Wolf Eyes • trip metal • Mesa Ritual • TAHNZZ

Motor City-bred noise trio Wolf Eyes has wreaked glorious, post-industrial havoc for 16 sweet years now. Self-described as "trip metal," this experimental band synthesizes genres ranging from metal to hardcore to electronic. Founder Nate Young (ex-Nautical Almanac, Regression) is the only remaining founding member. Now flanked by John Olson and Jim Baljo, the prolific band—Wolf Eyes' discography is in the triple-digits—has released recordings on myriad labels, ranging from Sub Pop to willfully obscure micro-labels. Wolf Eyes' latest studio album No Answer: Lower Floors dropped on De Stijl Records in the spring of 2013 and garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews from publications like The Wire, Magnet and the Austin Chronicle. See—and more importantly hear—what all the authentically abrasive but masterfully controlled fuss is about on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at Burt's Tiki Lounge (313 Gold SW). Nuevomexicano noisemakers Mesa Ritual and TAHNZZ open, and the 21-plus show begins at 9pm. Admission will only run you $5; that's the cheapest ticket on Wolf Eyes' entire West Coast tour, y'all.
