Music Menu The Farewell Monument, Wisebird tonight (6/29/11)

The Farewell Monument Properly composed instrumental music can elevate the listener, despite the lack of a human voice. Add improvisational forays into angular alleys and loops and you’ve got N.C.’s The Farewell Monument. The combo contorts delayed sounds, guitar licks, strumming, jazzy percussion and effects into a spacey and experimental world. Playing with the like-minded bands Comrades, Shy Low, and 3X!13. $6-$9.

Wisebird Wisebird, a crew of Austin-ites, honors its home state with Southern blues and soul. It’s not a ground-breaking sound they have, but the throwback tones could remarkably turn a venue into a rustic barroom. They’re lacking the ridiculous outfits and self-indulgent solos of blues-based rock (see: Aerosmith), and what’s left is only the goods: a blend of throaty vocals, gospel organs, and sneering electric slide guitar. That doesn’t mean Wisebird is a simple band — tunes can change time signatures and tone at the tip of a hat. Get your share of soul a few days before Sunday. $8.
