Akron/Family performs "Gone Beyond"

Hardworking band Akron/Family has literally played hundreds and hundreds of shows since the release of their debut album, Akron/Family (Young God Records), in 2005. Their sound runs between the currently popular experimental “freak folk” and more standardly accessible free-jazz improv, with more than a nod to rock groups like Modest Mouse and Built to Spill. The latest release for Young God is 2006’s Meek Warrior, which the group has been promoting with a very busy tour along the Eastern seaboard. Said tour brings them to Soundlab on Saturday (March 17), for a show starting at 9pm.
