Thursday, December 17th – Turner Hall Ballroom – 7:30 p.m. – $12

The art of storytelling is available for anyone who dares. Those who want to try have to pick stories relating to the theme of the night, write their name in a hat, and wait to see who gets chosen. Yes, it’s up to fate. But the story telling is always fun.

God Speed You! Black Emporer

Friday, February 12th – Turner Hall Ballroom – 8 p.m. – $25

A classic cult group with a bizarre name (taken from a 1976 Japanese movie about a biker gang), this Canadian post-rock band stages theatrical shows that sample film loops while creating sense-rattling wall-of-sound performances with soaring soundscapes and orchestral dynamics.  The way the band is put together is similar to an orchestra, with each instrument timed out to be perfectly in sync with each other. The title of the band’s latest, its 2015 album Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress, gives some sense of its unique aesthetic.
