Explosions in the Sky

If you've ever watched an episode of Friday Night Lights, you've probably heard the triumphant, guitar-driven strains of Explosions in the Sky. The Texas post-rock outfit has been mining grandiose, soundtrack-worthy melodies and slowly building arrangements for more than 15 years. One of the band's first gigs took place on the Empty Bottle's stage, so it's fitting that Explosions is returning to celebrate the venue's 25th anniversary.
