A day away from the release of their first new album in ten years, post rock vanguards Godspeed You! Black Emperor will be playing tonight at Town Ballroom. Since 1997, the Canadian group has released a string of masterful records, which oscillates, often in the course of one song, between the atmospheric, claustrophobic and ominous on one hand\and the uplifting and grandiose on the other. Mixed in with this during their live performance is an equally engaging series of video stills and loops comprised of found footage and old documents. The overall effect is immersible and memorable; more of an experience than a concert.

Opening for GY!BE will be a rare appearance by legendary media artist, Tony Conrad. This is not a show to be missed. Tickets are $28 and can still be purchased online or at the Town Ballroom box office.
