The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $15 Adv. Tickets | $20 Day of | 21+ w/ Valid ID Over the past two decades, Cursive has become known for writing smart, tightly woven concept albums where frontman Tim Kasher turns his unflinching gaze on specific, oftentimes challenging themes, and examines them with an incisively brutal honesty. 2000’s Domestica dealt with divorce; 2003’s The Ugly Organ tackled art, sex, and relationships; 2006’s Happy Hollow skewered organized religion; 2009’s Mama, I’m Swollen grappled with the human condition and social morality; and 2012’s I Am Gemini explored the battle between good and evil. But the band’s remarkable eighth full-length, Vitriola, required a different approach -- one less rigidly themed and more responsive as the band struggles with existentialism veering towards nihilism and despair; the ways in which society, much like a writer, creates and destroys; and an oncoming dystopia that feels eerily near at hand. Cursive has naturally developed a pattern of releasing new music every three years, creating records not out of obligation, but need, with the mindset that each record could potentially be their last. 2015 came and went, however, and the band remained silent for their longest period to date. But the members of Cursive have remained busy with solo records, a movie (the Kasher-penned and directed No Resolution), and running businesses (the band collectively owns and operates hometown Omaha’s mainstay bar/venue, O’Leaver’s). The band even launched their own label, 15 Passenger, through which they’re steadily reissuing their remastered back catalogue, as well as new albums by Kasher, Campdogzz, and David Bazan and Sean Lane. And like many others, the band members have been caught up in the inescapable state of confusion and instability that plagues their home country, and seems to grow more chaotic with each passing day. Which brings us to 2018 and Vitriola. For the first time since Happy Hollow, the album reunites Kasher, guitarist/singer Ted Stevens and bassist Matt Maginn with founding drummer Clint Schnase, as well as co-producer Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, M. Ward, Jenny Lewis) at ARC Studios in Omaha. They’re joined by Patrick Newbery on keys (who’s been a full-time member for years) and touring mainstay Megan Siebe on cello. Schnase and Maginn are in rare form, picking up right where they left off with a rhythmic lockstep of viscera-vibrating bass and toms, providing a foundation for Kasher and Stevens’ intertwining guitars and Newbery and Siebe’s cinematic flourishes. The album runs the sonic gamut between rich, resonant melodicism, Hitchcockian anxiety, and explosive catharsis -- and no Cursive album would be complete without scream-along melodies and lyrics that, upon reflection, make for unlikely anthems. There’s a palpable unease that wells beneath Vitriola’s simmering requiems and fist-shakers. Fiery opener “Free To Be or Not To Be You and Me” reflects the album’s core: a search for meaning that keeps coming up empty, and finding the will to keep going despite the fear of a dark future. The album directs frustration and anger at not only modern society and the universe at large, but also inward towards ourselves. On “Under the Rainbow,” disquiet boils into rage that indicts the complacency of the privileged classes; “Ghost Writer” has a catchy pulse that belies Kasher chastising himself for writing about writing; and “Noble Soldier/Dystopian Lament” is a haunting look at potential societal collapse that provides little in the way of hope but balances beauty and horror on the head of a pin. Vitriola raises a stark question: is this it? Is everything simply broken, leaving us hopeless and nihilistic? Maybe not. There can be reassurance in commiseration, and the album is deeply relatable: Cursive may not be offering the answers, but there is hope in knowing you're not alone in the chaos. Summer Cannibals - Led by guitarist/vocalist Jessica Boudreaux, the Cannibals initially cut their teeth on the local Portland circuit, sharing the stage and receiving encouragement from peers including The Thermals. Along the way, they released a pair of fantastic full-lengths -- 2013’s No Makeup and 2015’s Show Us Your Mind — on their own label, New Moss Records. Show Us Your Mind appeared on NPR’s Sound Opinions Best of list in 2015. The band has since spent an unhealthy amount of time on the road, earning accolades and adding plenty of fresh converts to their highly-charged, no frills attack. Campdogzz capture the bleak yet spirited heart of the industrial midwest in a five-piece band propelled by driving rhythms, insistent dual guitars set in intriguing arrangements, and the haunting, evocative songs and voice of Tulsa native Jess Price. In a moment, Jess turns a beguiling melody to a darkening storm, rich in portent and meaning.

