Boris Concert WSG Uniform
From the event description:
Ever since the beginning, the members of Boris have explored their own vision of 'heavy' with a unique methodology and stance that could almost be called aloof. Though Boris adheres to an unrelenting heaviness in everything they do, 'thunderous roars' and 'explosive noise' are too light of words for their singular musicality that can’t be confined to a set genre or style. Using overpowering soundscapes embellished with copious amounts of lighting and billowing smoke, Boris has shared with audiences across the planet an experience for all five senses in their concerts, earning legions of zealous fans along the way.
When: Friday, Aug. 30, 7 p.m.-Saturday, Aug. 31, 1 a.m.

Amine Edge & Dance + Clyde P. Concert
From the event description:
After blazing into the hearts and minds of the international music community with a modernized twist on low-end house and indebted four-to-the-floor, Amine Edge & Dance look set to continue their meteoric rise with another string of sell out shows. Clyde P., the prolific producer, is as comfortable in the studio as he is in the booth. This comes as no surprise having grown up in Paris, France in a musically-inclined household. When not performing, Clyde’s time is spent in the studio vigorously working on his sound of eclectic mixes and creative rhythms, while using clever sampling tracks. Event is 18+. Pre-sale tickets include a $20 drink coupon.
When: Friday, Aug. 30, 10 p.m.- Saturday, Aug. 31, 3 a.m.
Where: The Kennedy, 2408 W. Kennedy Blvd.
Admission: $20-$25
