Have you ever felt that someone is keeping a secret from you? Something that may or may not be important, but you are just dying to find out? I won't torture you this time and I'll let you in on one. The Tanglewood Collective has rounded up quite the lineup for tonight's show at Cosmic Charlie's. El Ten Eleven is floating in from California to take us to another place tonight, alongside Junk Culture and Patterns. El Ten Eleven is an LA -based instrumental duo known for their musical acrobatics. Kristian Dunn comes equipped with a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass, while Tim Fogarty gets down on the drum kit, both standard and electronic. At Kristian's disposal comes an army of effect pedals. Both use looping to add depth to their sound. However, you wont find a computer on stage helping make those dynamic sounds. El Ten Eleven transcend genres with their melodic, yet unexpected, lines. Within just one song, you leap back and forth between tempos and beat patterns. With each landing, the music continues to take you on a ride. If you don't believe me, check them out for yourselves with a few clips: I Like Van Halen and Indian Winter from a live show on KEXP Seattle.
Junk Culture just released their sophomore effort, Summer Friends, and just wrapped up a stint on tour with Girl Talk. The sounds from this album have been inspired from the lifetime of recordings on a handheld recorder belonging to Deepak Mantena, the man behind the sound.
Patterns is coming off of a historic win at the UK Battle of the Bands last weekend. In a field which included the bands Dirty Grindstones, Soul Funkin Dangerous, Intersecting Horizons and Aerial, Patterns handled their business with style. If you missed them on Haggin Field, now is your chance to see them up close and personal.
No matter how you slice it, this will be an incredible musical journey at Cosmic Charlie's. Doors open at 9 p.m., $8 in advance (ticket link) or $10 at the door, 18+. See you in another dimension ...
