Eight Gigs: Missio
Tue., April 25, 6:30 p.m., Goldfield Trading Post, $15
Missio is the result of a collaboration between songwriter Matthew Brue and producer David Butler. The electronic duo holed up in a converted garage home studio in 2015 and began to engineer the building blocks of their music: loops of drum beats and layered instrumentation. What emerged were dark and brooding emo-tinged electronic songs, bleak yet defiant lyrics appealing to many a gloomy crowd and a sweepingly cinematic scope. Most will find Missio to be undeniably catchy. 1630 J Street, www.missiomusic.com.
