Low w/ Bachelorette
Saturday, September 17
7 p.m. doors | 8 p.m. show
21+ | $18 advance | $20 show
Purchase Tickets From TicketMaster

Aladdin Theater
3017 SE Milwaukie Ave,
www.aladdin-theater.com

Based in Duluth, Minnesota, USA, Low comprises Alan Sparhawk (vocals/guitar/keyboards), his wife Mimi Parker (percussion/vocals) and Zak Sally (bass/keyboards). Formed in 1993, Low were initially influenced by Brian Eno and Joy Division and “the boredom of living in Duluth”.

The band is known for their minimal, hypnotic instrumentation and reverb-laced vocals, similar to the slow-burning power of Morphine. Now, almost 18 years later, the band welcomes the release of their latest album “C’mon”–a succinct piece comprised of new material written on and off the road. Seeing as how the ten-song set was recorded in a former Catholic church, we’re quite certain the group will feel at home when they return to the Aladdin Theater’s heavenly chamber.
