Perish This Thursday (12/15)

Perish:
Comets Ov Cupid
Take Acre

Kitty Cat Klub
10pm. 12/15.
Free. Kitty Cat Klub. 10pm.

"Comets Ov Cupid is the solo project of Jason Kesselring, former guitarist and leader of the turn-of-the-millennium era local group Skye Klad. Upon moving on from his post-Skye Klad trio Blitzen as well as moving on from the Twin Cities and back to his ancestral home of Fargo, Jason has been putting his enviable guitar skills to use as Comets Ov Cupid, spanning a wide range of stylistic influences but always remaining within his chosen field of a uniquely modern and occultic Kosmische Musik for our times. Since his music is solitary in nature, Jason's live appearances have been rare and usually purpose-specific. For the Perish performance, Jason's cosmic guitar will be supported in a "rock trio" with Matt Entsminger of Thunderbolt Pagoda on drums and former Skye Klad bandmate Erik Wivinus (also of Thunderbolt Pagoda) on bass. They will be performing a lengthy instrumental suite composed specifically for this event."

At The Hexagon and The Triple Rock Tonight...

Two great shows on a night where I don't feel like doing anything. Don't be lazy like me.

If you felt like it you could send The Funeral And The Twilight off proper at The Hexagon as they will be doing some Midwestern dates with Stephen Paul Smoker and Grace Kulp.
