THE ABBEY PRESENTS:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::CASTANETS:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Like the moment of reckoning in 'A Fist Full of Dollars,' dark and brooding, and brimming with primeval Wild Westisms. If you're a fan of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy or Songs: Ohia you'll be in love. Ray Rapaso, the genius behind Castanets, will be accompanied by a full band.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::LUX PERPETUA:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I've heard Lux Pereptua compared to Neutral Milk Hotel. One of the many differences between the erstwhile indie-icons and Lux Perpetua is that Justin Wolf actually has a gorgeous voice. He's the Neil Young to Bon Iver's Nick Drake. From Philly via Charlottesville.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::VIRGIN FOREST::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hailing from Gainesville, FL, Virgin Forest has a long history, entwined with Phosphorescent and Castanets. This will be their second show at Glasslands. If you're into Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jolie Holland, or Bon Iver, they're a must-see.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::LACRYMOSA::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

These gorgeous vignettes take a more classical stance on the witty pop songs of Regina Spektor, landing closer to the sprawling and delicate wist of Joanna Newsom. Intricate and tender.
The bands will be accompanied by a projection installation by Borna Sammak (if he doesn't trip acid and get kicked out), which should be way-cül. We're working on some ideas, and I'm certain it'll make this aural bombast visually spectacular, too. After Castanets there'll be J Stuart of The Cloud Room providing a DJ set with some dank jams.
COST:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
$10 (Pre-sale pending.) Since there's a good possibility this will sell out we may decide to print some brown paper tickets.
