Though The National have been building steam in rock circles for awhile now, the band’s latest album, High Violet, helped them find success all over the world. After making the summer festival rounds and completing a full European tour, the emotive rockers are returning to the States. Along with seminal New York band Yo La Tengo and Baltimore-based folk outfit Wye Oak, The National are making a stop at Merriweather Post Pavilion for a night of high-caliber music.
So Percussion
Since coming together at the Yale School of Music in 1999, So Percussion has been creating music that is both raucous and touching, barbarous and refined. Realizing that percussion instruments can communicate all the extremes of emotion and musical possibility, it has not been an easy music to define. Called an "experimental powerhouse" by the Village Voice, "astonishing and entrancing" by Billboard Magazine, and "brilliant" by the New York Times, the Brooklyn based quartet's innovative work with todayy's most exciting composers and their own original music has quickly helped them forge a unique and diverse career.
