Eight Gigs: Elephant Rifle
Fri., Aug. 28, 8:30 p.m., Third Space Art Collective, $5
Can someone call Nevada and ask if anyone there still has a face? Because Reno's very own Elephant Rifle damn near melted mine off with their new LP, Ivory. Mixing the streamlined post-hardcore of Helmet with gonzo freakouts reminiscent of punks like Death by Stereo, it's a hell of a ride. The guitars churn, the drums pound, the bass player gets surprisingly loose and the vocals are so confrontational and off-the-chain that you'll wonder if “Dogs, Wolves, Wolverines” is just a song title or a list of inspiration for lead singer Brad Bynum. (Full disclosure: His day job is arts editor for RN&R.) 946 Olive Drive in Davis, https://elephantrifle.bandcamp.com.
