Eight Gigs: Noctooa
Thurs., May 7, 8 p.m., Cafe Colonial, $8
Noctooa hails from the East Bay, but point of origin shouldn't be an issue. The group's sound is altogether timeless and sounds like it was birthed during the voyage from Mecca to Medina. If you love dark, brooding vocals against the backdrop of cello, violin, didgeridoo and a flurry of fuzzy guitar, this group will deliver darkness in spades. One listen to the plodding rhythms of “Persistence” or the wondrous “Can't Serve” from the 2013 release Adaptation should be more than enough to pry neo-folk and Nick Cave fans from their perch. Also on this all-ages bill are Aerial Ruin, Venetian Veil and Oort Cloud. 3520 Stockton Blvd, http://noctooa.com.
