Destroyer Sets His Sites On Chicago! Can Our City Survive?
Romantic and doomed, brainy but really strung out fans of acoustic-based, stonesy prog music with deep-buried dark poetry accompaniment take note Dan Bejar and his sunny band of ambient-prog-disco-yacht rock Destroyer is returning to Chicago. The upcoming show on Sunday June 24 at The Metro will mark Destroyer's third trip to Chicago within 12 months including a set at last summers Pitchfork Fest. Tickets for the show go on sale Satuday March 3 at noon.
Destroyer started a solo folk project of Dan Bejar's in the mid 1990s. After Dan joined The New Pornographers Destroyer membership swelled into a full band. They skirmished along the lines of baroque psych-folk until last years album Kaputt. Taking a deep influence from classic italio house records, Baltic rock, and the forgotten era of saxophone pop-rock Destroyer put out their most critally well received album. Destroyer's set at Pitchfork was met with sun soaked smiles and positive vibes.
Destroyer with opening act Sandro Perri will be playing Sunday June 24 at The Metro. Tickets are $18 plus service fees and go on sale March 3 at noon. The Metro is located at 3730 N Clark St. Doors are at 8pm and the show is 18+.
