Controlled Storms Saturday

It would be nice to control the storms overhead right now and clear out the skies as Booker T. prepares to take the stage at Point Park. But that's not where I intended to go with this.

If Toubab Krewe (who were absolutely awesome last night) didn’t give you your fill of jam for the week, Controlled Storms will roll into the Christmas-lighted darkness of Club Café on Saturday to finish the job. Hailing from across the Commonwealth, their tunes are more ambient-based than others in the jamband community, and they probably shouldn’t even be lumped into that category. Trippy sounds abound atop airy but solid grooves, recalling the Dirty Three as much as (or perhaps more than) any hippy band. Still, the jam is present, breathing fresh energy into the Storms' sound waves. So take cover this weekend down on the Southside.

Opening will be locals Yankee Heat and Round Black Ghosts, starting at 7 p.m. with admission for as many dollars.
