Sun Nov 8
8 pm,
Dirty Projectors and Tune-Yards at Bluebird TheaterBluebird Theater 3317 E Colfax Ave, Denver/Boulder, CO
Dirty Projectors are led by Dave Longstreth, a talented art-rock upstart who has taken listeners on a bizarre journey through quirky releases like a 9/11-themed “glitch opera” and 2007’s Rise Above, an appropriation of old Black Flag songs played by memory. The new Bitte Orca may throw longtime fans for a bigger loop: It’s the group’s catchiest record yet, combining avant-garde pop, scratchy African-inspired melodies, and even bumping R&B beats in a perfect marriage of eccentricity and accessibility.
