Lozen, Bitches Crystal, Curse of the North
By Brian Kim
Belltown’s Rendezvous/Jewelbox Theater is a venue that really benefits from having a fairly narrow and compact room to cram patrons. Something about seeing great music in small spaces really enhances the intimacy of the experience. This Saturday will be a great opportunity for exactly this.
If you haven’t heard Lozen’s Para Vida, which was released on 12″ vinyl last summer, you need to get with the program. The hard hitting, gut crunching, art-rock of this record landed it on many local end of year lists, and very well deservedly. This drum and bass duo has really developed a sound uniquely their own, adding together elements of metal and punk and creating something much greater than the sum of it’s parts. Slipping seamlessly from edgy melodic grunge to tribal psychedelia, Lozen should not be missed. Hop on the bandwagon now while there’s still room, jaws will drop, minds will be blown. Prepare for chills up your spine.
Also playing will be instrumental trio Bitches Crystal, who will be smashing together massive riffs and crushing, epic songscapes, as well as Curse of the North, whose stripped down, high energy metal will reconcile the old Metallica fan in you with the newer Red Fang fan in you..
All this is going down on Saturday Feb 9th at the Rendezvous/Jewelbox Theater. $7 cover, 21+, and show is starting at 10pm. Additional details on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/
