Cooper Crain is busy, both as a member of noted Chicago drone band Cave and as
one third of Bitchin Bajas, with a more explosive and fancy-free approach to their
experimental jaunts through the airwaves. I think of track ‘Skylarking’ as a good
example of the group’s sound, which unfolds like a synthetic barn swallow migrating
through the transcontinental radio dial from Ethiopia to England. The Bajas are currently on tour with Geologist from Animal Collective — more on him later — but for scheduling reasons are providing the opening salvo to that invasion tonight at the Miniplex at 8:30 p.m. ($20). Local knob and tube wizz Hudson Glover is a fine opening match for this show.
