What’s up Memphians? You all know what today is, so I hope you’re celebrating—that’s right, it’s the 40th anniversary of Apollo 16 landing on the moon!
In this week’s The Line Up, we’re spotlighting some fantastic out-of-this-world live music for you to get spacey to.
Today, Friday, (4/20) will launch things out of the atmosphere with some great music all over town. Funk aficionados and deep space experts Galactic will be serving up funky jazz numbers all night at Minglewood Hall with help from Living Colour’s Corey Glover. Also rocking out will be Corey Henry with help from Lightnin’ Malcolm.
Down the street at The Hi-Tone, electronic beats will be the name of the game. The Hood Internet will be making yet another appearance in the Bluff City, bringing tons of awesome remixes and original bangers. BBU will add their rap game to the mix making the evening full of thumping beats to boogie to.
Over at the Buccaneer, The evening has some more far out sounds to offer. Prog rock outfit The Lions Science will be jamming on their lengthy tunes charaterized by complex arrangements and educated composition. Their newest release The First Tonight will be available at the show, so come out and support some great local music!
Saturday 4/21) will keep the momentum with almost to much to do. The Hi-Tone will be ultra busy again, this time with two shows in one night. The early show is full of the rock bravado of hard rock outfit La Armada. Memphis metal heads Hosoi Bros. will also be adding their spice to the mix giving you plenty to go out and see.
Later on in the evening, Dirty Streets and Tiger High will be giving you something fun to do late at night.
If traditional rock & roll isn’t what gets your rock rolling, then head across town to the Buccaneer for a different flavor of sound. The Bucaneer Lounge will play host to the artful instrumental rock of Glorie. Continuing on the trend of other music that may be alien to your ears, Oxford Icebergs is also on the bill, with an analog-based stab at instrumental hip hop-esque beats.
With too much trippy music to shake a stick at, this weekend is sure to bring you far out sounds to compliment whatever cloudy mindset you may find yourself in. Come out and see some great music to space out to!
P.S. Don’t forget to get high.
