Martin Dosh is a multi-instrumentalist for esteemed Bay Area label
anticon. On records like his latest, Wolves and Wishes,
Dosh combines basement-muffled drum breaks, tinkling xylophone,
soft Fender Rhodes piano, occasional vocal collaborators, and subtle
studio effects to create songs that range from smart, jazzy hiphop
instrumentals to twee electronica to headlong percussive workouts.
On stage, Dosh surrounds himself with drums, keys, and xylophone to
re-create his studio sound with the help of some trusty looping pedals.
With overwhelming emo marching band Anathallo and locals
Wesafari. (Nectar, 412 N 36th St, 632-2020. 9 pm, $10, 21+.)
