Location: Kirk Avenue Music Hall

 

HURT’s music veers between whispering and roaring, melody and brutality, crushing power chords and gentle acoustic moments. The convergence of those extremes -- delivered in irregular time signature define the “HURT” sound. Yet just when it seems that it's all thunder and lightning, they shift into a cheerful melody with gentle acoustic guitars displaying a drastically different side of the band.

Traces of Tool, Nirvana, and mid-period Metallica flicker throughout, but Hurt has created a remarkably individual sound. It is mainstream enough to fit in on rock radio, yet unusual and edgy enough to appeal to the fringes.

------------------------------------

Opening for HURT will be The Wandering Madman. He is a simple man who can no longer ignore how precious life is and how important it is to set your sights on something extraordinary. He traded in a life of comforts for the confines of a cargo van that he now calls home.

He travels the country, spending his days creating music and the nights learning from the people, places and sounds of this magnificent planet. He wanders with no physical destination in mind but rather a state of awareness that he hopes to one day achieve.
