This is next Thursday - but I really want to see them do a full set having "just missed" them twice already.

Tickets are $10 or $12 at the door

The Octopus Project, Diagonals, The Histories

KXLU 88.9FM Welcomes/Filter Magazine Presents...

Hello, Avalanche, the Octopus Project's third proper full-length on Peek-A-Boo Records, is a bold step forward musically and artistically for the band. With ragged, furious distorted guitars at one end of the spectrum and the pure, luminescent tones of the Theremin at the other, the members of the Octopus Project mine a staggering variety of sounds in between (via strings, synthesizers, drums, glockenspiel, trombones, etc.), filling their songs with brilliant contrasting colors and cascading waves of sonic bliss. The group’s recent successes include playing the Coachella Festival and several sold-out nationwide tours. They received a proclamation as one of Rolling Stone's five stand-out artists at SXSW by Senior Editor David Fricke, and swept the Austin Music Awards, winning Best Experimental Band, Best Indie Band, Best Instrumental Band, and Best Miscellaneous Instrument for Yvonne Lambert on Theremin.

Just got back from The Octopus Project. It was a fantastic show!!!

The Diagonals were also incredibly cool. My brother and I hung out with them for a while after the show and did a shot. Chris, I told Nate that you were going to the LA show, so you should definitely say hi. I think he plays one of the guitars. He doesn't have a beard.

Good times!

that was some good noisy fun with gadgets and noise makers aplenty - love that on the verge of cacophony sound. Of course my ears now feel as if they were stuffed tight with wads of cotton - but whats a good concert without hearing damage?
