Godcaster, Borzoi, Glasshealer

In a breakout year for the band, their self-titled sophomore album was met with rave reviews, they recently organized an epic show in an abandoned Bushwick train tunnel, and they’re now embarking on an international tour. Mythically (but not actually) Melbourne-bred, Austin-based post-punk trio Borzoi, who just released their first collection in almost five years, and local experimental group Glasshealer open.Fri., Oct. 6, 9pm -
