Event information

Kal Marks: Crushing, beautiful, absorbing fuzz-abraded noise rock. For years, Kal Marks was the loudest band in Boston. Though it's hard to fathom, as bands like Pile hammered away on post-hardcore songs and Guerilla Toss shrieked through electronics-driven art-rock, Kal Marks charged through songs of exhaust and hopelessness from behind a wall of amps, a fervor that other artists couldn't match. The trio prioritized volume over all else — it's been their shtick, if it's fair to call it that — and frontman Carl Shane has no problem saying such. (As he once quantified it, "We're the band metalheads come up to after shows and just go, 'Solid.'") It's a composition style they perfected, so when it came time to record their fourth album, Kal Marks decided to get uncomfortable by reeling the noise in. They hit a sweet spot in the process.

What can be said about Sly & The Family Drone that's not already been rolled out before? For the uninitiated, they are a collective, whose singular vision is to lock down disparate elements into one cohesive whole. Drums, sax and electronic noise join together to create a somehow captivating whole.

Their setup in the flesh is like gathering to watch several men fight themselves, often creating a circular space where the audience act as a barrier, a concentrated focus spot for spontaneous jazz/noise/drone to crackle and burn.
