Touring band from Boston, Bent Knee with special local guests The Tweeners and The Fairy Rings.
With a musical aesthetic that morphs rapidly and unpredictably between fragile passages that are "dark, mysterious... and dare I say beautiful?” (Olive Music) to monstrous walls of sound with "a shrieking and wailing banshee, stadium-sized guitar heroics, and pounding rhythmic tides” (Ryan's Smashing Life), Boston's Bent Knee is perhaps the perfect soundtrack for those obsessed with the new and unusual. An immersive journey and an intimate conversation all at once, the group’s live show “sends expectations reeling” (Cover Me) and “lands us into what would go down in hipster heaven history of music transcendence… their sound is terrifying, emotionally gratifying, and moving. Unexpected is what you expect when you watch Bent Knee go from a cacophonous sound check to literally swaying the crowd in tumultuous fervor. We don't love them, we love the way they make us feel. (Playback:stl)"
Since its inception in 2010, Bent Knee has earned high praises from both fans and critics alike, including Deli Magazine's New England Artist of the Month (August 2012), Best Albums of 2011 by Ryan's Smashing Life and Olive Music, and Cover Me's 50 Best Cover Songs of 2011. The ensemble recently arrived home from touring Japan in December 2013, and is currently putting the finishing touches on their second album, slated for release later this year.
