We don't know quite to aptly describe the performance by our pals Terrible Spaceship. They seem to nail it best when they call themselves, "multimedia ambient synthetic horror pop." Featuring members of Clip Art, Bumpus, and Grammar, their unique mix of audio and video is a surreal experience but also a hell of a good time. And you're in luck because they're bringing the show to Martyr's tonight giving you a great way to kick off your Rocktober. They're playing along with the aptly named Lowdown Brass Band and the piano-pop trio Lying Delilah. It's an eclectic mix but all three bands are worth the trip up Lincoln Avenue.

Terrible Spaceship may be, ahem, flying under the radar for most Chicago music fans, but they've caught the attention of some movers and shakers in recent months with their stage show. Elaborate and experimental sonic orchestrations accompany the big-screen projection of leader Travis Chandler's film clip mashup whims with startling creativity and just enough self-awareness to walk the better side of kitsch.
