Mo'some Tonebender

Over the course of their nearly 15-year career, this genuinely eclectic alt. rock trio have succumbed to to moments of anything from sleaze-rock to shoegaze. Though they threatened to go a little bland (for which read: radio-friendly) on 2008 album Sing!, they made a welcome return to their more abrasive roots on last year's Struggle. The title of their current tour should give you an idea of what to expect: 'Abikyokan' is a reference to two of the eight Buddhist hells, though can also be translated simply as 'pandemonium'.
