scottheisel Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 From the inbox: PELICAN TO CELEBRATE 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY BY RELEASING 10 LP BOX SET, PLAYING EXCLUSIVE SHOWS IN CHICAGO AND LOS ANGELES THREE FLOYDS BREWERY TO SHOW APPRECIATION BY RELEASING UBER-LIMITED PELICAN-INSPIRED DOPPELBOCK BEER Chicago's reigning gods of heavy instrumental rock, Pelican, have announced plans to play two very special shows in celebration of their 10-year anniversary box set release, out October 19th on Berlin, Germany's Viva Hate Records. The elegantly packaged wooden-box set will be limited to a run of 500 copies and will encompass material from their four full-length releases and three EPs. Formed in Chicago in 2000, the quartet's discography has stood as a consistent refutation of genre and musical classicism, perfecting an obtuse approach that has become increasingly precise and calculated while no less recognizable. Listeners from all corners of the earth have celebrated Pelican's unique instrumental take on metal, watching them spur the genre into new conceptual territory. Pelican play Chicago's Bottom Lounge on October 23rd joined by longtime friends and occasional collaborators The Life & Times. Munster, IN's Three Floyds Brewery, recognized internationally as one of the most unique and distinguished micro-breweries in the country, will celebrate the event by unveiling a special, Pelican-dedicated doppelbock (one of the few styles of beer all four band members regularly agree upon). The as-yet-unnamed ale will be served at the Chicago show and at select watering holes and specialty shops around the Chicagoland area for a limited time. One week after the Chicago appearance, Pelican will join forces with legendary doom-metal overlords Goatsnake (making a rarer than rare live appearance) on October 30th to play the Troubador in Los Angeles, an event likely to be one of the most anticipated So-Cal metal sets in recent memory.

xlovecolouredx Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 lp box set is not a job of mine.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 10-LP Snooze Fest should be more like it. I gave Pelican so many chances and I just could not get into them. It wasn't even the lack of vocals...I just found them to be boring. And I shudder to think about this being done by Viva Hate. How long will it take for people to actually received the box set after they've placed their orders? : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Man, as much as I love this band, I don't think I can warrent buying this. I've got everything they've done already, and some in different variations. I wonder how much it will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackholesun Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I like these guys but not enough to buy a box set. I already have all their releases in some form anyway. And they have sooo many pressings of each release...this is overkill IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long will it take for people to actually received the box set after they've placed their orders? : If its anything like the last box set they released the answer is 3 months or more.

oakland Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 If I have the cash I'll buy it. Not my favorite band in the world but I also don't understand all the hate for them. Still, I can think of a number of other bands that are a better choice for the title of reigning king of instrumental rock. I mean, Don Cab just for longevity.
