Tonight’s Concert Pick: The Key Studio Sessions Live with Black Landlord, Work Drugs, and Hezekiah Jones + Andrew Lipke

Join us this Monday night at World Cafe Live for a free show at 7 p.m. with four of our favorite locals: Black Landlord, Work Drugs, and Hezekiah Jones + Andrew Lipke. The show is our first Key Studio Sessions Live concert. The event is free; registration is required, which you can do here. Doors open at 7 p.m. Work Drugs performs at 7:30 p.m.; Hezekiah Jones and Andrew Lipke go on at 8:20 p.m.; Black Landlord performs at 9:25 p.m.

Speaking of the Key Studio Sessions, we just released The Key Studio Sessions Compilation Volume 2, which you can download for free here. The compilation features music from Arc In Round, Dutch, The National Rifle, Denison Witmer, Hop Along, Matt Duke, Catnaps, Penrose, Arches, Lantern, Nicos Gun, Restorations, Ages, Sisters 3, The War On Drugs, Sonni Shine And The Underwater Sounds, and Work Drugs.

Also playing: Chillwave poster child Chaz Bundick (a.k.a. Toro Y Moi) crafted the sounds of last summer with his 2010 debut, Causers Of This. Bundick set the tone not just for a season, but also for a throng of his contemporaries (including Washed Out, Memory Tapes, and Ariel Pink). The South Carolina native continued his prolific output of side projects this winter with the release of his follow-up album, Underneath The Pine, which marked a departure from his earlier work. But fans were pleasantly surprised by the complex and lush recording, which challenged any assumptions Toro Y Moi might have been saddled with. Toro Y Moi performs with Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Coma Cinema at 8 p.m. at First Unitarian Church at 8 p.m.; tickets to the all-ages show are $14. —Kiley Bense
