Very special show for you TONIGHT at Allston’s Great Scott, presented by the new OPEN LOOP production company. RICHARD YOUNGS is a prolific UK bard, with an industrious output in a dizzying range of musical styles that defy easy classification. This guy transforms folk, the blues, electronics, everything into something radical and progressive, yet intimate and profoundly real all the same. Although he’s released many recordings, his live performances have been rare, and almost exclusively in his hometown of Glasgow – until now. Joining him on his first US tour are friends DAMON & NAOMI – a languid duo of whispy, moving pop with a quiet soft jazz edge (and formerly of Cambridge’s own Galaxie 500). Australia’s MAD NANNA confound the tranquil vibes with dark, disturbingly disjointed folk rock with demented noisy edge that will likely dovetail nicely with Youngs’ unsettling style. Get in on this show and be the first on your block to witness these international artists make their troubling sounds in person.
