Music news Howlin Rain at Criminal Records/Drunken Unicorn this Friday
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Mon, Jun 2, 2008 at 2:07 PM
Ethan Miller is best-known as the main man responsible for churning out the the droning art metal of his other band, Comets on Fire. But with Howlin Rain performing this Friday night, JUNE 6, Miller helms a show of baroque, psychedelic rock jams that are laced with nods to the avant-garde. But above all else, Howlin Rain is a rock band that's rooted in the traditions of Jefferson Airplane in the '60s, the Byrds in their psychedelic heyday and the good Grateful Dead records.
The group's second full-length, Magnificent Fiend, released under the wings of Rick Rubin's American Recordings, is rife with big, gospel explosions of organ wash and harmonic riffage that glows with the kaleidoscopic aura of San Francisco circa '66. $8. 9 p.m. Drunken Unicorn, 736 Ponce de Leon Place. www.thedrunkenunicorn.net.
If you can't make it to the Drunken Unicorn and would prefer the the more intimate settings of a FREE in-store performance, Howlin Rain will also be performing at Criminal Records in L5P earlier in the evening at 7 p.m.
