WHOOPS-Szo (acoustic) at Deadpan Studios
Up Here alumni WHOOP-Szo are a tricky band to shelf. At one listen, you might latch onto their folkie regionalism and proclivity for place-based storytelling, and then, two tracks later, it might be the thoughtful architecture of their noise-building that reels you in. For some, it’s the psychedelic tint that captures them. For other careful listeners, it might be the passages that touch on drone metal. On this occasion WHOOP-Szo are welcomed into the lovely Deadpan Studios for an intimate and intricate set of acoustic based numbers prevalent on the band's recordings but a far cry from the Doomy-Metal normally associated with their live show. Doors 7:30 Show 8:00pm $10.00
