Chicago instrumental rockers Russian Circles invaded Houston’s Rudyards Pub last weekend with a headlining set jammed with effects-laden loops and dense sonic swirl. The band is touring in support of its just released ‘Geneva’ album, which adds some grander arrangements – including string sections – than on previous records. Led by guitarist Michael Sullivan, Russian Circles ripped though a good mix of old and new tunes in front of a packed house with little vocal interaction with the crowd and no visible set list. As expected, packed pedal boards were on full display. Check out some gear shots from the show after the jump!
