Eight Gigs: He Whose Ox is Gored

Fri., Nov. 6, 8 p.m., Cafe Colonial, $8

There's a lot going on with the music of He Whose Ox is Gored, a Seattle band that melds sludge, prog, shoegaze and more into a dreamy headtrip. They've got a new album out, The Camel, The Lion, The Child, and they're coming to town to show it off with local crushers (waning), which also has very real cred in the “too diverse and groundbreaking to be any one genre” category. Fresno's Beastmaker is also on the bill. If you need it heavy and heady, then come on through. 3520 Stockton Boulevard, www.facebook.com/events/
