Press Release - - "An Evening of Eclectic Music" - - Zeitgeist Gallery, Inman Sq., Cambridge:  
post-rock/psych-blues/improv jazz skronk  
Seekonk / the Low Country Messiahs / Stockholm Syndrome

Spend a haunting, ethereal autumn evening enjoying an eclectic line up including Portland, Maine's slo-core
giants Seekonk, as they perform material off of their upcoming sophomore LP.  Comparisons to Mogwai and Low
aside, see why they have labels on both sides of the pond clamoring to put out their next record.

Making their Cambridge debut, Lowell, MA duo the Low Country Messiahs bring a slow burn of ramshackle,
multi-octave singing, psych-drenched slide guitar and eerie sonics married to deep Delta blues and spirituals.  
Imagine Memphis Minnie and Charley Patton on a double-date with Flannery O'Connor and John Brown, while
Jason Spaceman chaperones a baleful trip past scarecrow preacher revivalists under the tent-show's hepatitis-yellow
lights.  Soon to be featured in "No Depression" magazine.  Not to be missed!

Opening the night and marking their 2nd Zeitgeist appearance, local free/freak jazzcore improvisationalists (dear
old) Stockholm Syndrome will alight the senses with the unique wall of sound created when a processed Theremin
bounces off of Ennio Morricone-inflected guitar, white noise, and lap-steel twang, then careens into modern
Dutch-style free drumming.  Neat-o!
