Music Menu / News Liturgy, Nick Oliveri rock out Wednesday (01/27/2010)

Liturgy Take a deep breath and wait for a break in the guitar drone to exhale. Don't try it while listening to Liturgy, lest you wanna pass out. This NYC quartet professes to play black metal, but their feedback laden, incessant bombast is more akin to Glenn Branca's orchestral guitar noise combos. Ghostly screams accent the dizzying dual guitars that are cathartic at best and unnerving at worst. The dissonance may get repetitive, yet there's compositional prowess at work here. With Renegade Bong Tyrants. Milestone (Samir Shukla)

Nick Oliveri Former Dwarves, Kyuss, and (most notably) Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri has a certain level of infamy in the destructo-rock pantheon. He's known to play butt-ass naked on occasion. He writes two-minute bruisers that meld the sacred (classic pop structure, big riffs) with the profane (er, lots of profanity). He's either the best or the worst thing that ever happened to QOTSA, depending on where you stand. For this tour, Oliveri's on his own, and showing off his newish platter Death Acoustic, which is yet another left turn for a man who never quite fits into easy categorization. So yes, it'll be acoustic. But he does wear a GG Allin shirt whilst doing it, so there's that. With Lamb Handler. Tremont Music Hall (Timothy C. Davis)
