Tonight, the Massachusetts based math rock duo GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! will be kicking off their July tour at the Ninth Ward. The pair have been playing together since 2001, having released 4 LPs (Superbass!!!, More Skin With Milk-Mouth, Live In Toronto, and Pink Magick). Their live performances have been have been described as flawless, "gallivanting from sweltering taps and fills to slow, visceral melodies, and back." Categorizing them to be purely math-rock rock would be unfair as they experiment with other instrumental genres such as post-rock and progressive rock. Giraffes? Giraffes! most recent album, Pink Magick (2011), is harsh, abrasive, melodic, and lush at once. Local math-rock heroes, All of Them Witches, and not-so-categorizable Boston indie-rockers Perhaps will be accompanying them tonight. Altogether, it sounds like the Ninth Ward is going to be sonically set aflame the best kind of way with some blistering, rhythmically attuned, freakazoid music.
Doors open at 9PM and admission is $12. See ya there.
