A killer trifecta of bands looking to stir your emotions as the year comes to an end - tonight’s showcase at Cave Art Venue can’t be beat. Sincere, seasoned instrumental rock chock full of epic, atmospheric arrangements, Changsha’s Summer Fades Away returned with their first LP in 13 years this past summer. They join Shanghai’s RUBUR, known for their ruthlessly gorgeous and evocative sound, who find solace in their signature swirl of feedback and simmering reverb. Last but not least, Serious Desperado - the young emo noise rockers inject their whirlwind sound with hard-edged angst, muscular musicality, and a youthful vulnerability that’s both heedless and sincere, give one last woo-rah before taking a break to record.
