Artificial Astronaut

This local hard rock band recorded two albums in the past two years but has yet to make its live debut. Tonight's concert at the Rialto Theatre will mark its first-ever live show. Songs such as “The Flow State” sound like a cross between Tool and Incubus as it pairs propulsive drums and heavy guitars with softer vocals. Expect to hear it alongside a possible cover or two when the group takes the Rialto Theatre stage at 8 p.m. Jeff Klemm & the Letters and Indigo Lake open.
