Weekend! / MP3 Awesome Show Sunday at Backspace!
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 4:32 PM
Yes, the Hush is closed, which means all the shows on the Hush schedule have been displaced. Fortunately, a very fine show that was scheduled for this Saturday has found a happy new home at Backspace, taking place this Sunday evening, March 8. The bill is: The Old Believers, Azeda Booth, and Bone Arrow, and should be entirely rad. The Old Believers are a local band you should know by now, with cuddly, sweet tunes and a lineup that swells from two to 11.
But perhaps you have not heard of Azeda Booth yet. They are members of a very ripe, healthy Calgary music scene (see also: Women, Chad VanGaalen) and make gorgeous, ticking, whirring pop influenced by glitch and IDM. They also sing like little girls. Color me crazy, but I like that sort of thing. Their brand new EP, Tubtrek, is available for free download (wow!!) on their website, and meanwhile here's "In Red" from last year's incredible In Flesh Tones album. ("In Red" appears on the free EP in remix form.) You'll be able to read more about Azeda Booth in the Mercury in coming weeks; they'll be rolling back through Portland at the end of the month.
LISTEN:
Azeda Booth - "In Red" (from In Flesh Tones)
So, in closing: Sunday! Backspace! Hooray! RIP Hush! Azeda Booth! Free EP!
The Old Believers, Azeda Booth, Bone Arrow; Sun March 8, Backspace, 115 NW 5th, all ages
