ADULT. & A Place To Bury Strangers

Friday, November 20 ADULT. & A Place To Bury Strangers * DANA $25 Adv. / $30 Day of / 18+ / Doors: 8pm / Show: 9pm ADULT . is not cooperating. For over 25 years, the dystopian Detroit synth-punk institution founded by Nicola Kuperus and Adam Lee Miller has embodied steadfast frustration, distrust, and apprehension. One might expect the edges to soften with time, but ADULT. is not interested in the comforts of legacy. The duo’s music has never sounded as visceral, urgent, and downright angry as it does on the culminating, uncompromising Kissing Luck Goodbye, their scorched-earth 10th LP and fourth with Dias Records. Built with upgraded gear and a whole new library of sounds, the material is crushingly dynamic, louder yet clearer, with Kuperus’ commanding delivery given greater prominence in the mix, outlining an arsenal of vivid, caustic calls, chants, and musings. Fans around the world know Oliver Ackermann always brings surprises. For nearly two decades, the singer and guitarist of New York City’s A Place To Bury Strangers has fused post-punk, noise-rock, shoegaze, psychedelia, and avant-garde experimentation into music that feels volatile and alive. As the founder of Death By Audio, he’s extended that same spirit through his signal-scrambling effects, empowering artists everywhere to push sound past its limits. Onstage, A Place To Bury Strangers delivers a shamanistic experience—immersive, feral, and electrifying—where real-time experiments and sudden breakthroughs collide.

Turnover- Down On Earth Tour

Turnover?s sixth album, Down On Earth is a foundational shift for the band. It?s an evolution encompassing fragments of the various sounds and scenes they?ve cut their teeth in over their decade-spanning career. Honed in with the help of their longtime front of house engineer Zac Montez, Turnover sought out to and succeeded in capturing the essence of their renowned live show to Down On Earth. The album is also the most collaborative in their discography. The band reconvened after 2022?s Myself in the Way and took their time, utilizing the course of four years to hammer out the shape of their new album in the room together, iterating and improvising on ideas, experiences, riffs, and stray lyrics that each member brought to those sessions from lived experiences and life changes over that span.

A Holiday Cabaret with The Uptones

The Uptones are one of the most venerable post-collegiate/adult a cappella groups in Chicago; we were founded as Uptown Sound in 2009 — before The Sing-Off, before Pitch Perfect, just as a cappella was exploding off of college campuses nationwide. A group of young professionals, with a mixture of singing experience (from college a cappella groups, to musical theatre, to choirs, to nothing at all), came together and decided to set out on an adventure in the world of contemporary pop a cappella. We've gone from performing for 20-odd family and friends in a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop to regular audiences of over 120 at our biannual concerts, and from a repertoire of self-arranged music by none other than our talented members. In our more than a decade of singing together, over 70 people have joined us for at least a little while (anywhere from 12–16 at any one time). We sing because we enjoy performing, because we need a creative outlet… and we stay, because it's fun. The makeup of the group continues to change, but the personality remains the same: music, friendship, and a little bit of humor. We hope you'll love listening to us as much as we love performing for you.

Temples: The BLISS Tour with GIFT

Temples name has become synonymous with a band with an adventurous spirit; constantly exploring new ideas. On their fifth album, Bliss, they shake up the perception of the Kettering-formed four-piece with a record that ventures into electronic territory while staying true to their core DNA. Euphoric and melancholic melodies of late 90s dance music blend with psych-tinged riffs and loops to create something fresh.After the 2023 release of Exotico felt overlooked, the band-James Bagshaw (vocals/guitar), Thomas Walmsley (bass), Adam Smith (keyboards/guitar), and Rens Ottink (drums)-hit a creative standstill. Theres so much more to us as a band and as a group of people, says Walmsley. Were completely reconnecting with why we started and who were making the music for-which is ourselves.Reinvigorated, Temples signed with V2 Records and returned to working together in person. Unlike Exotico, Bliss was produced entirely by the band. Bagshaw explains: It was very freeing. It felt like you could just improvise. The album features self-sampling, creating a shared palette of sounds that could be lifted, reversed, or reimagined across tracks -building up audio Pantones, as Bagshaw puts it.Sonically, Bliss reinterprets dance music in Temples style. Lead single Jet Stream Heart captures the thrill of being drawn into music, while Vendetta merges scuzzy riffs with lasering synths and dance melodies. Blue Flame, drawn from a chorus Smith had in his pocket for some years, explores disconnection with a slower, icier sound. Revelations nods to Gregorian chants, blending spiritual and matter-of-fact elements. Megalith tackles frustrations, surrender, and the fear of being stuck amidst a moving world.Though the band missed the late 90s rave culture firsthand, Bliss channels that eras bittersweet euphoria, drawing inspiration from Faithless, Underworld, Prodigy, Air, Ryksopp, Moby, Massive Attack, Orbital, Portishead, and more. Psych and dance share a natural lineage, with repetition, loops, and trance-like states forming the albums foundation.For Temples, Bliss represents creative freedom and a shared sense of joy in making music.Weve just done exactly what we want to do in a purely selfish way, and that becomes not selfish when people connect with it, says Bagshaw. Forward-looking yet aware of its roots,the album is unmistakably Temples: People should throw out whatever they thought wewerethis is what we are.
