Orbit to Leslie at Silk City Feb. 16

Orbit to Leslie were pretty quiet in 2010, but you already find the space cadets quickly out of the stargate and running in 2011 with a slew of shows to test out the newly configured unit. Some percussions and a metal folding chair just isn’t cutting it these days for the now four-piece so Chris Wood is pulling out the small kit for a little dueling drums action. They’ll be joined by Levee Drivers who seem to be going through some band growing pains of their own. August Lutz and Kyle Perella will be heading down to Nashville this spring to test out the waters and see what type of trouble they can get into. Rounding out the bill tonight at Silk City will be Shutters. Silk City, 435 Spring Garden St., $5, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
