Record release show by They Dead with Institutional Green and Unstable Shapes at Zhora Darling, for ages 21 and over.
They Dead are playing Zhora Darling on Thursday, October 22, for their record release show. It's a three-band bill with Institutional Green and Unstable Shapes opening, and the night is presented by the venue. Doors open at 6:30 PM, and tickets are $19.06.
They Dead are a Minneapolis trio—singer and guitarist Bryan Knisley, drummer Ian Prince, and bassist Kate Clements. Their sound is lean, melodic, and abrasive, and they describe it as drawing on their histories in the Twin Cities music scene and the socio-political climate of the mid-2020s. If you're trying to place them, they're recommended for fans of Young Widows, IDLES, and Queens of the Stone Age.
Institutional Green are an original rock trio from St. Paul, fronted by Dan Leary on vocals and electric bass, with Kevin Henretta on electric guitar and Billy Dankert on vocals and electric drums. They blend imaginative lyrics and catchy hooks into a heartland indie rock sound that would suit listeners of Minutemen, Elvis Costello, and Pavement. Unstable Shapes are described as noisy post-whatever from Minneapolis, recommended for fans of Unwound, Protomartyr, and The Jesus Lizard.
