Howlin Rain ~ Jeffrey Alexander and the Heavy Lidders
**All events 21+ – valid ID required for entry**Doors: 7 PMShow: 7:30 PMHOWLIN’ RAINOver nearly 20 years, Howlin Rain may have become the quintessential independent American rock ’n roll band: a steam-spitting Hydra of cranked guitars, kicking asphalt dust through a kaleidoscoping travelogue of desert motels and dives, volleying forth transmissions of sci-fi poetry from the blacktop veins of this cracked and aching country. Now, in America 2021, capping this strangest and sorest of times, the band returns with The Dharma Wheel, a six-track, 52-minute dive into a joyous fantasy realm of exaggerated present. “I wanted The Dharma Wheel to be a portal from our everyday world, the one from which you stand on hard ground and hold the album in your hands and peer into the artwork, and into another universe,” says songwriter, guitarist and vocalist, Ethan Miller. “You enter into that universe with your eyes and ears and mind and take a ride through free-form meditation on these ideas — from big, fundamental concepts about our existence right down to the grease that rolls down the arm of a pulp novel killer as he eats a gas station hot dog in an old Dodge in an alleyway.” Lyrically, Miller has completed his evolution into a mushroom-plucking Whitman of the West, singing outlandish tales in a topographic blend of Humbead’s Revised Map of the World and an inverted U.S. where downtrodden bodhisattvas roam the back streets and moonless country roads.JEFFREY ALEXANDER AND THE HEAVY LIDDERSFounding member of The Iditarod in 1996, Black Forest/Black Sea in 2003 and Dire Wolves in 2008.

It was first released digitally, as an independent release, but it later received physical releases from the Shadow Kingdom Records label.In 2018, Church wrote and recorded one single for Haunt, “Ghosts.” Later that same year, Haunt released their first full-length studio album, Burst into Flame. Daniel Wilson returned to play drums for the album, this time as an official band member. Joining Church and Wilson for the album were Matthew Wilhoit on bass and John Tucker on guitar. Both Wilson and Tucker would stay as permanent members, but Wilhoit would be replaced by Taylor Hollman on following releases.In 2019, Haunt released their second EP, (Mosaic Vision) their second studio album, (If Icarus Could Fly) and two split albums. (A Fool’s Paradise / On the Streets Again and Sea of Dreams / The Crystal Temple).

Hymns telling tales of darkness and violence with hidden secrets that explore perceptions of morality. Dungeon Metal forged by cryptic thaumaturgy, and an ode to all who worship steel. https://skullovich.bandcamp.com/album/demo
