When noise bands become metal, when metal becomes punk, when punk becomes indecipherable – then you’ve got this show happening at BESPIN (aka Cloud City).

This winter has seen a slow down in house shows, so if you’re looking to break up the drabness of the February weather, this would be a solid opportunity.

HORDES are long time experimenters out of Lansing, MI, who are bringing their heaviest, doomiest set yet to Kalamazoo.

SEVENTEEN AGAIN are back after a hiatus, and they’ve got new material to show off. Plus, because they’re mostly playing new stuff, their set is as short as when the first began, so you’re going to want to make it there on time to be sure you don’t miss ’em.

SHOTO are the heaviest, most technical band around Kalamazoo featuring three of the nicest guys that look somewhat like Charles Manson.

FORGET THE TIMES bring a new thing every time, and honestly it’s always been my favorite to see what their improvised set becomes on a louder set. You will not be disappointed.

This show begins at 9:00! Bring donation! Be swell as hell!

PLUS THERE IS A SHOW AT SATELLITE RECORDS STARTING AT 6:00 PM YOU CAN GO TO FIRST, FEATURING FORMER RESIDENT OF KZOO KYLE LANDSTRA!

Tonight The Black Lodge will host a docket of acts poised to scratch all kinds of experimental musical itches.

Coming through from parts outside the Kalamazoo sphere are two metal bands that are completely unafraid to dive headfirst into strange sonic territories.

BerT are from Lansing, weaving together the slow, rolling thunder of doom metal with experimental electronics to produce a highly unique sound that pricks the eardrums on several fronts. Using their metal instrumentation as a baseline, they build on it with noise music techniques to produce a peculiar yet highly entertaining hybrid beast that implements the best of both genres.

Mehrunes Dagon are a doom metal band from Grand Rapids who execute the traditional tidal sounds indicative of the genre. Listening to their music is similar to watching a combustion engine being built piece-by-piece, building their rolling guitars to exciting heights and crescendos.

They will be getting local support from Kalamazoo experimentalists Statia and ENTROPY ELEPHANT.

Statia has recently been making the rounds in the Vine Neighborhood, with a crunchy metal sound that borrows as much from contemporary metal as it does 70’s prog rock.

ENTROPY ELEPHANT is a new side project from local musical mad scientist Sid Redlin. Thrown together on the fly for a fill-in gig at Louie’s several weeks ago, Sid quickly realized that he had created a monster which he will be gleefully unleashing on The Black Lodge.

Show starts at 9PM. Please bring donations for the out-of-town bands!
