Montréal’s The Dears are coming to the Rhythm Room

on Thursday, May 21. Since releasing 2008’s Missiles, this Canadian sevenpiece has been rounding every corner of North America with their piano-heavy, soulful rock. Somewhat under the radar, they’ve pursued a fanbase the old-fashioned way: playing shows. Don’t miss your chance to see them in an intimate setting in one of the Valley’s most storied spots.

Haven’t heard The Dears? Think Coldplay meets Blur meets a rocketship into otherworldly, symphonic bliss. The band has a rich, vivid live show that will fit the Rhythm Room’s fine acoustics quite nicely. Also appearing: Great Northern and Eulogies. Show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are just $10. Pick them up at Stinkweeds

or Zia or brave the door in the heat.
