The Broken West + Brothers And Sisters,Bill Baird & Silent Sunset,The Darksiders
Wed. 10/10 | 10:00PM @ Club de Ville (Downtown)
The Broken West’s debut full-length, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On, hasn’t exactly been buzzing like crazy, but its honeyed charm and subtle songcraft—not to mention hooks and harmonies worthy of Pernice Brothers, Velvet Crush, and, at its best, Big Star—make for a real grower of an album. Austin’s Brothers And Sisters cocked more than a few emo eyebrows while touring with …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead last year, but in the proper setting—like an open-air show on the Club DeVille’s newly expanded patio—the band’s AM Gold sounds are tailor-made for sunsets and back-porch ruminatin’, mixing AOR, alt-country, folk, and warped indie-pop sensibilities into an appealing hippie stew of sweet harmonies and melodies on the breeze. Opening: Bill Baird And Silent Sunset, The Darksiders.

Canadian indie-rockers Great Lake Swimmers make folk-pop with a distinctly backwoods sound. Quiet and hollowly solemn, this year’s Ongiara keeps it subtle and eerily contemplative. Sounding as if it was performed across a still mountain lake just after dusk, the touching record glows with personality, and most importatly, it’s catchy. Opener Arthur and Yu is the first act signed to Hardly Art, the new label started by Sub Pop founder Jonathan Poneman. The duo’s hazy folk-pop combines the druggy sonics of later Velvet Underground with male-female vocal interplay remniscent of the duets between Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra.

While still a teenager, Jesu’s Justin Broadrick was a founding member of British grindcore pioneer Napalm Death, but jumped ship soon after for a string of bands that ranged from the punishing misanthropy of Godflesh to the digitalized ambience of Techno Animal. In the new millennium, Broadrick threw bits of all he’d ever done into his new project Jesu, and then upholstered the whole thing with swaths of shoegazing agoraphobia. The group’s recent full-lenth Conqueror impossibly improves on last year’s Silver EP, upping the melodic ante while piling on layers of near-suffocating tension and sadness. Opener U.S.S.A. features Ministry and Revolting Cocks bassist Paul Barker, Jesus Lizard guitarist Duane Denison and “Worl’s Fastest Drummer” Johnny Rabb; the band’s darkwave-tinged The Spoils puts similar supergroups (we’re looking at you, Velvet Revolver) to shame.
