Ganser, Bloody Knives, Death Instinct, Silver Car Crash

‘Twas a dark and stormy night full of pitch black, riotous post-punk music. Chi-town’s Ganser, whose album Odd Talk is so full of crunchy and moody vocals and riff patterns, you’ll swear it’s moving, possibly underwater, sinking to the bottom of an inky black ocean. Death Instinct is set to headline — the epitome of what a good post-punk act should resemble. The band is just not quite simplified enough to be punk, and just avant garde and lo-fi enough to be a roaring good post-punk time. Bloody Knives and Silver Car Crash finish out the bill for this show. -Emily Bennett
