Los Angeles-based instrumental duo El Ten Eleven will perform on Thursday, Sept. 23 at Founders Brewery Co. in Grand Rapids at 10 p.m. Joining it will be the electronic group, Baths, and the experimental multi-instrumentalist, Dosh.
The ETE duo is a rarity in its ability to create pounding landscapes of sound without any use of laptops or sequencers.
Kristian Dunn switches off, sometimes mid-song, between a double-neck bass/guitar and a fretless bass. His feet simultaneously dance on an extensive floorboard of looping devices and effects pedals.
Drummer Tim Fogarty switches between traditional acoustic drums, roto toms, and electronic drum pads, usually within each song.
With more than 400 shows in America under its belt since it began its heavy tour regimen in 2005, ETE has more than perfected its live show.
On its current tour, the band is giving a peak into their fourth EP, It's Still Like A Secret, to be released on Nov. 9. The 12-song collection is a reflection of everything ETE is known for: rich textures, rumbling bass, driving rhythms, soaring climaxes, bright pulses, and so much more.
The show is ages 21+, and admission is $26. For more information, check out www.elteneleven.com or www.foundersbrewing.com/events/live-music.
