Mourning [A] BLKstar on stage.

Mourning [A] BLKstar

The brief bio on the website of Mourning [A] BLKstar says the band is “dedicated to sharing stories and songs of America’s unfolding apocalypse.” The Cleveland artists do so on their most recent album, Ancient//Future, with a bracing attack channeling socially aware vintage soul and guitar rock infused by the sound of hip-hop; it packs a lot of punch in its 25-minute running time. Looped musical soundscape creator Def Sonic and cinematic Americana trio Free Dirt are perfect openers.

$15.

“Multi-generational, gender, genre non-conforming amalgam of Black culture, Mourning [A] BLKstar, is dedicated to sharing stories and songs of America’s unfolding apocalypse. Their music melds live instrumentation with hip-hop production creating sonic frequencies that illuminate the African Diaspora. Founded in Cleveland, the US-based Afrofuturist collective continues touring their music globally across Europe and the US, playing festivals from Crossing Border in Berlin with Lonnie Holley to Big Ears Festival and Le Guess Who? in Utrecht.

Founded in Cleveland, Ohio.”
