Free Music: Strangers Family Band, Playing Roofless Records' Strange Days 3 at Bar on Thursday

This Thursday's free show at Bar continues Roofless Records' ongoing series at the venue showcasing the best of, well, the strange. That's strangely good, though. No matter how left-field Roofless' performer picks may seem, they never devolve into the kind of clatter, of say, "experimental noise" or whatever else along those lines. There is always a melodic method to the madness, underneath it all.
This time around, the show kicks off a weekend of Roofless-themed events. (The label is sponsoring a book release and art show on Saturday at the End Gallery in the Design District, and then a Sunday-afternoon brunch at Sweat Records featuring a live performance by the President.)
The out-of-towners this time around, Strangers Family Band, come all the way from Orlando. There they ply their trade with a sunburned, pitch-perfect take on late-'60s psychedelia that sounds like a series of outtakes from a Nuggets boxed set. Hit the jump to download the band's new EP.
Then there's Lauderdale's Mz.Ologist, a sort of avant-garde poetry/hip-hop act, and finally, Miami's own Single, who is, in fact, a solo artiste manning tape loops and other effects wizardry.
We've also got to give a shout-out to the between-set DJ on the bill, just for his name: King Pubert.
Strange Days #3. With Strangers Family Band, Mz. Ologist, Tumblewave, and Single. 10 p.m. Thursday, July 29. Bar, 28 NE 14th St., Miami. Admission is free; age 21 and up; 305-633-9345; bar28ne14st.com
