Giant Palouse Earthworm presents ACADEMY ORDER with WALLOWER & CASUAL VIOLENCE. And whoever wakes in Moscow on April 30, sees, when the lowest boughs are in tiny leaf, the evening will aglow at the Kenworthy Theatre Backstage Speakeasy show. Hark, the Death Rock of Philadelphia, like that the wise thrush, singing their song thrice over, Academy Order serves as shriver and drover. Look to the blossomed pear-tree in the hedge which leans to the field and scatters on the clover, Dreamy Doomgaze from Coeur d’Alene, WALLOWER lumbers closer. To brush the fields of their hoary dew, the Post Industrial rapture begins anew, with Spokane’s CASUAL VIOLENCE holding true.

All Ages. $10 at the door. 7 PM.
