Rock band Life in a Blender will perform on Friday, Jan. 23 at the Milford Arts Council at 40 Railroad Ave. South in downtown Milford.
For over 25 years, Life in a Blender has been the canvas for singer and songwriter Don Rauf’s blackly comic landscapes. The group has released albums ranging from screaming punk to orchestrated chamber pop, and has brought the high theatrics of its live act to stages from Berlin to Austin to Toronto to Brooklyn and Seattle.
Don Rauf formed the band with high school friend Dave Moody (then bassist, now cellist), and within a couple of years had acquired the drumming services of Ken Meyer. Guitarist Al Houghton and bassist Mark Lerner joined in 1992, and violinist Rebecca Weiner Tompkins signed on in 1993.
The show opener will be Altimeter, a compadre of the 80s/90s alt rock world, who are reuniting for the show. Band member Tim Topalian is a Milford native and has made appearances at the MAC’s open mic nights.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m.; doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $33 in advance and $35 at the door. For more information, go to milfordarts.org/event/life-in-a-blender-rock-concert/.
