[CANCELLED: JULY 18 & 19, 2020] Sparta / Emily Davis and The Murder Police [rescheduled from May 1& 2]
When At the Drive-In broke up, they split into two bands: The Mars Volta and Sparta. The Mars Volta went in a wild, psychedelic/prog metal direction and Sparta maintained a more tradition heavy rock sound.
I enjoyed the first Sparta albums but I hadn’t heard anything recently. I considered going to this show because I’d heard they were really good live.
Emily Davis and The Murder Police [EDMP] are an alt-folk-punk band living in the desert southwest with an affinity for writing aggressive, introspective music. I’ve listened to a few songs and I like what I heard–I feel they are a bit more folk-leaning, but there is a punk edge.
These newly rescheduled dates wound up conflicting with a Ministry show on the 18th. I probably wouldn’t have had the energy for this show, so maybe when they come around again, I’ll be free.
