Hailing from the live music city of Austin, Explosions in the Sky are a live performance unlike any other. Like their name, the band’s music crescendos from melodic progressions into an intense and powerful explosion of instrumental indie rock. Eventually, Explosions in the Sky became one of the most commercially successful bands of their genre alongside Mogwai and Godspeed You! Black Emperor, scoring several motion pictures and being featured in television series and video games.
Explosions in the Sky formed officially in 1999 and released their first widely distributed album Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever in 2001. The band’s fourth full-length album titled All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone became their first to claim a spot in the Billboard Top 200 peaking at number 76 and landed in the top 20 by the release of their following album Take Care, Take Care, Take care. Their latest album, 2016’s The Wilderness is a captivating series of vignettes that carries a sense of vitality and renewal, exploring a new yet familiar sound from the band with more focus on the softer elements of their music as a whole.
Explosions in the Sky are celebrating the 20-year anniversary of their formation this year and will be playing a show here in their hometown for Austin City Limits Live on Saturday, May 30th. Doors to this all ages show will open at 6:30pm and the band will bring the stage to life at 8pm. General admission tickets are currently going for $37 so get yours soon!
