Tomorrow the Strutt is hosting a veritable smorgasbord of musical delights. I am excited, and you should be too.
The headliners are Caspian, instrumental post rockers supporting their recently released album Tertia. This is a video from that album:
Caspian has explored many formats for this release, which has been praised as their most cohesive and talented piece of work to date. I can only expect the live version to be captivating and loud as hell.
Supporting acts include Her Majesty’s Ship Victory! and Lights at Sea. These are two of my favorite bands in the area. HMS Victory! just practiced in my basement and I am sure that their performance tomorrow will only be more intense. These kids have been out of town for the summer, and we welcome them back. Think huge swells and epic soundscapes.

Lights at Sea continues in the same vein as the other two acts. Hailing from Grand Rapids, this group recently recorded a new album. So, we can look forward to new material. Let’s hope they continue with the same sense of foreboding, heavy post rock we have come to love.
Doors are at 7pm so don’t be late. Tickets are $10 at the door. If you hurry, you might still be able to pick up an $8 advance ticket from one of the HMS V! dudes, or at the Corner Record Shop in Kalamazoo. See you there!
