Father John Misty
SATURDAY, JANUARY 12 WATER STREET MUSIC HALL, 204 N. WATER ST. 8 P.M. | $15-$17 | WATERSTREETMUSIC.COM [ ACOUSTIC FOLK ] There are a few talking points
frequently mentioned when discussing Father John Misty. You’ll often hear mention of his involvement as former drummer for indie powerhouse Fleet Foxes, and you’re sure to learn of previous solo efforts under his abbreviated given name, J. Tillman. Almost as if in anticipation of these nuggets of history, Tillman takes a clerical bent on “Fear Fun” to rewrite his own history on this, his eighth solo album overall, but first as Father John Misty. Drawing inspiration from his chosen home of Los Angeles, Tillman fashions a creation myth, building his reinvention slowly while expanding on the impetus for the change, all while making motions to earn himself a pious following. — BY DAVE LABARGE
Brother Bear THURSDAY, JANUARY 10 DUBLAND UNDERGROUND, 315 ALEXANDER ST. 10 P.M. | $5-$10 | 232-7550 [ ELECTRONIC ] Brother Bear heads east from Buffalo to
rock the basement at Dub Land and bust out his best mix of house and electronic samples. It’s a bit seamy, but totally catchy, and those who worry they aren’t going to get their dub on can be assured that’s all in the cards, too. Keto will be representing in the club as always, as well as a fun mix of DJs upstairs and down, including Mic See and DJ Fracture, as well as Conjur and Drop Dead. — BY SUZAN PERO
