Mondays are great for hidden gem shows and tonight is one such perfect jewel. Animal Piss, It’s Everywhere from Western Massachusetts not only sits on the shortlist for strangest band names to ever grace this page, but the band is also fantastic, with an outsider country sound that is so far beyond it should be considered trans-dimensional. Speaking of names, pay no mind to the seasonal dysphoria behind Winter Band, this local collective of outré musicians is
fantastic in any form, and tonight’s chrysalis will include Ben Chasny from Six Organs of Admittance, along with Donovan Quinn, whose recent group Western Extra just recorded some excellent work you will be hearing about in these pages. Where else but the sonic cavern of the Miniplex would such a treasure be found? An early week show has an early start time of 7:30 p.m., with tickets going for $15 — perfectly reasonable for what glitters tonight.
