Metallic hardcore punks Converge will be in the Mile Hi City with their intellegent brutal assault of mathcore. Formed in 1990 by Kurt Ballou and Jacob Bannon, they’ve been releasing albums for two decades, great ones like “Halo In A Haystack” “Jane Doe” and “Axe To Fall” intense, chaotic with fast guitars, double bass, blast beats, screams and pure angst. Noisy, thrash influenced hardcore!
Also playing: Git Some – punk metal from Denver and Glass Hits – punk rock from the Rockies.
Legendary stoner/doom metal band Sleep are back together for a small tour that includes Colorado! Formed in the early 90’s by Al Cisneros (bass/vocals) and then later joined by Matt Pike (guitar) and several different drummers, (Jason Roeder from the mighty Neurosis is currently playing with them,) they have had a strong influence on today’s stoner metal. They released such masterpieces as “Sleep’s Holy Mountain” and “Jerusalem/Dopesmoker,” back in the 90’s but no new material in this past decade. After their breakup Al formed experimental metal band OM and Matt formed High On Fire, both very influenced by Sleep and Black Sabbath. Bring your psychedelic’s and enjoy the show.
Also playing: Russian Circles – Progressive instrumental metal from Chicago and Git Some – Mile Hi punks.
