The most popular band on Earth in the year 2047, Old Man Tasty and The Lords of The Future, were banished back in time by their arch-nemeses, the Space Warlocks.
Now they must face a primitive world where their futuristic and revolutionary sounds are misunderstood and underappreciated by the masses. But the Lords hold a secret knowledge that will in time win over their ancestors and defeat the Space Warlocks with the guidance of Old Man Tasty, their mentor in the future.

Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm
HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:
Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.
If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.
If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su
Tonight we welcome Atlanta's NO RIVER CITY, former tourmates of Iron and Wine, Calexico, and Richard Buckner. We think you'll love their rollicking blend of folk, country, and rock combined with their sometimes dark storytelling lyrics. Supporting will be Birmingham favorites The Saturdays, this lineup featuring frontman Bo Butler, John Strohm (Lemonheads, Blake Babies), and Brad Armstrong (13 Ghosts).
Opening for both bands will be Nate Nelson and the Cortrights from Athens, a well-known birthplace of indie rock.
Tickets are $8 for the show, and you can buy them right through our website.
