Sarah Rabdau and her Self-Employed Assassin(s) not only have a great name, they also make great music. Drummer Matt Graber backs up Rabdau's sometimes gorgeous, sometimes disturbing vocals and piano work with somehow-melodic rhythms, and the duo are often joined by strings as well. Just as some photos make you wonder whether the duo has been picking berries or killing folks, so too does the music occupy a space between haunted and heavenly. Celebrating the recent release of Rabdau's new album, tonight's intimate show involves a broad range of musical acts, guaranteed to break you out of your indie rock coma.
