Wolves In The Throne Room at Echoplex Here's a thought: after hitting up Skrillex and Co at Check Yo Ponytail, just spend the night at the Echoplex, either catching a snooze behind the bar or maybe just under the picnic tables in the smoking area. Then you'll be the first in line to pop back in the next night for a very different kind of evening with Pacific Northwest nature-metal rockers Wolves In The Throne Room. While WITTR traffics in the kind of booming, super-fast metal that usually makes you think of crazy Scandinavian metal bands who burn down churches to prove how "evil" they are, these guys eschew the graveyards and cobwebs imagery of metal for a more thoughtful ecological message, in tune with their Washington roots. Thus, don't worry if Diplo left you too tired to mosh; the band frowns on moshing, preferring that you "lay on the floor and cry." Hey, whatever works. [Details and Ticket Info] [via]
