Experimental trio Belt of Vapor to play double header tonight
Those of us who caught the Belt of Vapor show last weekend are still woozy from the high-powered math-rock rage.
It was the type of sock-you-in-the-face-for-standing- still show any rock fan would be happy to see twice.
Good thing Belt of Vapor plays back-to-back shows tonight.
Belt of Vapor headlines the Locals Live show at 7 p.m. at the Big Easy Concert House. Support acts include Doom Lit Sky and High Holies. Admission is $5 at the door for the all-ages show.
The Big Easy show will be the right pre-funk for the third anniversary party at The B-Side, 230 W. Riverside Ave., with Belt of Vapor, local psychobilly rockers Six State Bender, funkevil deejay SuperVillain and the strangely popular Olympia white-boy porn rappers Sesame Street Gangsters, who are well-known for shock-hop anthems, crude song lyrics and an obscene stage show (including inflatable sex toys). There is a $5 cover. Showtime is 9:30 p.m.
Belt of Vapor is in the mastering stages of recording its first album, which should be a doozy when it drops, tentatively in August.
