The ten best concerts this weekend: 12/7-12/9
5. SOLE @ HI-DIVE | FRI, 12/7/12
For an artist whose career has been built espousing the virtues of DIY self-reliance, it's been a long time since Sole (born Tim Holland) has done a record all by himself with no producers or label people listening over his shoulder. And while Sole confides that this was nerve-racking at times as he worked on his new record, in the end, he says, it gave him space to unleash a verbal barrage that touches on geo-politics, revolutionary ideals and personal growth, among other topics. A Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing is an appropriate title for his new album because Sole seems to leave no stone unturned in his quest to deconstruct the myriad cultural and political ills infecting modern civilization. (Wheelchair Sports Camp, Man Mantis and Sky Rider are also on Friday night's bill)
