PICK OF THE WEEK: Destroyer @ Spaceland
Heavy guitar riffs, growling vocals, headbanging…you’re actually going to get none of these things you’d expect from a band named Destroyer. What you will get is the glam folk stylings of New Pornographers contributing mastermind, Dan Bejar. Trade devil horn signs with Dan Tuesday at Spaceland.
