X_X, Obnox, Shade
Tuesday, Jan. 12 @ Caledonia Lounge
The music made by Obnox—aka Ohio songwriter Lamont “Bim” Thomas and a rotating cast of collaborators—is dense and invigorating, pulling from noise, punk, hip hop and industrial to create an all-out assault on the senses that is mad catchy in spite of itself—kinda like a more complex and interesting version of Death Grips. Thomas’ latest full-length, the 2015 missive Boogalou Reed, coats references to sacred rock and roll cows (like the one in its title) in grimy layers of fuzz and frenzy. Clevelanders X_X (not to be confused with The xx), a short-lived ‘70s punk act which reformed in the wake of a 2014 album reissue, will also perform.
