Autolux is currently touring in support of their third album Pussy’s Dead (available now on 30th Century Records/Columbia), stopping by the Triple Rock Social Club in Minneapolis last Sunday, April 10th.

Opening the show was a bearded and baseball-capped Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez, also known as Eureka the Butcher, who provided some mesmerizing beats for fans to groove to as they waited for Autolux. Marcel is probably best known as the keyboardist and percussionist of The Mars Volta.

Setlist

Autolux eviscerated the crowd at their Triple Rock gig last evening with some jaw-droppingly great performances from members Eugene Goreshter (bass), Greg Edwards (guitar) and drummer Carla Azar. Azar, especially, was extraordinary to watch, so controlled and cool - she plays drums like she’s carefully slicing up carcasses and not getting any blood on the floor.

The set drew largely from the band’s latest Pussy’s Dead and their fantastic first record Future Perfect (2004) with a few from Transit Transit (2010). As the band played a backdrop of trippy lights and images were projected on a screen behind Azar and aided in the futuristic fever-dream atmospherics the music induced.

Every Autolux album and tour is like a gift from heaven - you don’t want to miss them while they’re out and about! Pick up the new record out now on 30th Century Records.

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.

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.
