Though Houston-based noisemakers Indian Jewelry do have a few core members, their lineup has been known to expand and contract from show to show. It's an unruly setup for an unruly sound: referencing everyone from Sonic Youth and Suicide to the Butthole Surfers, the band's blasted beats face off against squalling synths as guitar rumbles clang beneath heavy toms. The droning vocals, meanwhile, ride a dark wave, smoothing the band's cacophony into a narcoleptic ghost dance. It's a live show powerful enough to render all talk of influences moot and loud enough to make earplugs absolutely essential.
