Wooden Indian Burial Ground/Family Curse/Murdered Man

Suffering from some sub-par production and recording skills Wooden Indian Burial Ground falls just a hair short of being a big contender in their genre. The three-piece group uses some sick distortion to give their songs the energy it needs to sustain them through the long solos of their structured jam. The band is reminiscent of the growing popularity of bands like Tame Impala who combine rock, psychedelic and jam elements into a structured song. However Wooden Indian Burial Ground has a long way to go in terms of their recorded work before they find a good deal of recognition on the national stage. Although the live performance will surely be a must see high energy show for the psychedelic blues rock fans of Cleveland. Be sure to catch openers The Family Curse. In addition to being the spark that keeps the Black Moment flame lit, local screamer Chris Kulcsar plays drums with the avant-hardcore outfit based in Brooklyn, New York. Not sure how he finds time to hold down the two musical gigs, but Kulcsar, who is also a visual artist, has always been good at multi-tasking. Family Curse has just issued its debut, Twilight Language, a heady bit of postmodern punk that simultaneously references Pere Ubu and Fugazi. The band celebrates the release at tonight’s show.
