Czarbles has been a homegrown treasure since releasing its self-titled debut album in 2006, and this will be the trio’s first show since 2020. Guitarist Mark Sauer, drummer Jeff Sauer, and bassist Matt Skemp play instrumental rock of almost maddening complexity, but they’ve dwelt so long in the minutiae of odd time signatures and contorted phrasings that the music becomes catchy, flexible, mischievous, compact, and improbably approachable. Speaking of compact, Czarbles’ most recent album, 2015’s Nausea Trois, clocks in at just over 12 minutes. Stoughton’s Mellow Harsher, playing here to celebrate drummer Goatlord’s birthday, has achieved something of a legendary status for its delightfully punishing grindcore. Madison hardcore band Ferity and Minneapolis grindcore outfit Deterioration further enhance this evening of heavy menace. —Scott Gordon
