"One
spin through last year's double album The Clearing/The Final Epoch, by
Chicago drone duo Locrian, puts you in a dark place. It's full of proper
apocalyptic noise driven by doom and disaster — breathtaking
black-metal-influenced tunes with the power to raise evil spirits and
drop testicles. This bill, which also includes metal locals Boreas and
Jason Zeh, is the first UFO Show, a new series at Davey's curated by
local experimental music sage Pat Hopewell. "Booking shows that other
venues are too chickenshit to attempt" is the promise that Hopewell shot
us when he announced the series, and it looks like he's on his way to
making good on it."
