It’s been a couple of years since Thee Silver Mt. Zion, which includes Godspeed You! Black Emperor members Efrim Menuck, Thierry Amar and Sophie Trudeau, graced a Toronto stage, and with an excellent new album in tow, this Lee’s Palace show is sure to bring out fans in droves.
The arty, punk-minded five-piece’s latest, Fuck Off Get Free We Pour Light On Everything (Constellation), came out in January and marks a move away from minimal slow songs toward noisy, coiled post-metal. In other words, this gig is gonna rip.
