Austinist Show Preview: Dysrhythmia @ Red 7

There's a reason they call it Killadelphia. Although technically the tech-metal three-piece Dysrythmia currently reside in Brooklyn, Philly is both the band's original hometown and the home of its label (the indie powerhouse Relapse), and no matter how sophisticated the playing, Dysrhythmia keep both feet planted firmly in the street.

Still touring for their Steve Albini-recorded breakthrough Barriers And Passages, the band's road-honed chops come through in a live show that blasts through one insanely knotty composition after another with gut-wrenching precision. If nothing else, come out to see bassist Colin Marston wielding his 6-string rumbler like a giant tomahawk, whipping around his long-but-shaved-on-the-sides metal hair like a trailer-park headbanger made good. The only part of this band that doesn't seem completely effortless is their name--how do you spell that again?
