with Primitive Man
Russian Circles plays Gothic Theatre, a 1,100-capacity large club in Englewood, on Thursday, November 19. Also on the bill: Primitive Man. Doors open at 7 PM and the show starts at 8 PM. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (532k listeners, 1,100 capacity). Russian Circles also has 5 other dates on Go See Shows, in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
At the end of 2014, Chicago trio Russian Circles celebrated the 10-year anniversary of their first show. A decade is a long time for any band to persevere, let alone a band that mines the relatively unmarketable niche of protracted instrumental dirges. But whereas many bands on the louder end of the rock-based instrumental world are content to work within the confines of the crescendos and washed-out timbres laid out by their predecessors, Russian Circles persistently expand their creative boundaries by working with a wider swath of sounds and structures.



Primitive Man is a blackened sludge metal/doom metal band formed in February 2012 and features Ben Kennedy on Drums, Ethan Lee McCarthy on vocals and guitar (Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, Death of Self) and Jonathan Campos on bass (Reproacher).
