\nThis critically lauded foursome from Los Angeles got its start in 2000 playing original music that bore sonic similarities to My Bloody Valentine; their more recent material adds electronics to the mix; as fine as the early music was and remains, the change is arguably a major improvement. An exemplar of the earlier sound is the staggeringly popular (124 million plays on Spotify) \u201cLazy Eye.\u201d The newer, even more tuneful sound can best be experienced on a superb track called \u201cCircadian Rhythm (Last Dance)\u201d from 2015\u2019s Better Nature<\/i>. Their latest album, the alluring Physical Thrills<\/i> was released in 2022.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros.<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Thomas Wolfe Auditorium<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Wednesday, Feb. 22, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $59.50 and up
\nSince the dissolution of the Grateful Dead, former members of the beloved psych\/jam heroes have spun off into myriad new ventures; all aim in one sense or another to carry on the spirit of the Dead. Some are more successful than others. But as one of the Grateful Dead\u2019s primary vocalists and songwriters, Bob Weir often comes closest to that goal. His current band is \u2013 no surprise here \u2013 filled with hotshot players.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Music of Morton Feldman<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Friday, Feb. 24 and Saturday, Feb. 25, 7 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $15
\nComposer Morton Feldman\u2019s name is often mentioned in the same breath as John Cage and Stefan Wolpe; he was a significant figure in 20th<\/sup> century experimental\/classic music. He chose to ignore the perceived length restrictions in composition. This pair of shows features pianist Amy Williams on Friday (performing Triadic Memories<\/i>) and the Jack Quartet performing Feldman\u2019s Piano and String Quartet<\/i> on Saturday. The latter piece was written with Kronos Quartet in mind, which should give you some idea of its nature.<\/p>\n

\"\"Artist<\/b>: Os Mutantes<\/a>
\nVenue<\/b>: The Grey Eagle<\/a>
\nDate<\/b>: Sunday, Feb. 28, 8 p.m.
\nDoor<\/b>: $25
\nFans of psychedelia and\/or tropicalia may recognize the name Os Mutantes; the adventurous Brazilian group enjoyed a belated moment in the international spotlight when \u201cBat Macumba\u201d was featured on the epic 2001 compilation Nuggets II: Original Artyfacts from the British Empire and Beyond, 1965-1969<\/i>. But that track merely scratches the surface. The revolving-door lineup of Os Mutantes continues to tour and record to this day. Founding member S\u00e9rgio Dias is still in the group.<\/p>\n

See you at the show!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
