BLACK DICE WITH ANIMAL COLLECTIVE

Last night I went to the Open End Gallery with Zack and Jesse to see Black Dice and Animal Collective. Animal Collective was rather intense, especially at the end, when it essentially turned into... an animal collective. Jumping up and down and shouting and drumming. Black Dice was pretty repetitive, but they had some rhythmically focused moments that were particularly intense.

Strange trio that opened the show:



Animal Collective:





Black Dice:





They play the Empty Bottle in Chicago tonight. The rest of the tour dates are here. If you were smart, you'd pick up the tour-only split 12" that the bands are selling. I am not smart.
