AT BEACHLAND BALLROOMGrog Shop Presents Kishi Bashi with Sweet Loretta LIVE at Beachland BallroomMonday, October 14Doors 7 p.m. | Show 8 p.m.All Ages$25 advance / $28 day of show+ $2 at door if under 21 The latest full-length from Kishi Bashi, Kantos is a work of exquisite duality: a party album about the possible end of humanity as we know it, at turns deeply unsettling and sublimely joyful. In a sonic departure from the symphonic folk of his critically lauded 2019 LP Omoiyaria career-defining body of work born from his intensive meditation on the mass incarceration of Japanese-Americans during World War IIthe Seattle-born singer/songwriter/producers fifth studio album encompasses everything from Brazilian jazz and 70s funk to orchestral rock and city pop (a Japanese genre that peaked in the mid-80s). Informed by an equally kaleidoscopic mix of inspirationsthe cult-classic sci-fi novel series Hyperion Cantos, the writings of 18th century enlightenment philosopher Immanuel Kant, a revelatory trip to ancient ruins on the island of CreteKantos ultimately serves as an unbridled exaltation of the human spirit and all its wild complexities.

Such a talented performer with excellent stage presence. His dad even made a surprise appearance to add some saxophone to an already powerful sound. So much fun to see!
