Russian Circles are an instrumental metal band for people that don't like metal bands. They play an interesting blend of Post Rock and Metal that is about as approachable as a metal band can get. They're mellow for the most part, but hidden under their music is a layer of intensity ready to strike at any given moment. Known for sprawling song lengths and dynamic song structures, contemporaries are nearly  nonexistent... and I've heard legends about their live shows. This is surely not a gig to miss.

Supporting Russian Circles tonight is Deafheaven. Tonight's show is at Soundlab and tickets are $17 at the door. Doors open at 8pm and the show begins at 9.
