Built to Spill
Every autumn, Built to Spill sweeps into town for a marvelous show. This year, Built to Spill is on tour in support of their new album, There is No Enemy.
This is the band's first album since 2006's You In Reverse is a testament to three years of work. And the added bonus to the night’s show? A DJ set by the band’s lead singer and founder, Doug Martsch. Ever wondered what musical tastes inspire and influence such a musical mastermind? Now is the time to find out.
Built to Spill comes from the neighboring state of Idaho and certainly fits the mold of a Northwestern band: bearded musicians clad in modest clothing, with thoughtful music and an indie rock aesthetic. Or rather, they set that standard. Doug Martsch, who writes the music, sings and plays the guitar, has been around for twenty years. The current lineup is a collection of experienced musicians: Brett Nelson on bass, Scott Plouf on drums, and two more guitarists, Jim Roth and Brett Netson.
The sound of Built To Spill is eclectic and polished. Their style is lyrical, contemplative and melodic. Each song is filled with strong, layered guitar lines and glorious extended musical segments. Look forward to a mix of new songs and old favorites. While all their songs have an innovative sound, each album features evolutions in their musical stylings and different mixtures of skilled musicians.
Come see Built to Spill as they near the end of a long national tour. The night’s show includes Disco Doom, Finn Riggins and the much anticipated Doug Martsch DJ set.
