Nolan Potter Becomes the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in New Video

From labyrinthine compositions to galvanizing live performances, Nolan Potter’s Nightmare Band never falls short of epic. No surprise, then, that the local lysergic prog octet’s debut video, an extended version of their track “Caberfae Peaks,” arrives as a 10-minute supernatural adventure story.

Levitation Live Shot: Chelsea Wolfe, Ioanna Gika

Central Presbyterian Church sat dark upon entry. A deep purple spotlight cast a thorny shadow over the enormous cross upon the back wall, which seemed to loom over the stage more than most shows hosted by the downtown sanctuary. It also set the spell for a packed house Saturday – the contrast of light and darkness evoked by Ioanna Gika and Chelsea Wolfe.

Levitation Live Shot: Brutus, Russian Circles, Deafheaven

What’s in a voice? In Stefanie Mannaerts’ case, a hurricane. Brutus’ drummer drew all energy to her at Empire’s Garage Friday, second consecutive all-hats-on night at Levitation. Audience tight knit in front of the stage and spilling back onto the long, deep concrete patio, they showed up to check out the Belgium post-punk trio’s hybrid howler.
