Jamie Lidell
|
Bluebird Theatre

 Lidell is known for layering tracks made with his voice into a microphone, performing the percussion and melody as a sequenced beatboxing one-man band. Then over his augmented voices, he sings soul-inspired songs. This exercise makes for energetic live performances, including one at Bumbershoot in Seattle, WA where he additionally set one of his speakers on fire. 8pm 16+

Tim O'Brien, Mollie O'Brien & Rich Moore
|
Boulder Theater
|
 KGNU's 30th Birthday Benefit Concert: Tim O'Brien is one of the spearheads of contemporary bluegrass. As co- founder and lead vocalist of Hot Rize and Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers, O'Brien served as a bridge between the traditional sounds of the hill country and the modern styles of bluegrass in the 1980s. Since the band's breakup, O'Brien has continued to expand the music's borders as a soloist, a duo partner with his sister Mollie, and with his band, the O'Boys. Tim's Website

Midnite
|
Boulder Theater
|
 Hailing from the Island of St Croiz, Midnite is a vanguard of conscious reggae who "represent the King's and Queen's music to the fullness of Jah." Midnite's profound and innovative lyrics are sincere and deeply rooted to present the other half of the story. Lead singer Vaughn Benjamin's voice seems an amalgamation of many of contemporary musics' greatest voices and remains edgy and interesting. Midnite's lyrical style compounded by Ron Benjamin's (Vaughn's brother) production expertise, keyboard and bass helps keep the family duo sounding great. The band is rounded out by Christian Molina (drums) Wayne Andreas (Keyboards) and Edwin Byron and Edmund Fieulleteau (Guitars). 9pm All ages

Matmos Live
|
Boulder Theater

 Matmos is M.C. Schmidt and Drew Daniel, aided and abetted by many others. In their recordings and live performances over the last nine years, Matmos have used the sounds of: amplified crayfish nerve tissue, the pages of bibles turning, a bowed five string banjo, slowed down whistles and kisses, water hitting copper plates, the runout groove of a vinyl record, a $5.00 electric guitar, liposuction surgery, cameras and VCRs, chin implant surgery, contact microphones on human hair, violins, rat cages, tanks of helium, violas, human skulls, cellos, peck horns, tubas, cards shuffling, field recordings of conversations in hot tubs, frequency response tests for defective hearing aids, a steel guitar recorded in a sewer, electrical interference generated by laser eye surgery, whoopee cushions and balloons, latex fetish clothing, rhinestones on a dinner plate, Polish trains, insects, ukelele, aspirin tablets hitting a drum kit from across the room, dogs barking, people reading aloud, life support systems and inflatable blankets, records chosen by the roll of dice, an acupuncture point detector conducting electrical current through human skin, rock salt crunching underfoot, solid gold coins spinning on bars of solid silver, the sound of a frozen stream thawing in the sun, a five gallon bucket of oatmeal. 9pm All ages

Low
|
Bluebird Theatre
|
 Formed in Duluth, MN, in 1993, Low was perhaps the slowest of the so-called "slowcore" bands delicate, austere, and hypnotic, the trio's music rarely rose above a whisper, divining its dramatic tension in the unsettling open spaces created by the absence of sound. Initially comprising the husband and wife team of guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk and drummer/vocalist Mimi Parker along with bassist John Nichols, Low began as an experimental reaction to the predominance of grunge; Shimmy Disc producer Kramer soon invited the group to record at his Noise N.J. studios, and the resulting demos earned them a deal with the Vernon Yard label. For their seventh full-length album, 2005's The Great Destroyer, the group moved to Sub Pop... 8pm 16+
