ISIS the band broke up before Isis the terrorist group rose to power. Very awkward for people with ISIS band tattoos. ISIS, at the time, were my favorite band, creating incredibly beautiful and heavy ambiance with their music. Seeing them live was a very immersive experience.
Fans in Los Angeles are in for a treat, for a very good cause, as the members of ISIS are reuniting under the moniker Celestial, which just so happens to be the name of ISIS's debut album. It's a one-night-only reunion for a Los Angeles benefit show to help the family of Cave In and Old Man Gloom bassist Caleb Scofield.
The rest of the lineup is amazing as well, featuring Cave In, Old Man Gloom, Pelican, 27. It goes down October 13th at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.
If you're in the area, this seems like a can't miss show. Get tickets here.
