The lauded experimental rock band Dirty Projectors will perform at the Pabst Theater on Saturday, Sept. 18, the venue announced this morning. The Brooklyn group gained attention through a series of high-concept albums and EPs, including 2007's Rise Above, a vague reinterpretation of Black Flag's Damaged, before breaking out last year with Bitte Orca, an almost indescribable melange of African, indie, jazz and R&B sounds that emerged as one of last year's most acclaimed records.
Dirty Projectors will share their bill with Happy Birthday, a Sub Pop band that plays simple, messy guitar-pop that couldn't be much farther removed from the headliner's arty, world-savvy pastiche.
Tickets are $20 and go on sale Friday, Aug. 13 at noon.
