In House #1652: Sonic Youth in Missoula Tonight; Rogue Wave, Black Heart Procession In the Area This Weekend

It's difficult to say whether or not Sonic Youth has ever played Montana, but it seems fairly likely that tonight's show at the University of Montana in Missoula is their first. It only took twenty-five years. The band is currently touring in support of their fifteenth full-length, the excellently sparse Rather Ripped, and recent reviews have shown the band's live show to be as electric as ever.

Sonic Youth

Watch Sonic Youth's recent performance of "Incinerate," on Late Night with David Letterman.


Elsewhere this weekend, Rogue Wave drifts into Salt Lake City's Kilby Court tomorrow night. The San Francisco band released their second album, Descended Like Vultures, last year and it was easily one of the best-sounding releases of 2005.

Rogue Wave

San Diego's Black Heart Procession plays two shows in the area this weekend, touring in support of their recent album The Spell. Boise's Neurolux plays host on Saturday night before a funereal parade down I-84 to the Urban Lounge in Salt Lake City on Sunday night.

Black Heart Procession

Closer to home, Salt Lake City's Starmy makes their first Pocatello appearance Saturday night at the First National Bar in Old Town.
