Art Contest
Like its math-rock peers, Clemson, SC band Art Contest traffics in jittery rhythms and intricate guitar patterns, crafting a jagged, frenetic atmosphere designed to get listeners moving in unexpected ways. But the band’s music is also in line with the exciting new crop of emo revivalists, a cubist take on melodic ’90s indie rock. The group’s new single, “Wall Ball,” is available to stream and download on Bandcamp. Joining Art Contest on Friday are locals Cinemechanica and Mothers, the songwriting project of Athens lady Kristine Leschper that has grown into a tight and fearsome full-band unit.
10 p.m. $6 (21+), $8 (18–20). caledonialounge.com
