This week, Kalamazoo has the pleasure of being graced with the presence of Chicago alt/prog rockers Hidden Hospitals and 4 special guests! Here’s a quick run down of all the bands playing on Saturday.

Hidden Hospitals: These righteous dudes bring a feverish style of guitar-driven prog rock mixed with smooth vocals worthy of heavy radio play.  For fans of: Incubus/MuteMath/Tides of Man

analecta: Hailing from Northern Indiana, analecta will be bringing lovely
ambient sounds by way of a lot of electronic effects and highly technical musicianship. They play post-rock– and they know how to play it well.  For fans of: Explosions In the Sky/Caspian/This Will Destroy You (photo credit: EB Photography)

sosaveme: Owosso (MI) natives sosaveme will be bringing their own flavor of agressive indie rock to the table. They cite their influences as “life, death, the choices we make and what comes after.”  For fans of: Emery/As Cities Burn/Between the Trees

Chanical Fields: Ambient Progressive Rock from Schoolcraft, MI, Chanical Fields will bring their own dreamy style of shoegaze-inspired progressive rock for audiences ready to stand back and let themselves be swept away by a steady stream of droney, lovely music.  For fans of: Radiohead/The Jesus and Mary Chain/Glowfriends  (photo credit: sosaveme’s facebook)

 Star Destroyer: Prog Rock from Kalamazoo! These guys sound like they’re definitely ready to get down and destroy some stars.  For fans of: Dance Gavin Dance/ Squid The Whale/Closure in Moscow

See you there!
