After The Mars Volta decided to go on hiatus, guitarist Omar Rodríguez-López decided to form Bosnian Rainbows, who will be performing at the First Unitarian Church on Tuesday, June 25. With Teri Gender Bender’s (from Le Butcherettes) rich and throaty vocals, the band has developed into what López describes as a combination of Led Zeppelin, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Gang of Four. The band will be performing songs off their self-titled debut album (released 3 days after the show!), featuring their singles “Torn Maps” and “Turtle Neck” (click here to read or album review and to listen to some tunes). Opening act will be Sister Crayon.
Tickets to the show are $20-$23, show starts at 8:00 pm and is all ages. You can purchase your tickets here or take a stab at winning a pair by entering the contest below, courtesy of Spaceland Presents and Grimy Goods.
P.S. Parking is a bitch at First Unitarian. Sidecar is offering $10 off your Sidecar ride to/from the show.
Just set 2936 W 8th St Los Angeles, CA 90005 as your drop off (or pick up) location to activate the #HOTSPOT and leave the driving to Sidecar!
