Lespecial

Lespecial play AM/FM on Thursday, October 8, starting at 7 PM. They're a progtronic power trio from Connecticut, and they've built their sound around what they call a "heavy future groove" — metal riffage, surgical rhythmic precision, and bone-shaking sub synths. It's the kind of music that fits a dance floor that welcomes everything from moshing to hip swaying.

They carve their own sonic path by synthesizing starkly divergent influences, drawing on J Dilla, Radiohead, King Crimson, and Tool. From there, they veer from hip-hop to metal, prog to house, and from pensive indie-rock to apocalyptic dub. It's a wide reach for one band, and they cover it as a trio: Luke Bemand on bass synth, percussion, and vocals; Rory Dolan on drums, sampler, percussion, and vocals; and Jonathan Grusauskas on guitar, synth, sampler, and percussion. Each member handles multiple roles, so the sound shifts between them throughout the set.

If you're already into Lotus, The Floozies, Artifakts, or Lettuce, they're right in that wheelhouse. The show is at AM/FM, 1950 Market Center Blvd, in Dallas, on Thursday, October 8, starting at 7 PM.
