About this concert
$10 // 21+BE FORESTLIGHTFOILSBLUE UNITSHIMMER DJs----------------Emerging from the small coastal town of Pesaro, ethereal shoegaze trio BE FOREST shook the Italian music scene in the early 2010s with their quick upraise and chilly atmospheres. Debuting their upcoming album on a pervasive world tour, they use mesmerizing progressions and washed out electronic sound to hypnotize the crowds. You won’t want to miss these trailblazing Italians for a show that will surely put you under a spell.LIGHTFOILS is one of Chicago’s finest shoegaze bands, pushing the genre into exciting new territory with their mesmerizing haze, a wintry blizzard punctuated by occasional bright blasts of slashing chords. Occupying a space between storm and calm, LIGHTFOILS' propulsive, tight rhythm section lays the groundwork as lead singer JANE ZABETH's angelic voice soars and shines above the foggy undercurrents. BLUE UNIT is a soaring post-punk side project from Milwaukee consisting of members from shoegaze bands Brief Candles and Flipping Instruments. With Brock Gourlie drumming in his 5th Milwaukee band.

Lightfoils Biography
Formed in 2010, Lightfoils pushes the shoegaze genre into new territory. The band is comprised of Neil Yodnane and Zeeshan Abbasi on guitars, Jane Zabeth on vocals, Cory Osborne on bass and John Rungger on drums. Lightfoils mean business. Building on the promise of their EP, Hierarchy arrives and does not disappoint. “Polar Waves” welcomes you with guitars that chime and ring, before the track slowly lifts you blissfully into space. Immediately following is “Last One”, which seethes with a simmering intensity and propulsive rhythm section, and you’re hooked. Only two tracks in, Lightfoils already own your soul. Hazy soundscapes, ringing guitar, icy synth, feather-light vocals, and actual compelling tunes, Lightfoils use Hierarchy to serve notice: their EP was no fluke, and they will no longer be ignored. If you’re new to Lightfoils, drop the needle on “Diastolic”, “Last One”, or the strangely compelling “alovetodestroy” and you’ll begin to understand what all the fuss is about. But there’s more than just three tracks to this album. Once you get inside, it’s a beautifully rich and textured world to explore.
