[music] El Ten Eleven Headlines The Middle East (Upstairs), 11/23

When: Mon 11/23 @ 9:00pm

Cost: $8adv/$9dos

WHAT: El Ten Eleven are dancefloor badasses, merely based on the fact that they're a duo packing a heavy punch with nothing more than a drum kit and a doubleneck bass/guitar. They've released three full-length albums, the most recent of which being 2008's These Promises Are Being Videotaped. Rat-a-Tat put this odd genre of instrumental hip-hop/rock duos on the map, and El Ten Eleven are here to make it a trend. Opening are Lights Resolve, New Yorkers that swagger and swell with some major powerchord crescendos. (18+)

WHY: Yes. Come for the dancing or head bopping. But their music is perfect for soundtracks and commercials. Catch them before their tunes become ubiquitous in beer ads.
