One Inch Badge proudly presents:

PELICAN

Us here at One Inch Badge are really excited to welcome back the tour de force that is PELICAN!

This is going to be an absolutely incredible show for all you instrumentalists!

Pelican is a post-metal quartet from Chicago, Illinois. Established in 2000, the band stems from their native post-metal scene and is known for their atmospheric and entirely instrumental style. They have released four studio albums and four EPs and gained television exposure.

The band is known for its dense combinations of different melodies and extended track lengths. Its distinctive sound draws from stoner rock, doom metal, post-rock, and other influences. Larry Herweg, Trevor de Brauw, and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec also make up three-quarters of the band Tusk.

Previously signed to Hydra Head Records (which is owned and operated by Aaron Turner of Isis), Pelican is now part of the Southern Lord Records roster.

In 2012 Pelican announced the release of their new E.P titled Ataraxia/Taraxis. In April 2012 they also embarked on a European and UK tour, playing several shows across England as well as shows in Italy, Germany, Finland, the Dunk Festival in Belgium and the Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands. The support bands for this tour included Bo Ningen and Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster in the UK, and Tombs in Mainland Europe. And in June 2012, they notified the public of the absence of Laurent.

STRAND OF OAKS - Free Show

It is with great pleasure that we announce this very special FREE ENTRY show from one of the most talked-about artists of the year ahead... STRAND OF OAKS.

All of the songs Timothy Showalter writes as STRAND OF OAKS are based on true stories. And in Strand of Oaks songs, lovers get divorced, murder John Belushi’s drug dealer, go bowling with mythical giants, watch their youth slip away and commune with John F. Kennedy’s illegitimate son. Obviously, Showalter has allowed himself many liberties with what constitutes the truth, and his commingling of fact and fiction, of humor and heartbreak simultaneously distinguishes him from the bearded, acoustic-toting singer-songwriters he’s so easily compared to: immerse yourself in a Strand of Oaks record and confessionals turn into metaphor, autobiography transferred into tall tales.

The self-released, self-promoted Killdragon earned an “eMusic selects” designation and an 8.1 score at notoriously fickle Pitchfork. In the years that followed, Strand of Oaks found itself touring with Eric Bachmann’s CROOKED FINGERS and THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH, both heroes and peers.

This has been Strand of Oaks’ M.O. over the span of three albums, the latest of which is DARK SHORES, the most direct and accomplished to date.

Dark Shores delivers on the promise of its title in the same way Leave Ruin and Pope Killdragon did: this is a record of encroaching uncertainty, of diving into the unknown, of risk in the face of vast, unforgiving nature. But as always, within the auspices of Strand of Oaks, Timothy Showalter’s reality is flipped into devastating, absurd and always compelling theater.
