Lightning Bolt at Emo's the Mohawk: Preview and Giveaway

Like very hot peppers or gratuitously bloody scenes in movies, the music of Lightning Bolt attracts a certain sort of person - an extreme sort willing to push the boundaries of their bodies and brains to often painful levels. Punishing eardrums since the release of the eponymous debut in 1997, this noise duo is touring behind last year's Earthly Delights album. Featuring odd, warbled vocals and only rhythm instrumentation, they either have your number or they don't. Click through the jump to win tickets and read more about the show.

Opening up for the band are Indian Jewelry, who have been visiting our city quite a bit recently from their hometown of Houston. Their latest release is called Totaled, and after playing with Lightning Bolt both here and in Dallas, they'll head up to Canada's most fiercely French province, Quebec, to play the Quebec City Summer Festival. A mysterious band called Guardians will also open.
