Thurs, Sept 9, Tera Melos

Patagonian Rats is the title of the new Tera Melos release on Sargent House records, home to local favorite Zach Hill, along with Red Sparowes, Omar Rodriguez Lopez (the Mars Volta) and others. As customary with any new release, the band will tour incessantly until either the band breaks up or dies in a fiery blaze along some lonely interstate. In all seriousness, the tour itinerary for the young lads looks rather daunting even on paper. After doing a stateside jaunt, these math-rock merchants will head to Japan. If you’ve never witnessed the band live, do not take any hallucinogens, as shit will hit likely the proverbial fan. 2574 21st Street, (916) 585-3136, www.teramelosmusic.com.
