White Denim w/ The Boxing Lesson & PVC Street Gang (RSVPs CLOSED)

For a band that raced to catch up with its own runaway reputation, White Denim is surprisingly headstrong. Its new sophomore album,Fits, could have been another fixed-gear grind through the same slightly punky, sort of funky blues of the bands breakout debut,Exposion. Instead, its a heady brew that makes room for neck-snapping prog-metal time-shifts, no-wave saxophone bleats, desert-bleached psychedelia, organ-driven soul jams, and even strummy freak-folk along the way to upending every expectation. Somehow the trio keeps these anxiousFitsfrom becoming full-blown epilepsy, reined in by the ever-expanding and collapsing interplay of its rhythm section and James Petrallis similarly elastic yowl.
