The resulting songs reflect an intense focus on emulating some of the great indie rockers of the '80s and '90s, and the influence of acts such as Pavement and Sonic Youth is apparent. The group comes to the Agora Theatre tonight at 7 as part of a tour in support of Blue Rev. 216-881-2221

Theatrical Events

William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" is widely considered to be a "dark" comedy. It follows a young Novemberitiate in Vienna, whose brother is the victim of an unexpected crackdown on an old and largely ignored law. As she attempts to beg for his life, she discovers a judicial system that has more to do with vengeance than justice. The play examines sexual politics through a particularly gendered lens and asks: When faced with corruption of power, how do we fix broken systems? This play contains mature themes. Parental discretion is advised. 440-826-2240
