There will be cool and creepy night sounds on tap at the Miniplex this evening as the cross-continental scenes of Los Angeles and New York merge for a collage of dark tunes. From the closer town comes Thief — featuring members of San Francisco's avant-metal act Botanist — while the far coast is represented by the bleak electronic Hz shards of Piggy Black Cross. If I don't indulge in a late summer escape and jettison from the 707 orbit, I will definitely be here tonight at 8:30 p.m. (price TBA).
