(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- Outpost in the Burbs presents The Silos on Saturday, November 16, 2024 at the First Congregational Church of Montclair. June Star will open the night. Doors are at 7:30pm, showtime is 8:00pm.
The Silos, the still-kicking band Walter Salas-Humara co-founded in New York’s post-punk ‘80s scene played Alt-Rock, Alt-Country, and Americana before any critics coined those terms. Heralded at their outset by Rolling Stone as "America's Best New Band," the resilient Silos mix punk, roots, rock, and sage art-damaged truth telling. Salas-Humara’s narratives take on the weight of attentive, convincing poetry and wry wordplay. The Silos have created a sound that's hard to pin down.
“The band's austere style inflects the astringent twang of The Velvet Underground with the drone of R.E.M. and adds countryish echoes that recall Gram Parsons," offered The New York Times. Their latest effort and 12th studio album “Family” was released in 2022.
Baltimore Maryland’s June Star (Andrew Grimm and Dave Hadley), with aching vocals and plaintive folk arrangements, comes off like a Smog-era Bill Callahan diving inward or The Jayhawk's keen, stark emotional realism. Grimm’s rich baritone voice and Hadley’s atmospheric, elegiac pedal steel brings a time-honored aesthetic to their unique tales of fractious love, quixotic anxiety, the looming
shadow of death, and the promise of redemption.
Tickets are $30 in advance, $33 at the show. Tickets are available for purchase online. Tickets are also available at Watchung Booksellers. First Congregational Church of Montclair is located at 40 S Fullerton Avenue in Montclair, New Jersey.
