicago trio Russian Circles formed in 2004, self-releasing a debut EP in 2005 that quickly sold-out. A signing to Chicago's Flameshovel Records resulted in Enter, released 2006. The band is currently recording a new album with producer Matt Bayles, scheduled for a spring 2008 release through Suicide Squeeze Records. Until then, get out to the Double Door to quench your thirst for (free!) climactic instrumental rock.
Russian Circles (w/ These Arms are Snakes and Holy Roman Empire) @ Double Door, Thur 12/13, 8pm. 21+, free.
