AUTOLUX
with Eureka The Butcher
at Triple Rock Social Club
Sunday, 04/10/16, 7:30pm ($15)
triplerocksocialclub.com
The wait is over! Los Angeles electro-noise trio
Autolux has emerged from their 5-year slumber to bring us a new record. After teasing the hypnotic single “Soft Scene” back in November, the band will formally release
Pussy’s Dead on April 1st (NO JOKE). It’ll be their third full length record and first for Danger Mouse’s Columbia Records imprint 30th Century Records. The second single “Brainwasher” is infectious as hell with a weird, dark groove, chilling falsetto vocals from Carla Azar and the stretching and sprawling dissonant guitar sounds that garnered the band such famous fans as Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor. Reznor even handpicked Autolux back in 2006 to tour with NIN which is how I became acquainted with the band. (Thanks T-Rez)
Autolux recently performed a mashup rendition “Soft Scene” and “Listen to the Order” on Late Night with Stephen Colbert.
Also, Twin Cities fans take note: The band will be making a stop at the Triple Rock Social Club on April 10th. Multi-instrumentalist Marcel Rodríguez-López will open the show, performing under the moniker
Eureka the Butcher. Recognize that last name? Marcel is the younger brother of Omar Rodríguez-López, guitarist for the
Mars Volta and
At the Drive-In.

ATLAS GENIUS

Australia’s
Atlas Genius is returning to Minneapolis at the Fine Line Music Café this Sunday, April 10th.
Opening will be
Skylar Grey. The five-time Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter recently released a new song called “Moving Mountains”. The track was written by Grey and produced by Mike Elizondo and Mark Batson. The title and subject of the song was inspired by the mountains in Park City, Utah where Skylar resides.
Regarding the song, Grey had this to say, “Most of my life I’ve let ambition get in the way of happiness- too focused on the future to enjoy the moment. Now living in Utah, I’ve realized the importance of taking the time to sit back and appreciate a mountain view. It's amazing how just being present has the power to elevate your mood.”
Skylar Grey is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2013 album
Don’t Look Down... so expect her to preview some new songs, including “Moving Mountains” on this tour.
Also on the bill is
Secret Weapons. The group is really proud of their Haerts’ remix of their song “Something New.” Hear it on
Soundcloud.
