On March 24, Brasky is proud to present SBTRKT, live at the Orpheum. SBTRKT (hint, “Subtract”) is the alias of London producer/musician Aaron Jerome, who is making his first US tour following a tremendously successful self-titled album in 2011. Don’t just take it from us–the album found its way onto many top 10 lists in 2011, including the #1 spot for two of The Guardian‘s music critics.
Purchase Tickets via Daddy Kool Records.

Cigar City Brewing is excited to release a very special beer we have been working on, Nielsbohrium, which is part of the collaboration we brewed with
Mikkeller back in December. This Imperial Sweet Stout brewed with raisins has been resting in rum barrels for months and has just been bottled and will be ready to go just in time to be part of our celebration. More details on the release to follow, but the bottles will be available and it will make a very special, limited appearance on tap.

A couple of years back I remember getting a Facebook invite to something called “Everything is Terrible presents: 2Everything2Terrible2: Tokyo Drift”. My first response was “uhhh what?” and my second response… well I didn’t really have any other response, even after reading up on exactly what Everything is Terrible actually was. I visited their website, read their blog, watched their videos and to this day I am still not too sure how to describe them to anyone that asks. They call themselves “a collective of seven furry, lovable internet monsters who live in a cave full of VCRs and solve mysteries.” So there’s that.

If you’re looking for relief from the recent heat, all you need is $7 to experience Grimes, the newest cool front from Canada on Tuesday. Doors to the Orpheum open at 8 PM and fun, fidegity Born Gold takes the stage first. Then Grimes settles in with her entrancing mix of outer-limits pop and visual performance. Claire Boucher is the petite force behind this big but not intimidating sound of synth-filled, ethereal electro-pop. Her eerie vocals swirled with refreshingly simple beats and plain-but-not-boring melodies make for charmingly lighthearted jams that instantly make for a mellow mood.

Set and Setting describes the context for psychoactive and particularly psychedelic drug experiences: one’s mindset and the setting in which the user has the experience.
Set and Setting is the psychedelic post-rock music project of Saint Petersburg, Florida natives Shane Handal, Mark Etherington, Stephen Handal, and John Kreft. They’re kicking off their first U.S. tour in March and working on their debut album, scheduled to be released at the end of summer. Despite only having shared a 15-minute track on Bandcamp, they’ve captured our attention with their canorous, ambling instrumentals. If you’re a fan of Explosions in the Sky or Mogwai, be sure to check out their music and catch them on tour.
Listen to set and setting on Bandcamp.
Tonight (February 29) at 8:00 P.M. on
WMNF, Set and Setting will be joining the
Grand National Championships Crew to premier a new track previously recorded with Alastair. Don’t miss it!
