Pelican Concert Tickets

Formed by previous members of the band Tusk, the instrumental post-metal outfit Pelican formed in Chicago in 2001, by guitarists Trevor de Brauw and Laurent Lebec with sibling rhythm section Larry Herweg and Bryan Herweg (drums and bass, respectively). Owing a great debt to the pioneering band Neurosis, and often compared to Boston's Isis and Sweden's Cult of Luna, Pelican were initially signed to Hydra Head Records (whose founder, Aaron Turner, was a member of Isis).

Pelican -- Forever Becoming (Southern Lord) Post-metal giant Pelican doesn't work terribly well in confined spaces. Its tectonically massive self-titled debut EP was longer than most bands' full-length albums. The six tracks on its first full-length Australasia were continent-sized chunks of dense, sludgy heavy metal marked with occasional drifts into major keys and acoustic interludes...

Ataraxia/Taraxis, Pelican's four-song 2012 EP, at the time provided a glimpse of foreshadowing that was absolutely necessary following the flatline mood of What We All Come to Need, the band's last studio album. Along with incorporating acoustic elements that had been a long overlooked strong point within its style, the EP did what What We All Come to Need unsuccessfully tried to do: amp up the mood...

Hardly the sole rock band to discover that heavy sounds better sans an annoying frontman, Pelican gets downright artistic about its "post metal" on fifth LP

Tweet Beauty Attained Pelican is an instrumental metal band that has existed since 2000. At first look, one might think this is a strange approach to making metal music. Though instrumental classics are found throughout the genre, metal bands have consistently made their voice known in their music, whether it be desolate screams or harmonious shouts. Pelican's vocal silence is something far from problematic, though...

Instrumental rock bands engender a feverish devotion. Groups like Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor boast rabid fanbases yet get raked over the coals--much of the time by those same fans. But, perhaps none of the aforementioned groups have seen the kind of "Crossfire"-level handwringing as Chicago's Pelican...

It's been a period of transition for Chicagoan post-rockers Pelican. In 2012, two years after he stopped playing out-of-town shows, guitarist and founding member Laurent Schroeder-Lebec threw in the towel admitting that his heart wasn't fully into it anymore. Stepping up to the plate on Forever Becoming, the band's fifth album in a decade, is Dallas Thomas. Change is a funny thing...

Following 2009's threadbare What We All Come To Need, it was clear that Pelican needed a rest. The pioneering post-metal band didn't just seem exhausted by its own intense schedule of writing, recording, and touring over the previous few years; metal itself had mutated wildly in the new millennium, and Pelican seemed upstaged by any number of hungrier, more focused outfits. It didn't help that Pelican circa 2009 seemed just a little quaint...

Throughout four albums, Pelican rode the border between post-rock and metal. Thick grey fog rolled in from the former, partially obscuring the evils that crawled up through the cracked ground on the latter. With the departure of founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec, these Chicagoans had to do some reinventing in the creation of Forever Becoming . Four years after their last LP, that shift finds the quartet separating the crisp metal pounding from the mist...
