Live metalcore music night featuring Plague Cross, Poacher, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, and Feed Your Body to the Void at the Chess Club.
Plague Cross headline a four-band bill at Chess Club on Saturday, August 22, with Poacher, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, and Feed Your Body to the Void filling out the rest of the night. It's a full slate of local acts sharing one stage, so you'll get four different sets in a single evening.
Chess Club is at 617 Red River, right in downtown Austin. The room is an intimately designed, vibrant facility that books up-and-coming bands and underdogs, and it occupies the space formerly known as Plush. If you've been around the downtown scene for a while, you might recognize the spot by its old name, but it's operating under the Chess Club banner now.
With four bands on the bill, the night is built around a rotating lineup rather than a single headliner. Plague Cross takes the top spot, followed by Poacher, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, and Feed Your Body to the Void. It's the kind of show where you can catch several acts in one go, so it's a good way to see a few different bands without having to coordinate multiple nights.
