El Ten Eleven is a two-piece instrumental post-rock band based out of LA, and it's perfectly understandable if you are excited that they are playing Buffalo tonight. The band weaves some beautiful, often haunting orchestrations that sometimes seem electronic in their precision, but which are actually constructed by a straight-forward guitar/drums setup (along with some keys and a bevy of effect boxes and loop stations). The end result seems like a cross between Mercury Program, Explosions in the Sky, and Flying Lotus, and it's almost as mesmerizing to watch these two pull it off as it is to close your eyes and just listen. Fans of art-rock, indie, dance, and even jam kids that are starting to realize jam sucks and they were just high, ought to check it out when El Ten Eleven comes to Nietzsche's tonight (248 Allen St., 9PM, $12), adeptly paired with genius beat maker Eliot Lipp.
