Eight Gigs: (Waning)

What else is there to say about (Waning), the local atmospheric metal band that formed a whopping decade ago? The group consistently stretches preconceived notions about metal, stitching in elements of shoegaze and doom into its muddy, psychedelic and spacious experiments. Fans that have been playing 2014’s The Funeral Mountains on repeat should clear their schedules now for (Waning)’s brand new album Still Hours, a doozy of eight tracks recorded at Earth Tone Studios. Hear some of it live at the release show alongside Pacifica sludge punkers SQUALUS and Sacramento’s Ghostplay. 1517 21st Street, www.facebook.com/waningband.
