The Lampshades

Tonight, at Cattivo, The Lampshades is releasing an album called Astrology, and I guarantee it’s going to be as technical and vast as the album name suggests. The single “Astrology II” is a slightly fuzzy bass- and effects-driven number from the 14-song album. The other single, “Civilization and Its Discontents,” features a ton of floor toms, and a sleepy singer we know from the band’s last four albums, barely rising above the circle of background vocals. Alt-rockers Rave Ami (you knew them previously as Honey) and local mutant-noise rockers Choir are also paying a visit, and you don’t want to miss this show. -EB
