Formed in 1991, the band has released five albums on Dischord, Independent Project, and Neurot Recordings. From the fall of 2004 through the spring of 2006, Tone collaborated with Bowen McCauley Dance Company, which led to numerous performances at the Kennedy Center, a festival appearance in Aachen, Germany, and a set of intense new works.
When I first saw Tone in the 1990s, I thought I was hearing a cross between a beefed up version of Pink Floyd’s “Interstellar Overdrive” and some cool movie soundtrack I had somehow never heard before. Since then, while the band’s lineup grew to two drummers, a bassist, and four or five guitarists, and then slimmed-down to three guitars, bass, and drums, they still deliver an intense sonic punch.
Also on tonight’s bill: King Giant, Gifts from Enola, and Dark Sea Dream.
