sunn O)))

Saturday, April 18th @ 7:30 PM

“Taking its name and logo from a line of high-powered amps, the duo distills the heavy-metal power chord into a kind of primordial om, removing drums and favoring a symphonic scale over any conventional rock form. Sunn O)))’s albums and deafening concerts, at which Anderson and O’Malley sport hooded cloaks, unfold like infernal sound baths,” (New York Times).

"Sunn O))) are ready for their big debut on Sub Pop. After revealing last fall that they signed to the legendary Seattle label, the drone metal band has announced a new self-titled album… The forthcoming LP is Sunn O)))’s first in seven years, following their 2019 double punch with Life Metal and Pyroclasts. Drone stewards Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson co-produced the album with Brad Wood. “Glory Black,” which closes out Sunn O))), is the first preview of the LP. However, the duo did drop three new songs just a few months ago—“Eternity’s Pillars,” “Raise the Chalice,” and “Reverential”—that were packed together on a 12" single,” (Pitchfork).

The Dandelion Stompers

in support of Rebirth Brass Band
Live @ The Englert

Sunday, January 18th @ 7:30 PM

Voted “Best Local Band” by Little Village Magazine in 2022, Iowa’s Dandelion Stompers bring vintage jazz to life with infectious energy and the spirit of a street band busking on a sunny afternoon. Blending hot swing, joyful rhythms, and soulful horns, they keep the dance floor hopping while transporting audiences to a bygone era where the music fills the air and everyone’s invited to join the fun.

The band’s signature blend of good-time jazz for one and all is on full display in their debut double album, Whirlwind Sessions: Vol I and Vol II. Showcasing the group’s rich musicality and high-spirited sound, Vol I was released in fall 2023, followed by Vol II in 2025. "Katie Roche's voice is such an integral instrument... She delivers every lyric, every melodic twist. You can follow her vocal line like a clever sax solo while really hearing the intent in the words. In a world full of impressive female leads, she is uniquely in control. Not everyone singing for a jazz band sings jazz — she does." (The Syncopated Times, 2025)

Lex Leto

in support of Hatis Noit
Live @ The Englert, intimate on stage

Tuesday, January 20th @ 7:30 PM

Lex Leto (they/them) is a collaborator, educator, and maker. Informed by time spent in music school, art museums, local shows, and libraries, Lex is interested in experimental art, performance, improvisation, and how collaboration shapes the work they make. Their work as a musician is an indulgence in sound as feeling. Their work as a performer is an interest in subverting expectation and sharing excitement. Their work as a diy artist is a pursuit of new skills created with minimal materials. The confluence of these is a practice reliant on their artistic training and intuition, collaboration, interest in learning, and projects heavily informed by Leto’s materials and facilities with them. Their music is often characterized by dense and saturated textures, dreamy vocal harmonies, subtle dissonances, and noise. Lex often performs with dancers or as a solo musician on electronics, flute and pedals, and voice, as well as as a bassist in their band KL!NG. When not making music, Lex can be found looking at clouds, on a long bike ride, at the local cinema, or making t-shirts for their friends.