POWERSOLO (Denmark)
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | FREE | 21+ w/ Valid ID POWERSOLO - These Danish retro-rockers have been led from the outset by guitarist and songwriter Kim "Kix" Jeppesen, whose infatuation with classic rockabilly and rock & roll has provided the driving force behind their career. Jeppesen began recording under the Powersolo moniker in 1996 in Aarhus, Jutland, bashing out simple rock & roll numbers on his primitive equipment. He expanded the lineup in the late '90s with the addition of his younger brother Bo Jeppesen aka Atomic Child on drums. The duo performed throughout Europe and America at festivals and clubs, thrilling and confusing audiences in turn with their frantic blend of rock & roll, psychobilly, blues, and cowpunk. Prior to the recording of their debut album, Atomic Child switched to lead guitar and Jens "Chief Benz" Søndergaard was brought into the lineup as the band's new drummer. The 2002 release Lemon Half Moon, the wonderfully titled 2004 follow-up It's Raceday ...And Your Pussy Is Gut!!!, and 2006's Egg saw the trio rattling out their unhinged rockabilly punk, and were fun, lewd, and rude in equal measure. In 2008 the band provided the soundtrack for the Danish crime drama feature film Himmerland, followed by the all new studio LP Bloodskinbones in 2009. The typically nervy and raucous Buzz Human, the band's fifth full-length outing, arrived in 2011, followed by the sonically like-minded Real Sound in 2014. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi “Massive and mobile,revved-up and smirking wired manic relentlessness with polished precision musicianship and plenty of gratuitous sonic elegance and refinement within their genre-shifting role playing. But no matter what they try these guys can really make it come to life (..) So good it’s ridiculous!” - Dream Magazine, USA

That 1 Guy
The Dip

Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $10 Tickets | 21+ w/ Valid ID Imagine the brainchild of Dr. Seuss, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, Stanley Kubrick and Rube Goldberg, and you begin to understand the spectacle of a That 1 Guy performance by Berkeley, CA-based, classically trained musician Mike Silverman. As inventor and player of The Magic Pipe, That 1 Guy’s show has to be seen to be believed, as he single-handedly (and foot-edly) plays his amazing instrument, made out of miked steel pipes with a single, thick bass string wired from top to bottom, not to mention an Appalachian handsaw, an electric cowboy boot and belching smoke. Combining elements of classical music with electronica, Silverman puts his classical training to good use creating music that is ethereal, gothic and heart pounding. “It’s pretty serious,” says Silverman, about his one-man concert performance, equal parts music, technology, science, art and spectacle and suitable for audiences of all ages, as he uses his hands and feet to create an industrial tribal rhythm that must be seen and heard to be believed. “There’s a lot to take in. When people see me play, they just intuitively get it.” His audiences range from psychedelic warriors to families of all ages. Last year, he embarked on a five-week jaunt with Guns N’ Roses guitarist Buckethead in which the two collaborated nightly. “We really got out there and had a good time,” says Silverman. “He brought things out of me musically I don’t bring out of myself.” A That 1 Guy concert is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, like taking a trip around the world without leaving your seat.

Ages and Ages - The Harmaleighs
The Dip
1730 California St
Redding, CA 96001 Map
Doors 8PM | $7 Tickets | 21+ w/ Valid ID TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY JAN. 18th @ 9 AM For the past two years, Tim Perryand Rob Oberdorfer, the creative braintrust behind the offbeat but often upbeat group Ages and Ages got together twice a week to work on new music, along with drummer and co-producer Evan Railton. Not terribly out of the ordinary, really. They were, after all, in the process of creating a follow up to their acclaimed 2016 album Something To Ruin. But beyond just the simple act of getting together with friends to create, it proved to be a necessary ballast. In the wake of the 2016 election when every day seemed to bring a new bit of insanity to our lives, this was something to look forward to and something to help them make sense of it all. Call it musical grouptherapy. “Art is supposed to helpget at the root of the human experience and what it’s like to be alive,” Perry says. “And the challenge is how do you make music that confronts these complicated, important and sometimes very dark questions and do so in a way that still bounces around andmaintains some level of optimism?” It’s a thin needle to thread but Ages andAges have done just that on their forthcoming album Me You They We. The 10 songs on this self-released LP don’t shy away from the uneasy feelings so many of us have been havingsince 2016. They shine a light through the murk with a glistening sound and lyrics that are unblinking yet suffused with a sense of hope. The Elton John-like grinder “Forever Cul-De-Sac” addresses cultural myopia and looking for those outlets to see what’s beyond the titular dead-end street (“I want to have vision/but I can’t see out,” Perry sings). The shimmering, swinging “How It Feels” admits that “my problems are irrelevant” when compared with folks that are truly struggling but that “doesn’t make them any less real.” And on "Unsung Songs," Perry and Allen sing about what it's like to be caught on the wrong end of the political pendulum over a wash of synth-heavy dream pop capped by falsetto vocals. The Harmaleighs - honestly craft poetic, passionate, and powerful songs cut from a pastiche of indie, folk, pop and Americana.
