Future Islands Tonight at Slims

The Future Islands, formerly Art Lord and the Self Portraits, have one wild front man.  Sam Herring is a bellowing singer that channels greats like Tom Waits and Peter Gabriel but then switches to Prince and George Michael to deliver a powerful, exciting show.  Tonight at 10pm Slim’s hosts these guys (for a measly $3) and it is sure to be an intense electro-pop experience. With a few hours until show time- I encourage you to catch it.

    Saw them last night in Asheville.  Amazing show.

    The front man strikes me as more of a Jack Black clone.  Regardless, it’s always an entertaining and fun show!
