Get your butt off the couch, stop watching dumb football and get down to the Strutt this Sunday for some rad post rock and emo jamz. Empire! Empire! and Mountains For Clouds are stopping in Kalamazoo on their August tour to meet up with An Aesthetic Anaesthetic from Chicago and local gig stars Analecta.

Empire! Empire! comes from Fenton,MI and play twinkly emo in the vein of Mineral and American Football. With their always revolving cast of band members, Keith and Cathy continue to crank out releases and tour frequently. The happy couple runs a record label called Count Your Lucky Stars out of their home and help many bands in the midwest and all over put out cool releases as well. Mountains For Clouds, who also come from the east side of the mitten, play twinkly jams as well but with a more post rock kinda twist. They remind me a lot of a mathy Appleseed Cast if that tickles your fancy at all.

Also joining the fun is An Aesthetic Anaesthetic from Chicago,IL with their raw post rock sounds. And finally some what local boys, Analecta, will be playing epic post rock that will give you the pee pee shakes. I’ve known and watched these guys play in a handful of different kinds of bands and every time I see them live, it gets me more excited for what these guys are gonna put out next.

Doors at 8:00 and show at 9:00. $5 dollars and all ages. Couldn’t ask for a better Sunday gig. Here is that Facebook thang too.
