FILED UNDER: Artists, Events, News, Chris Ward, Johnny Brenda's, Kung Fu Necktie, Pattern Is Movement
Over at the Kung Fu Necktie website, the listing for October 30th states that Tera Melos will be performing with Hermit Thrushes, Banned Books, and a “SPECIAL GUEST BAND.” Well, Pattern Is Movement drummer Chris Ward—who is also the Venue Manager at Johnny Brenda‘s (which recently celebrated its five-year anniversary)—just dropped us a line to let us know that the special guest band is, in fact, Pattern Is Movement. The local duo has been keeping a low profile lately while working on its new album (which, according to Chris, is almost finished). Get a sneak preview of the band’s latest batch of songs this Sunday night when Pattern Is Movement performs with Tera Melos, Hermit Thrushes, and Banned Books at 8 p.m. at Kung Fu Necktie; tickets to the 21+ show are $10.
