Nequient, The Central, Bashford

The Central: Alex Roberts and Frankie Furillo.

March 10 update from FPC: **UPDATE: Sarah Longfield is no longer able to make it to this show.

Prepare yourself for an evening of unconventional Midwestern metal that will include the brusque chaos of Chicago’s Nequient, as well as experimental grinders The Central and the grungy, brash Bashford (both from Madison). While all three are worthy and have their own fanbase, the highlight is the headliner. Madison native Sarah Longfield — propelled to guitar geekdom via her YouTube channel — is renowned for her deft two-handed tapping style and mastery of the seven- and eight-string guitar, even earning accolades from Guitar World magazine as one of the world’s best players. Although Longfield can surely shred, her sound reaches far beyond metal, and her ethereal musical diversity is part of her appeal.
