April 24th Headliner
Evangelicals
Picking up where their 2006 debut So Gone left off, Evangelicals leave behind much of their ADD-addled approach on The Evening Descends, instead taking their wealth of great ideas and harnessing them for good. The hyperactive, overdriven pop is still here, but it is balanced with restraint--not a lot, but enough--that allows the songs to shine through. All this and stories, too: Beneath the shrieks of guitars, keyboard blasts, and proggy space-age grooves, singer/guitarist Josh Jones leads the listener through tales of religion and revivalism, plus insanity, drugs, black-outs, zombies, good and evil, car crashes, love and a mental institution called Bellawood. Jones’s wild narratives and propulsive pop songs are anchored with the right balance of stoicism and wit by bassist/keyboardist Kyle Davis and drummer Austin Stephens.

April 25th Headliner

The Non + Cloud Collision Orchestra
"The Non is an experimental, ambient rock band from Oklahoma City that has been delivering high-energy, dynamic performances to fans for four years. Their debut album, Paper City (2007) sold over a 1,000 copies and packed Oklahoma music venues. The Oklahoma Gazette reported, “If you can imagine that time before a storm—that eerie, tense silence—this is the perfect time to hit play on the band's new CD, 'Paper City.'" The Gazette later announced The Non as “Best Rock Band” of 2008. After playing sold out shows on a Midwest tour, The Non played with fifteen members of the OKC Philharmonic and are about to release their sophomore album 'Tadaima' in January 2010. “Tadaima”—a Japanese phrase that translates as “I’m home”—is not just the title of the album, but a statement. For the Non, music isn’t just the amplification of intricate chords and perfected instrumentation. It’s emotion. It’s experience. It’s home."
