OGRE w/ Panic Boner
Monday, April 27 // Doors at 7:30 PM // Show at 8:00 PM // $12 // $15-$20 Artist Supporter Ogre isn’t aiming to be defined. You could call the three-piece’s sound noise rock, maybe even hardcore—two basses jabbing through a cacophony of pedals and amps, ejecting as razor sharp, with drums erupting in a kind of 360-degree projectile fury. But Ogre isn’t really crafting genre-based songs; they’re more interested in pure sonics, in building a world—one with a somewhat chaotic sound. Before Ogre plays a note, their amplifiers hiss like digital snakes waiting to strike. Ogre is Ace (bass), Grace (bass), and Nils (drums). We could tell you that Ogre uses two basses, three vocal mics, a synthesizer, a few duffel bags worth of guitar pedals, and a drum kit, but that would do their aural onslaught a disservice. Ogre is more than the sum of their decimated parts. Ogre is waiting to strike. Instagram | Spotify Panic Boner is an experimental music trio based out of Missoula, Montana. As they don’t rely on categorization or genre for their band, they have been described by audiences as heavy jazz psychedelic or now wave resembling bands like Wolf Eyes, Black Dice, and a more freeform Hella. P.B. has recently released an album on the chocolate monk label based out the U.K.
