Flying by instruments

The stars must be aligning in all the right places for drummer Zach Hill and guitarist Spencer Seim, aka Hella, arguably Sacramento’s most explorative instrumental group. After only a few months on the scene, the duo landed a deal with 5RC, an imprint of the Olympia, WA-based indie label Kill Rock Stars, which in turn recently linked a distribution deal with Touch and Go Records—just in time for Hella’s magnificent debut. Hold Your Horse Is will be out on March 19, but Hella will have copies for sale at its March 9 CD release show at the Capitol Garage. Also on the bill are labelmates Xiu Xiu, Godzik Pink and Slimmoon, which are touring the country together. If you’re looking for a diverse bill with a cross-section of indie fare, you best get yourself down to the Garage at 1427 L St. The show starts at 8 p.m., cover charge is $6, and the show is all ages.
